Two days has passed, and it has.....EXHAUST me out totally. From the time i entered the class to the time i knock off, i practically have not much time to rest. I was busy trying to settle down the children. I AM SERIOUS. I was practically like a maid than a teacher. The whole afternoon, I was asked to do the following things: feed them during lunch time, hold the water and milk bottle for them, after their lunch, i have to wipe the table and sometimes, mop the floor. When it comes to shower time, i have to undress them, and bath them. Following that was the sleeping time. After they sleep, that was the only time i had time for myself. After the children wake up, i have to wipe the mattress, front and back then place them inside the cabinet. All in all, it is so tiring! I am still trying to get used to the routine there.
(I believe N1s should be given time to eat themselves rather than teachers feeding them. This is so conflicting with what i have learn from infant and toddler behavior. Also, they should have self help skills and not always rely on adults. ) bahh, nvm. since i am attached to this centre, i should ADAPT to it.
Am glad about something, my mentor! She may look fierce and she does shout throughout the day. BUT she helps me in my work, and plan for us to make sure we score for fp. Not only that, she requested that our reflections have to be marked by her before she give comments. I saw my senior! She was my foc gl and so surprisingly, i saw her working there as a teacher after she graduate! She is really helpful and she gave me some tips in how and what to teach this challenging class.
Apart from the environment, i thank God that the teachers are nice and friendly. All in all, i hope that i can get used to the environment, to the cleaner, to everything in the centre. LOL.
I had a good news, i got a job during the holidays. Its a super slack-er job and only requires me to make phone calls. (: (Don be mistaken, its not telemarketer!) I am going to spend my time away by bringing my school work there to do. Super flexible! wheee.
Phew, i guess i have penned down my thoughts and feelings.
This picture, is so nostalgic! Am thinking of the the times, we had so much fun together.
I am slacking at my sofa, thinking of what to do next.
