Leap year..

I was sooooo looking forward to go outdoor today.

I wana stand in fron, jus like ytd.

N me n te chn will have fun.

Unfortunately, we cldnt go outdoor today as Hajar helped nursery (cuz waheedah on 1/2 day annual leave m liu lao shi on mc).

Soooo. 3 tcrs Left; me komathi n tahirah(since vivian is nt consider as one tcr as she is trainnee tcr).so cant go outdoor :(

I made use of 10am-11am to Do hands on wif chn(collage of paper tt they tear).

Anddddd.

Val n wu lao shi were both in office.

Leaving caleb n nurul alone in class.

I tot val say we cant leave trainee tcrs alone wif a group of chn. What is this now? Leave the class with 2 trainee tcr -.-!

Anyway, its cassandra last day in this centre today.

Tmr, she will b gg to another centre :(

We chipped in money to gt popeyes for lunch..

During chn nap time,

I Pour glue into small container.

Then i did evaluationfor te day and submitted wap (since i cant submit it tmr as i m on annual leave).

After high tea, it was quite chaotic,

Xavier had ucler in mouth n on hand.

Haziq had spots on right hand n mouth too.

Uwizz had spots on his back.

Hopefully it is not HFMD!!!

At 5pm, when xavier haziq n uwizz parents were being informed abt their child's condition, and were seperated frm other chn.

I tried to settle down my chn.

I gt komathi's group of chn to sit ard table to play toys while i conduct circle time with my group.

Then i swap.

Quite successful :)

Very happyyyyy.

530pm-6pm is a lot of sending chn off!!

At 6pm, i gt the chn to sit on mat. And i played video frm my laptop :)

Managable.

So proud of myself :)

Phew.

The day ended wif me washing the toys :)

Tts all.

Really hope there is no HFMD cases!!!

Min

First few major mistakes made..

We went for Outdoor walk todayy...

I finally gt the chance to walk in front.

Great! I like it!

I walked slowly, talk to the children abt anything n everything:)

In btr control of te class(as compared to me standing at the back).

I also feel tt chn learn more as i talked more. Hahahaha.

(as compared to komathi walking n rushing when she is in front).

Anyway, me n hirah brought vivan n caleb out of centre.schnet, printing mar attendance list

Went 7-11, wet market, bubble tea shop.

Just touring them around :)

Andddd.

I marked schnet and printed mar attendance :)

As i return the laptop at 245, val gave me centre closure form (2days in june as tcrs go for training) to be placed in chn comm book.

Gosh.

Hw last min can she gt???

If i didnt go into office to return laptop, wat time will she give me the form?? I m nt superwoman, i nd time to slot into each individual comm book too!!!

Anyway, i was soooooooo blur today -.-!

I was changing diapers. And i mistaken cayla's skirt of haziq shorts n wore it for haziq.

Soooooooo haziq wore skirt n walked out of the toilet!

Goshhhhh!!

I quickly changed haziq into his shorts!

Thk goodness hajar n komathi spotted it :x

Anddddd.

Rayden pass motion.

I brought his bag into the toilet.

Then i realise his towel n soiled clothings are not inside his bag!

I panicked.

I searchedddddd for all other bags!!!

Every one only one plastic bag of soiled clothing.

(except for uwizz, he had two sets of towels n two sets of soiled clothings).

I recalled.....

Oh, i had placed rayden's towel n soiled clothing in uwizz bag while showering them one aft another.

I even mistaken tt uwizz did not wash previous days clothing n towel.

Hahahaha.

What a joke:(

Thk goodness rayden pass motion, n i realise this issue.

If not!!!! Rayden wld be home enpty handed without towel n soiled clothing, while uwizz wld be back home with 2 sets of towel n soiled clothing.

Rayden's parents are still not too bad, but uwizz parents are more......... Hard to pls!

Thks goodness tt prob is resolved.

Ahhhhh. How blur m i today -.-!!!

At 5-6, lots of things happen.

Yen wei pass urine on the floor.

Joe overflow. Lots of chn gg home.

Hahahha.

At 6, things seem to be better.

I read a book which i borrowed frm the library :)

Time pass quickly and soon its time for me to go home :)

Min

We are into term 1 wk 9, hw fast!!

Monday blues?

Haaaaa.

Its the start of the week, and we are into week 9 of term 1.

How time flies!!

Went to wrk earlier at 830 instead of 9.

Change the song chart, prepare materials for lesson.

At 9am, I get the children to drink water n we sang good mrning songs and all as komathi are still busy with recieving children into centre.

At 930, i did hands on with my chn.

Tearing of paper.

At 10, we went outdoor. Yay!!!

And as usual, i was mad at komathi.

She walked soooooooooo quicklyyyyyu tt the chn couldnt catch up. Tsk.

Andddddd..

There are two assistant teachers frm TP in our centre for attachment.

Tcr vivian will help toddler while tcr caleb will help k2.

When tcr hirah shower the todd, tcr vivian was looking aft the remaining chn(whom usually will b left alone if there's no extra help).

This time, tcr val step in to say it is not appropriate to leave tcr vivian alone with the todd n tt one of te pg tcr shld oversee tcr vivan n todd.

Hmmmm.

How ridiculous?

Anyway, tcr hajar n i took turns to look aft tcr vivan n the todd since pg are having lunch..

Nap time!

It was a slacking day.

Me hajar n komathi went out for brk.

Bought bubble tea and waffle for the tcrs frm the other bay.

Slack...

Called mingxuan n cayla n shermaine parents to check their conditions since they did not come sch today.

N i slotted notice into comm book:)

Then i went out again with hirah since vivian did not go out with her. Heeee.

I like hirah's accompany :):)

Aft high tea and diaperings,

I gt my group of chn to add features to their feelings mask (nose, hair).

I will do the mouth for them. Heeeee:)

Hope it will turn out well.

It's soon 430 and komathi knock off.

Vivian left too.

Sooooo.

Me hajar n hirah were left to look aft the chn.

Hirah took her todd class.

Hajar took Komathi group to play play dough.

I send my group to fine motor corner where each of them take a tray to manipulate with.

It was still manageable until sherman had fever! And heiirishaa vomiited! And its a time whereby many chn are gg home!

After this period, its much more peaceful.

At 545, hirah n i gt the chn to drink their water.

Then, i read a book "i went walking"(a book i borrowed frm the library) to them.

It was peaceful n manageable.

Hope everyday wld be like this.

Hahahaha ;p

Min

TGIF :)

Had to wrk OT for 1/2 hour today toooooo.

Cause tcr cheng cheng went for course!

I came early today to prepare home science materials and equipments.

At 730, tcr manisa frm infant class came to help me.

It was still manageable as there wasnt much chn.

One by one, the chn start coming in.

Lucky tt tcr cheng cheng wrk at 830.

So it wasnt tt bad;)

Tcr cheng cheng read chinese books to the chn in te mpr room.

Things were much in control as i continue to recieve chn at 9plus.

At 930, the chn were split into their classes; toddler n playgroup.

They were asked to drink their water.

Komathi was late today.

She claims tt there was an accident on the road n she drove to sch. Hmmm.

Anyway, did some circle time with the chn till 1015.

Started home science activity; chn roll dough (mixture of crushed biscuit n peanut butter n honey n milk) into ball.

It was soon lunch time.

N oh no!!! Sherman bite uwizz :(

Applied ice on uwizz..

After lunch, its te busiest time of the day.

Transition btw lunch n shower n nap!

Actually i do feel proud of myself.

All by myself, i manage to sweep the floor while keeping an eye on the chn who are reading books and calling chn in one by one to shower (n thk goodness, i was alert, sherman nearly bite mingxuan!!).

aft sweeping floor, i manage to take out mattress, take temperature, lay mattress:)

So proud of myself, seriously :)

Chn nap time.

I manage to make mingxuan slp:):)

I went over the other bay to wash the equipments used for home science activity.

And i marked sch net.

I also slot te notice of HFMD 4-steps checklist into each chn comm book :)

Andddddd.. I manage to go out with hirah for a while.

I felt good today:)

Knock off at 5pm:)

TGIF :)

Min

Board of director came for visit..

Ot for half a hour today.

Start wrk at 7 instead of 730.

Hmmm..

I came at 630 to clean the toilet, return the tray i had borrowed from the other bay art corner.

Remove art pieces at art corner(as requested by ms rai)

And i manage to prepare Materials for today's lesson.

I also updated food schedule. Hmmm.

quite productive i wld say.

At 7am, i did all te recieving of chn as tcr cheng cheng had to oversee some other stuff as board of directors are coming..

Busyyyy busyyyy till 830 whereby we have lots of help.

In our bay, there were tcr hirah, tcr cheng cheng, tcr komathi, tcr hajar, tcr cassandra, tcr ding li and me.

Wow, since when we have 7 tcrs instead of 3/4? Hmmmm.

Oh yes, for show for board of director.

Tcr dingli was helping tcr komathi when tcr hajar n tcr cassandra help set up water n sand play area.

I was left alone with my group.

Felt lousyyyyyy today.

Super super lousyyyyyy.

Cause... I didnt manage my chn well.

As i gt my chn to wash their hands n gt ready for outdoor, mingxuan heiirishaa n rayden had to played with the chairs

(cant blame them for being curious too as this is te first time tables were brought outdoor n there were only left with several chairs in classroom. Moreover, it is near the toilet area).

Still, i blame myself for nt being able to manage them.

Especially mad at myself as i have 3 absentees today, and i only have 6 chn wif me.

Hmmmm.

Sand play was so-so.

Split my group further into smaller groups.

3 do sand art while 3 play at sand trough..

It takes some time to settle rayden and julian.

As they were happily playing at sand trough n didnt want to exchange to do sand art.

Chn nap time was okay?

I did evaluation for today.

Had submit wap n evaluation n mc.

And i update the sign in n sign out book

Andddddd.. I updated the log book toooooooo.

Besides, with te help of tcr hirah, we manage to pack the cupboard(the mattress cupboard) now its cleannnnn :) :)

Quite mad with komathi.

Wanted go out with hirah

But we didnt manage to.

Cuz when i txt her to ask wat time she come back(knwing frm auntie tt she is at the other bay) cuz i wan go out, she replied "oh ya, i m at the other bay, waiting to talk to ms rai".

Sighhhh. So end up me n hirah didnt go out as it was alrdy so late.

And aft high tea, hajar realise tr zuyao pass motion.

She told komathi abt it. I guess she expected komathi to change as i was taking temperature of chn and hajar was feeding heiirishaa.

End up, komathi didnt change zu yao.

When i finish taking temperature n wanted go take zuyao bag to change him, hajar was one step ahead of me; she alrdy took zuyao bag n otw to change zuyao.

Glad tt i have assistant help like hajar :)

Aft i end wrk at 5pm, i called up cayla n yaozhu n uwizz n amber parents to check with them if their child is okay with tmr home science activity as it involve peanut butter.

N i just realise all these chn are frm komathi group!! N i m helping her yet she is nt appreciative.

Anyway, nvm la. Cuz these chn are still in my playgroup class.

Anyway, i went to shop n save to buy ingredients for home science activity.

Bought bubble tea for tcr hirah since we didnt manage to go out today during chn nap time!!

N off i went, at 540pm :)

Jiayou.

Min

Lost my voice; mc 2nd day

Mc today too.

Did captions for chn wrk for glueing with crepe paper n glueing with yarn.

Tried doing an emotion mask.

Google the different ways to do a mask.

Find tt it is more meaningful if chn do their emotion mask themselves. Shall gt them to do it on monday then :):)

I tried doing one to act as sample for them :)

Since i am home today, i also searched for pictures tt show variety of emotions for nxt wk circle time lesson :)

Did total compilation of parents profile.

Had send soft copy to ms rai n tcr val.

I also printed out hard copy to give ms rai tmr.

Talked to tahirah over the phone for a while.

She update me of today's happening.

Ms rai held a meeting frm 2.15pm to 4pm.

Gosh! Tts freaking looooooong.

Anyway, things are more or leas done.

I helped print and laminate some stuff for parents corner.

Off i go to bed.

Its gg to b a tiring day tmr!

Min

Lost my voice; mc

Mc todayyyyyy.

Bt At least i 交代 ppl with my incomplete wrk.

I gt cheng cheng to check wif shermaine parents if shermaine celebrating bdae tmr or nt.

I tried calling ytd (once during nap time and another time aft i knock off), Bt cant gt hold of mum n dad.

Then i seek help frm tahirah to help me

-clean parents corner table with cif

-Paste velcro on puppet (either today or tmr)

-submit parents profile to ms rai(tmr since ms rai nt in today)

I wanted ask komathi help me to Paste chn name on parents sign in and sign out book(cuz nxt wk no more alrdy).

Bt i can do this when i back on thurs since i alrdy cut the attendance sheet.

I went library to borrow books ;)

I slept. Too tired.

Then...

I look through portfolio.

I created cover pg and 4aspects(fav physical activity, fav creative expression, fav friend and fav circle time activity) for my group of 9 children.

I also create a photo folder for each of them, for easy access when i do port folio for them in time to come.

So proud of myself :)

Stil didnt manage to prepare nxt wk lesson. Guess i will do it tmr then :)

Min

Fallin sick :(

Had sexy voice today :(

Didnt gt to go outdoor cuz there is only tcr hirah, tcr komathi n me.

Tcr hajar is on enculturation,

Tcr chengcheng need help k1 as tcr roz is on mc.

So..

I made use of te outdoor time to do my circle time.

I gt the chn to sing "i like u, u like me" song.

And and.. Recap on "looking through my window" song.

Wheeeeeee.

My group of chn played in the discovery corner till its lunch time:)

I felt proud of myself during transition.

While komathi did showering,

I manage to sweep the floor, settle the chn down to read books, get mattress cover, take temperature, and at te same time, take height of chn ;)

Though i was nt in time to lay all the mattress, i still felt proud of myself.

At least the chn are nt super messy and running all over.

At least they seems to knw the procedure.

At least i felt i m in control though my voice are at its minimum :)

Nap time :)

And komathi went off!!

She claim tt she is gg hm as she left the centre keys at hm, and she gt to return to val.

Sighhhhh.

During chn nap time, tahirah and i change the title of the documentations, change biege paper of paper bag me, tried sticking cellophine paper using glue.

We wanted put up water and sand play documentation using 3M but we realise there isnt any hook. So we cldnt gt it done, will do so tmr.

And..

Wu lao shi said ms rai wants me to help te other bay. Hanging the mobiles at art corner.

And so i went over.

Thus, i havnt wipe the parents table using cif, neither have i update the sign in and sign out book.

I went over the other bay.

Did lots of climbing on ladder.

Extremely high. Ladder on table!!!

Gosh...

I manage to complete task; had a sense of satisfaction.

It's Rayden's bdae(:

Andddddd!!

Aft high tea, i wanted to feed yao zhu medication.

I realise tt uwizz medication form are nt filled up by tcr.

I asked komathi abt it.

To my horror, Komathi did nt fed uwizz medicine aft lunch(even though i asked her to. Even tahirah said she heard me saying. Besides, i said it twice, jus to ensure my msg are conveyed)

Komathi says she tot i was gg to feed uwizz !! ;(

Soooooo...

Komathi fed uwizz aft high tea instead, and gt to explain to uwizz parents regarding this matter.

Lucky tt i m nt the one doing closing, thus i nd nt explain to uwizz parents. Its her who is doing closing. Anyway, it is only right and fair for her to do the explaination since she is the one messing things up :(

I m losing my voice. I shld c the doc.

Cuz wed n thurs r crucial. Shldnt mc on those two daysssss.

And i dun think i can pull through wed n thurs to take mc on fri!

Soooooo.

I m gg c the doc later..

Min

First wrking sat of the yr

Wrking sat.

Somehow felt tt i m nt productive today ;(

Sighhhh.

Tcr roz whole time sat on chair and use her laptop.

I wanted to do a lot of things.

But i cldnt bear to leave the chn alone. Since tcr roz is also nt looking aft them. N tcr hajar is one sat-off-in-liu today.

I looked aft the chn; talk to them, let them play toys. Serve breakfast. Play discovery thing. Serve lunch.

Then got ppl ask abt regristration.

Then gt stationary delivery guy come.

Oh yes, wang chuan came too.

N today aida and yen wei pass motion. So i changed.

During chn nap time, tcr roz went out. Frm 1145-1245.

So i make sure all of them slp.

Then i finally got time!!!

I put up labels for art corner.

And the book labels.

And black backing for song charts.

And repaste the todd chi art wrk n dramatic corner (tr one tt komathi did).

N helped waheedah a bit with her nursery parents profile.

N i pack up the tcr cupboard in the middle of the classroom de. Cuz komathi water bottle sweets are all over. I kind of pack it.

I......

Havnt change biege paper for the paper bag me.

Anyway, alan grandma came to fetch alan at 210 instead of 2.

I asked her fill up the late pick up form.

She was unhappy about it and keep saying she is always early on usual days. Jus tt today she overslept. -.-!

Overslept? Wat is this? Might as well dun send on saturday right? Tsk!!

Anyway, sat shift end alrdyyyy :):)

Min

Never ending wrk..

Ms rai mention during monday meeting tt she will be coming to our classroom on fri for a tour.

She wld want to knw what we wld like to showcase when she bring board of director around for tour nxt thurs.

She say we shld do smth abt our environment.

Hmmmmm.

Last two days when she was not around,

We had wrked hard. We as in me n hirah n hajar. Tt komathi didnt do anything at all!!

We....

Added sallophine paper on window.

Did sand/water play documentation.

Put up rubber band for art corner.

Ms rai came to our class todayyyy.

She commented about our headings.

She said instead of "My Family", it should be "My family".

Only first letter should be upper case. Hmmmmm.

Tt wld means we need to change all the titles :(

Hirah will be helping wif tt.

Anddddd.

She mention about the books placed on the shelves.

She commented tt no one will knw the purpose of the books there. We shld label it, for example "books we read this week". Then placed labels frm mon to fri..

Hmmmmm..

I will b in charge of this.

N i dun wan komathi to keep doing nth.

So i gave her a task.

To wrap the library books.

Due date is tuesday.

Hopefully she will do her wrk :)

Oh yes.

The puppet in library corner is spoilt

:(

Soooo. I will redo my puppets while hirah will redo hers.

Ms rai mention we are more or less done.

So we need help valerie with parents corner.

Hmmmm.

Never ending wrk.

But!!

At least she say we are more or less done.

Quite relief to hear tt :)

Andddddd.

Sherman bite joe today:(

I applied ice for joe and had inform both joe n sherman's mum alrdy.

Sigh.

So upset tt such things happen.

Hope no more biting cases!!

Breathe...

Min

Fruitful day i wld say..

Fruitful day i wld say.

Went out with todd for sand and water play.

Todd were engaged in water play.

Komathi group were engaged in sand play and sand art.

I was supposed to do movement(walking fast and slow), bt.... I improvised as i tot movement is too boring and they will soon be distracted :p

So...

I gt them to walk fast/slow frm one point to another, and when they reach, they gt to scoop sand frm one container to another. Heeee.

Somehow, it did sustain their interest for a while.

But... They soon drifted ;(

Soooooo, i gt the chn to sit in circle.

And i gt one child to hold container with sand and spoon while the child next will hold empty container. The first child will scoop sand to the container tt the other child is holding. Then.. They will pass the two containers around respectively.

Yay! Successful :)

They were engaged.

Except for julian :(

Sighhhh.

He drifted to water play. Hahahaha :p

Anyway...

As usual, i did showering today.

And hajar helped komathi outside sweeping floor, take temp and lay mattress. But hajar left halfway to helped the other bay.

So komathi was left alone.

Andddddd :( alan was bitten by heiirishaa. Sighhhhhh :(

Felt very upset.

I tried calling alan mum, bt number nt available. Couldnt call through alan dad phone. So icalled grandma to inform abt injury.

Grandma was super upset and keep nagging at me :(

Anyway, i wash the sand and water play toys during chn nap time..

Anddddd. I did pg parents profile :)

And i put up water play documentation.

Time pass soooo fast n its time for chn to wake up!!

I gt nt enough time to put up sand play documentation...

Xin rong mum n grandparents came.

Its xin rong's bdae ;)

3 years old.

And she had a barbie doll cake.

I took a deeeeeeep breath before i cut the cake.

What a challenge. Haaaaa..

Quickly clean up the dining area and changed diapers..

And its alrdy 430.

Time to knock off!!!

I stayed back a little, to put up the sand play documentation,

I did my lesson evaluation for today and submitted evaluations and wap ;)

Min

Still doing up environment..

I gt half of my chn to do art wrk of glueing crepe paper(which is suppose to be for ytd lesson)

while the other half(who had done art wrk ytd) played at fine motor corner, which include pegboard and photos with pegs. Heeheeee.

during nap, i Explained to the tcrs abt te parents profile template tt i had did.

Spend some time explaining it...

I did look at the files of my pg chn for te parents profile. But i didnt manage to do all.. Shall continue tmr? Hmmm.

Then...

Last half an hr before the chn wake up, me n tahirah discuss about sand and water play area, as well as art corner. We are thinking of adding things to it since ms rai is still nt satisfied with our environment.

Komathi sat there n did nth.

Hajar helped with some suggestions.

Me and tahirah sat down and read the "caring spaces, learning environment" book.

And we got some ideas :):)

Decided to put documentation for sand and water play.

And put hanging mobiles at art corner.

Hajar was effective. She mms me te photos she took of todd during sand play.

Anyway, its time to wake up!!

Aft nap,

As i come out to call chn to change diapers, i saw Komathi writing smth.

For a moment, i tot she taking temperature.

End up, its nt.

She gt te bloody time to write diary.

And no time to take temperature of chn.

Wat is this? Haisssssss..

Anyway, i went home shortly aft expected timing(4.30pm).

I went home to do captions for sand and water play.

And i print, cut, laminate and cut.

And i went to develop photos for sand and water play.

Oh yes, i laminate black paper as backing of photos too.

Overall, i felt tt i did quite a lot today :)

Cheers..

Min

AGM visit... On vday -.-!

AGM and a few principals came to our centre todayyyyyy.

Goshhhhh!

It was busy busy busy the wholeeeeeeeeeeee day.

N komathi jus have to make me angry each day :(

I helped her with sweeping the floor, and handed over to her halfway since i got to do showering as it is alrdy 1145.

Then say "i sweep floor then chn will run ard"

Dots.... i alrdy help her sweep half.. (when she do showering, she didnt even help me sweep floor la).

I gt pissed and i replied "last thurs n fri i also alone outside sweep floor, take temp, put mattress".

She kept quiet aft my reply.

Anyway, rush and rush and rush.

And yes, we manage to gt the chn to lie down on mattress at 1230 n all slept by 1 when AGM came.

I gave out vday notes. Hhehehe.

And tahirah said she need some fresh air.

So i went out with her. At least we are away frm komathi for a while.

Just Felt great with her :)

And i showed val and ms rai the template of parents profile tt i did.

Ms rai commented tt it will be too time-consuming if we are going to update child by child.

So said we should jus do a compilation.

However said tt, we still have to flip through each child details to gt compilation.. so might as well do child by child n use IT method to compile. Hahahahaa. At least nxt time when we need child details, we can jus easily pull out. Killing two birds using a stone :)

And..

Waheedah is on leave today.

Cheng cheng n tcr roz on child sick leave today.

So we are super short of tcrs.

I was asked to Ot for 1 and 1/2 hours today.

So i end wrk at 6pm instead of 4.30pm.

I am so drained now.

Of all days, i jus have to OT on vday

:(

Haiyooooo...

Nvm, will enjoy vday later with boyf :)

Min

Yay. No monday blues :)

First time wrking mrning in this bay :)

My first time shld be 16th to 20th jan, bt i was at enculturation. Thus, miss my turn for opening. Wasted! Haaaaa.

Anyway, i came super early today, reach at 615.

I tidy up the documentation at parents corner, change song chart, put materials at practical life skills corner and clean off dust :)

Quite lucky tt first child came at 715.

So frm 7 to 715, i am quite relaxed :p

Anyway, more n more childen came in aft 8am.

Thnk goodness that tahirah manage te children :) she was alone handling the chn while i open the door frm 730-9!!

Hajar suppose come at 830, bt her timing was changed to only 9 and komathi timing changed too, to 930. Timing change as tcr cheng cheng is on mc. Hmmmmm.

We kind of split group at 10 since komathi only came at 930.

Frm 930-10, i was teaching te chn the extended song of "ten little fingers". Hahahahaha.

At 10am, we were supposed to go outdoor. Bt we didnt since it's raining.

I did my hands on activities instead.

Igt the childen to peg the photos using clothespin :)

Komathi was quite irritating.

She say she shld conduct other lessons since i m using the tray of clothespin and photos.

I told her she can do te same activity since i prepared two trays.

Haissss.

Wonder how she survive if she has a class of her own since she doesnt prepare materials for lesson.

Anyway, shldnt comment too much on others. I must keep an eye on myself, make sure i do my things :):)

Went out for bubble tea wif hirah and hajar. At least a breather :):)

When we are back, ms rai had a meeting.

She wanted me to come out with a template of parents' details (monthly household income, no of chn in family, highest education qualification ).

I am suppose to complete it by tmr and pass to te rest of te tcrs so tt they can fill it up n complete their class parents profile by nxt mon!!!

It seems like an easy task,

Bt to come out with a template, whereby simply ticking one item of the profile should help collate in total, is nt tt easy afterall.

I m still thinking of a way :)

As usual, ms rai meeting had delayed te children's waking time.

They woke up at near to 330?

Then had high tea and diapering..

And there's enrichment classfor k1. It was a little chaotic at 430 as hirah still changing diapers for her todd and so her other todd are left alone outside.

Wu lao shi is having class with 6 chn?

So komathi is handling 12 chn plus todd.

Plus the door bell is ringing, parents are fetching chn.

So i helped in sending chn off.

And without me knowing, its alrdy 5pm.

Hahahaha. I m supposed to knock off at 430pm :p

Jus when i was about to leave, enrichment tcr jus had to approach me to say one of the k1s are not in her list.

I checked with ms rai and val.

In conclusion, the chn is indeed did t enroll in te enrichment class n thus, i am supposed to gt tt child out of mpr room to b fair to enrichment clasa tcr.

Aiyoooo.

Sch simple task takes time too. To walk frm mpr room to office (to check wif ms rai) and back to mpr room (togt bk to enrichment tcr) alrdy take up 5-10 min of my time.

Haiyoooo.

I finally left in a hurry.

If i stay further, i am sure i wldnt be able to leave any sooner. Hahahahaha.

Its a fast fast mondayyyy.

Min

Loooooooooong day wif lots of things!!

I manage to handle my group of chn frm 930-10.

I show them photographs of them eating, reading books and playing manipulative.

I told them the transition between eating shower n nap.

Heeeee.

Hope it wrks :)

It did wrk, i guess?

Though i m still nt perfect in handling chn during transition.

But at least i manage to settle chn down to read books, go shower, come back sit on chair to play manipulative.

And i did take temperature for all children before they had their nap :):)

N we did home science frm ard 1015 to 11.

We skip outdoor today :x

But still, i find the home science meaningful.

Quite an achievement to me when all of them are engaged in mashing banana n putting raisins in it and making it into banana balls.

During childen nap time, i washed the bowls.

Sigh, as usual, komathi went out. Today the excuse was to buy coupon as she drive to wrk today.

Goshhhh. She and her 101 excuses!

Anyway, i helped do up parents corner. Hajar was Supposed to be in charge but she was on mc again today.

Poor her..

And.....!!!!!!

At 645pm, aft kathleen and cayla left, I notice tt xavier had overflow!

And jus nice xavier's parents were outside! Oh no!!!!

I get adia, amber to go to toilet with me as i changed xavier.

When i m out of toilet, i see all their parents outside.

Adia mum, amber dad! Hahahaha.

Luckily kathleen and cayla had left earlier.

If nt, i wld take more chn to the toilet wif me, jus to change xavier.

Looooooong day jus ended!

Tired!

Somehow feel i m nt productive today as i did not put up my fine motor stuff. And manipulative stuff!

But on a positive note, i was nt as productive as more things are popping up; dishes to wash aft home sciene and parents corner and i need to call parents(shazly as he injured leg ytd during enrichment class, joe as mum ask about face injury, xinrong as she left her mattress in class, wanxuan as she left her jacket in class).

Overall, i did my best :)

Min

Without my motivation (hirah n hajar)

Tahirah n hajar on mc..

I decided to let chn have water play instead of sand play today.

Because half the group of chn(4-5) can play with water while the other half(4-5) can use bruhes to dip in water to paint the walls. Related to water.

We will do sand play nxt wk.

Since one of the art n craft actvity nxt wk is sand art.

So... It is more related and relevant to swap the sand play and water play for this wk n nxt wk.

Its my first time doing water play.

Preparation wise was alright. But i do feel bad to leave the class with komathi while i prepare..

N...

I brought my group out to play first while her group stayed inside class.

Then.. We swapped.

And i actually expected her to clean up aft use.

But no! She did nt.

I Casually asked "eh? U nvr pack up?".

And there she goes with the "oh ya. i wanted to........."

Sigh.

So i did the cleaning up!

Anyway, it was chaotic aft lunch.

Chn are suppose to sit at lib corner while komathi call them one by one to shower. And those who had finished showering will play manipulative while i take temp and gt them to lie down on mattress.

But somehow this is nt possible today.

Usually i will take temp n hajar will help me settle the chn on the mattress.

But today she is on mc.

So no one to help me settle chn on mattress.

I am te one doing it.

And i gt nt enough time to take temperature.

Did it while they were on mattress.

Nap time wasnt productive as well.

Prepare for tmr home science lesson.

Hmmm, and washed the toys used in water play. And clean the apron and the water play equipment.

And helped clean up dramatic corner as todd play and chengcheng didnt really knw hw to pack up. Hmmmm.

N oh yes, i printed out photos of chn doing activities tgt(for my lesson nxt week)

Still, i feel tt i am Nt productive today.

Chn wake up.

Jin cheng fever.

Mingxuan vomit.

Aiyooooo :(

So so messy at 5pm when komathi left.

Me and chengcheng were the only tcrs left.

With todd and pg alrdy 20, we stil have k1 and k2 (which tcr didnt nt bring over to te other bay. Hmmmmm).

There is miscomm btw val and te tcrs at te other bay, luckily nurul asked. Id nt waheadah wldnt knw she nd ot till 7, and there will b no tcr doing closing at the other bay. Haiyo.

Min

Things were much settled except outdoor walk.

Chaotic outdoor walk

Today, things seems to be More systematic.

Chn knws hw to go lib corner aft lunch while waiting to be called for shower.

Chn will play manipulative aft shower. Aft which, take temp n go to slp.

Pg Chn were sitting dwn drinking water, playing at fine motor n discovery corner at 5pm while todd chn were playing at block corner. Things were much in control..

Really appreciative tt tcr hajar is here to help meeeeeee :)

Min

TOO LOUD? Hmmmmm

Tiring tiring day.

Ms rai Mention About chn being loud. N say te tcrs might be the cause of it.

Hmmmm.

I shld learn to lower my voice. Jiayou tcr huimin, way to go.....

Anddddd.

There are 14 playgroup and 6 toddler at 5pm.

But there's only me n tcr hajar!

Ahhhhhh!!

Its a struggle when either of us send chn home :(

Sigh..

And at 5pm, there is enrichment class for the k2!

Sighhhh..

So we are quite restricted with space.

Thk goodness hajar put some chn in the mpr room to read books :)

Wasnt very productive today

Mark schnet.

Called amber mum to ask abt medication timing.

Called zachary mum to asl her collect portfolio.

Called mingxuan dad to update him about mingxuan in sch, to assure him tt everything is fine :)

Nth much.

Oh yes, I photocopied tracking list n health check list:)

Hmmmm.

Feel tt i m nt in control of the class. Sigh:(:(

Hope this bad feeling will go away sooooooon.

Min

Reporters came..

Reporter came today.

But board of directors did nt.

Still, today is a great dayyyy.

We went outdoor..

And i changed the transition between lunch and showering.

It used to be:chn who finished lunch will play manipulative while waiting for shower. Aft shower, chn will go library corner to read books. BUT this way, tcr had to clear dining table fast to make space for manipluative activities.

So.... Today, i decided to gt chn who finished lunch to be at library corner while waiting for shower.

And when chn finish shower, they can play manipulative.

This way, tcr will have time to sweep and mop floor, yet have control of chn while they are in library corner.

Will try this way for the rest of the week.

Hope it wrks well :)

N i updated the log book :)

And.....

Nth much to do today.

So me n hirah went out to buy bubble tea n waffle. To reward ourselves for our hard wrk as well (for the past few weeks).

Anddddddd.

Today when i do closing.

Auntie told me there is one Pants left in toilet -.-!

N its komathi who did showering n diapering today.

I checked wif her aft wrk,

Lucky she knw who tt pants belongs to :)

It's jin cheng pants :):)

And i manage the chn well when i am alone from 630-7:)

My first time doing closing alone in this bayyyyy.

Nt tt bad afterall :)

Hope the rest of the days of the week will be as well :)

Min

Shld i take mc?

Nt feeling very well today.

And i went through photos of childrn family with them todayyyy.

Not very effective.

Rayden and heiirishaa keep running away :(

Isaac and alan wonder off at times too.

I only have julian n zu yao with me :(

(mingxuan n shermaine are absent today)

Ms rai commented about our dramatic corner once again.

She say nt print rich enough(bt that because our wordings are nt up yet as tahirah jus printed it out ytd, and this mrning we didnt have time to paste it.Oooooops)

Anddddddd so.

This is what i aim to do:

-wrap the clothes stand,

-add clothes and prints

-arranging photos for her home science

-put up bdae chart

-display paper bag puppet and captions

End up.

I feel inbalance.

This nasty tot of mine keep haunting me; "why do i need to stay back and complete all these things which seems like minor things (but actually it is quite time consuming) while komathi can go home on time, assuming her stuff is done -.-!"

And so..

I see a doctor during nap time, and take mc.

I manage to display paper bag puppet and captions, as well as put up bdae chart before i left.

Heard frm hirah tt komathi helped :):)

Haaaa. Tts bcuz i mc.

If i stayed, i guess it will b me wrapping the clothes stand, adding clothes and prints and arranging photos for her home science la!!

Anyway, environment done.

Jus hope everything will be fine on mondayyyyyyy.

Reporter coming. Omgomg!!

Min

Ms rai observe me for lesson!!

I manage to wrap shoe box for display for puppets :)

Well done...

And i had printed captions for home science.

Sigh, komathi wrk reallycant make it.

So i redo for her!!!!

Ms rai observe how i conduct my lesson today.

It was hands on activity; transferring from container to container..

It was alright. Just tt rayden was not concentrating well today :(

Ms rai commented about our dramatic corner.

Tcr cheng cheng will redo the "home sweet home" signage.

Sigh, there goes my hardwork :(

(but i had to admit, cheng cheng work is much nicer than mine!)

And she mention tt we shld have more metal stuff as it is a lot of plastic stuff nw.

She also say we shld wrap the "wardrobe".

It raining so heavily in the aftnn.

Bt i still went out to buy metal stuff and aluminium foil to wrap the "wardrobe".

I gt no time in te aftnn to do up my bdae chart!

Ahhhhhh!!!

I borrowed blocks frm the other bay, to Hold the toilet roll so tt my paper bay puppet wldnt drop off easily.

Sooo tired when i reach home.

Had been slping late last few nights.

Tonight, i decided to spend time with mum by watching tveeeee. N i slpt early at 1030pm :)
