Secret

after a series of unfortunate events in school… i’ve decided to watch the movie ‘Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events’.. well..watching movie is a big big thing… coz i will NEVER wanna spend $8.50 on a show… nvtheless… i really like the show… i like how the narrator speaks to us, the audience.. and it feels really authentic.. especially the snake part…. geeez.. if u watch it u’ll know.. :beam1

so.. since, the very thrify amanda spent $8.50 on a show… u better watch it too.. coz i dun watch bad shows…. heeez… next show to watch is Pooh’s Heffalump!!!

Heffalump is soooooooooo cute…. i set him as my wallpaper already!!! :beam1

sch today was ok… juz tt my CT didn’t come… so i took over all the classes… so from 7.30-12.50…i only had 45mins of rest… i spent 1 period with the EM3.. which was not too bad…except 1 boy got caught by the tcher from the next class… i hope i won’t get into trouble for this then spent the other 8 periods with my rightful practicum class…

i like my own class…. they are very well-behaved.. and they know the limits of their noise level… so… i brought them to computer lab… get them to look for poems… and they found the poems.. wrote it down on blank pieces of paper i gave them… and even decorated it…. the boys did the poems too… but they were more interested in playing games…. caught 2 boys playing some fighting game… i juz need to rationalise with them and warn them to close the window in 1min… and they did!!! :tongue1 wow….gd class!

did sci workbook with the kids… they were really good and smart in sci… i feel so inferior of my content knowledge in sci.. not even that…. pupils even need to help me to spell ‘laundry’ and ‘hydroponics’… i admitted i dunno how to spell.. so the kids spelt it for me… i’m v impressed… i juz hope tt they will not think that i’m a lousy teacher…

overall… it’s a great day today… compared to yesterday… yesterday was a hell day.. and i dun really wanna talk abt it…. yar.. maybe coz i was looking forward to see BH after sch tt’s why… :smile1

right… time to slp now…. this wkend is dedicated to Lesson plans and powerpt slides.. *sigh*

geez. juz got back from sch… i feel tired…. hmm… sch is tiring lar… i didnt do invigilation today… BUT i got to do invigilation tml…

i am so angry with that bloody class that i’ve been relieving for the longest time… that class is a living HELL… it’s a P3 class…it’s damn noisy… the boys shout at the top of their voice and treat the class like a playground.. the worst thing is.. they are not afraid of me… no matter how fierce i am.. yes.. i gave them a BLACK face when i entered their class for the very 1st time… BUT it juz didn’t work….

to top it up…. i took them for like 3hrs yesterday.. 1.5hrs today…. it’s HELL… i thot i cld die.. coz those BOYS were playing with insects!!!!! :pout1 those insects were v disgusting ok! and i got the boys to surrender them… yucks! but i still got to act brave…. and luckily it was the last period.. i got that naughty boy to put those insects back to the place he caught them…

today… they didn’t play wif insects… BUT they played with plasticine and glitter…. argh…. it’s ok if they dun mk too much noise… BUT it’s HELL…

let me tell u.. i have a bloody ulcer at my mouth and it mks it hard to speak too… the ulcer hurts…….yes… the living pains of a teacher…

HOWEVER, i can’t help but to think tt teaching is quite a gd job…
1) stable income
2) least likely to be retrenched
3) children are easier to deal with than adults
4) morning session can go home early…. after session can go sch later
5) things u need to do… lesson plans.. admin stuff… attend meeting…
6) 5 day week
7) good bonus…

what’s so bad abt teaching?? i’m sure i’ll get the hang of things…. like… in future if i have more experience.. Lesson planning will be easier.. children will be afraid of me coz i’m a permanent teacher… admin stuff i’ll be able to handle coz i dun have any family commitments…. i can have all the time i want on my work…i have nothing to lose :beam1

yes… i’m sure BH dun mind a busy me.. :beam1 coz i’ll not disturb him that much… furthermore, he will be bz as it’s his last 1.5 yrs before he graduate… and then he’ll probably be bz with work.. and i’ll be bz completing my bond….

yupz…. my life is good…. i shld count my blessings :beam1

i always pity those teachers with kids… coz they need to worry abt their health when they are sick…. and they got a family life… and being young parents.. they’ll have lots of bills to pay…

so i was telling BH that…. IF and only IF we are gonna be together in future…. i’ll work to get my monthly pay…. though the pay is low… i’m not gonna tk up extra jobs and give myself unnecessary stress… yes.. i’ll try to get promoted though… heeez…. the pt is i’m willing to save-up every single cent of my pay… wahahaha… a slow way to get rich… BUT if BH work… then i can leech from him… anyway, he MUST sub me a Credit Card! :wink1

things i have to bear in mind….

English
1) every 3 units pupils need to do 4 compositions( 1 from WB, 3 from outseide ( situation or picture with a qn mark)
2) of the 4 compos… 1 compo must involve peer editing
3) do exercise from homework bk after a topic is being taught (give pupils as hw)

quite manageable i think…

every 2 weeks have to do a lesson plan schedule + reflection on the lessons…. for every lesson i need a lesson plan…BUT the schedule is part of my lesson plan already…

right… not so bad for the planning part….

the bottomline…………. I WILL SURVIVE :grin1

hope ulcer will be alright soon… :mad1
