Future plans??

I came earlier at 920 to prepare materials for home science activity.

Anddddddd..Sadddd.
Wu lao shi is on leave today.
And val is at office bay.
Which means there's no k2 tcr except for caleb. Bt cannot leave caleb alone.
Sooooo. Hajar was asked to help k2.

We Didnt go outdoor today. Did home science instead. Get the children to do mouth with teeth using apple wedges and mashmallow. Hehehee.



Soon. It's lunch time, followed by showering time.
Today, i was alone outside reading books, putting mattress cover and taking temperature.
And i did it;) proud of myself.

Nxt week, it will b my turn to do showering. Hope komathi can handle the situation outside like i do :)

Anyway, chn nap time is te best time.
Get to relax a bit (at least for now.. Since nxt week we shld be busy setting up corners for term 2 during chn nap time..)

Andddd. Ms rai needed help wif her powerpoint slides for her presentation.
I helped her with it.

While helping her out, ms rai asked me abt my preparation for IELTS n o lvl exam.
Frm then i realise tt company only sponsored IELTS exam once ( i always thought its twice.)
Gosh. I wanted to take IELTS exam in april.. Bt nw, i better rethink since its only sponsored once!!

We somehow also talk about university.
I asked if she wld recommend uniSIM or Monash University. She said uniSIM.
She asked me to try Wheelock Collage:)
I was talking to her about degree in early childhood and degree in early childhood with management and diploma in leadership..
She asked me to check if obtaining a degree in early childhood with management wld allow me to be exempted frm taking diploma in leadership or not, because frm what she knows, only ppl frm Ngee Ann Poly can be exempted.
If me taking degree in early childhood with management doesnt allow me to be exempted frm diploma in leadership, i shld jus take a degree in early childhood which wld take shorter time since i eventually wld still need to take diploma in early childhood if i wanna climb up the ladder.

Hmmmm.
Something for me to ponder on over the weekends:)

Komathi really mati.. Hopeless partner i gt!

Outdoor walk was disaster!
Komathi walked in front as my group wore shoes ltr as i changed zuyao(he pass motion).
Komathi walked like bullet train. Tsk. I hate her! She cant slow down to talk to chn abt surroundings le! Bt she can slowly go lunch, slowly go toilet, slowly do her things. Bt when it comes to walking, she must rush. I dun uds why sia!

N i m proud of myself when komathi shower..
I lay mattress, read books to them, take temperature :)
Its very systematic :) i m in total control. Very managable...

N Feel lik slapping komathi.
Jus decided to glue her butt on the floor nxt to julian and alan! Tsk, alan can easily slp pls! And julian, jus need some patting n can slp alrdy.
Bt she always nvr pat. Jus sit there n txt. Pat aft a while... Of course la, if pat too early, julian wld slp early n she wld nd help pat other chn. No wonder pat julian so late.

She still can tell me "julian is amaze wif the lights. Bt will slp aft patting. Lik ytd, i ask him nt to face te lights". Tsk. I m the one patting julian to slp ytd pls! Tsk!!!!!!

Its amber bdae celebration today:)
Yay!!

After amber left, its almost 430.
Sooooo.. Tahirah vivian left too.

Todd were under hajar care.

At 5pm, ryan frm nusery pee in his pants.. I kindly ask komathi to go the other bay to gt ryan back before she knocks off.
She kindly offered to change ryan :) at the same time, sherman spill water on his pants and komathi changed him as well:)
I m grateful for tt. If komathi had nt stayed to help me change them, i wld need to do so. N tt means hajar need to oversee 8 todd n 12 playgroup.
Lucky komathi helped:)
She left at abt 515pm.

I gt pg chn to drink water.
Once they finish their water, they are allowed to play the feelings mask :)

Hajar gt the todd to drink water m they are allowed to play manipulative once they finish drinking water.

At 6pm, i m left with 5pg and 5 todd,
I gt the chn to keep wat they are playing n gather tgt.
I read story to them :)

One by one, they left.
Adia and xavier were the last two left at 645;)

Phew:)
Its a fast dayyy.

I took the same bus as hajar.
Was discussing abt dramatic corner.

Thinking of Doing butterfly and other animals using crepe paper, since our objective for this week lesson is on tearing of paper. So chn can tear n paste on the insect template :p

Weeeeeeeeeeeeek 10 of term 1.

We went outdoor today.
I walked in front :)
We went to pick up leaves n twigs to decorate dramatic corner for term 2.
It was quite chaotic, idk why.
Chn jus cldnt walk in twos :(





Anyway.
When komathi was doing showering, i read two books to te chn.
Then i gt those chn who have nt showered to sit around a table and read books, while i gt those who had showered to take their mattress cover n come to me for tenperature taking.
It was a success.
The chn were well managed by me tt even nurul commented tt my class was peaceful when she steps in our bay at abt 12pm :)
Heeeeeee.

I was productive during chn nap time.
I mark schnet, update log book, Put up dramatic corner for term 1 (since it was removed last fri as there were suspected case of hfmd. End up its nt hfmd. So need to put bk the term 1 dramatic corner).
I even gt time to go out wif vivian to buy curry puff.
Heheeeee :)

And and Cayla pass motion in toilet bowl! Wheeeeee :)

After high tea, komathi did temperature taking. She pointed out tt Alan had 2 ucler in mouth. So i Called grandma and ask her to bring him home.

Wu lao shi took my group for lesson at abt 415..
Then i was assisting her while overseeing komathi group (who was at discovery corner and table playing fine motor activities).

Then i take photo of lao shi coducting lesson.

N i saw hirah n vivian playing ball wif todd.
So i went over take photos.

Then komathi left her group alone n come take photo of the todds too.

Idoit or wat?
My group was taken care of by wu lao shi, tts why ican leave.

She wana take photo, can! Bt at least ask me or what to take care of chn ma.

I think at tt point hajar was in toilet chnaging someone.
So really leh. No one looking aft her group. N me n her taking photo of ur todd.

End up i fed up, l go her group to oversee while she continue taking photos of todd
-.-!

fadilah came at 515 lik tt. She say she is helping us till 6.
Happyyyyyyyy tt we had extra help.
(for the past two days, its jus me n hajar looking aft chn aft 5)

Anyway, lucky fadilah helped.
Cuz Yaozhu n Joe pass urine on floor right outside toilet bowl. And at tt point in time, jus nice shermaine isaac julian is going home.

It wld be messy if there's only me n hajar. Sooooo.. Lucky tt fadilah is here to help :)

At 6pm, fadilah knock off.
Bt she stayed for a little while till 610pm :)

At 630, zu yao amber cayla kathleen parents all came at the same time.

Scolding frm parents when its nt my fault

Went outdoor today.
I walked in front :)
Talk a lot to the chn.
And komathi is damn irritating. She keep looking at her time and asking me to speed up. How ironic. When she is in front, i keep asking her to slow down. Hahahaha.

Anyway, time pass quickly when chn had lunch n komathi shower them while i lay mattress cover n take temp.
Its a gd idea to let my group of chn slp at a side (manipulative corner) while her group of chn slp at another(discovery corner) and todd slp at library corner.
It seems easier to lay mattress.
N nt much movement frm todd to move to slping area as compared to the past where todd slp at manipluative corner n had to pass by pgs at the discovery corner.

When chn are aslp, me n hirah discuss abt term2 dramatic corner.

Me n hirah txt ms Rai to clarify some matter; whether our dramatic corner to be term 1's or term 2's since eds is coming nxt wed which is term 1 revison week.

Anyway. It was soooooooo quitet frm415-5 when abt half the class went for Enrichment class. so me and komathi were left with 1/4 of the class each.

Similiarly, it was sooooooo Chaotic when enrichment class end at 5 and komathi go hm at 5 and i suddenly have full strength of chn by myself.

Anyway, there is Biting case again :(
Shannon bite adia again :(

Cayla was the last one to leave.
N she left at 645 650 like tt.
So happy leh..

Then.......
The other bay left sharlinie and bakari!!
Sooooo.
We search the file n called the grandpa at 655!
At tt time hajar was abt to leave, bt she help me make the phone callfirst befre gg hm cuz grandpa only speak malay..

Grandpa say mum otw. Ask us wait.

Then at 715, mum stil nt here.
So i called grandpa.
I speak in eng. grandpa speak in malay.
Bt he tried his best to say mum otw n ask us wait.

At 725, mum finally come!

And once she enter the centre, she scold me n wu lao shi.
Say "why u allcall my father in law? Anything call me la. Nw my father in law scold me leh. I knw i late, bt u all can wait wat"

Fed up sia!
Nvr apologise! Still blame us :(



Its overall a gd day. Bt it ended badly :/

3 biting cases!!

Komathi n tahirah both on leave.

Before the day started, i tot to myself "awwww. Its gonna be a bad bad day".
But guess i was wrong at the end of the day.
It was nt a bad day afterall.

We didnt gt to go outdoor, of course since we are down by two staff.

I manage to split my class into 4groups.
Frm 10-11, i manage to do hands on activities (tearing of paper) with 3 groups while the other groups rotate among manipulative and discovery corner..

At 11, its lunch time :) then, its showering whereby hajar helped to take temperature outside.
Wu lao shi came at abt 1215 to helped out; lay mattress.

Then we prepare the chn for nap.
Lao shi went over the other bay to gt stuff, leaving me n hajar to pat the chn to slp.
By the time lao shi come back, chn are alrdy all aslp..

Anyway, At 245, lao shi wanted togo the other bay again. This time, her reason is she wanted to shower. She says she will be back by 3 when the chn wake up.

But at 3! Lao shi is still not back yet.
Still, me hajar n vivian wake the chn up.

Hajar n vivian were busy wif todd.
So i quickly settled my pg on the table and gt hajar to look aft a while while i change diapers for the pg.

At 315, lao shi finally came and helped; she helped serve te high tea.

I took temperature of chn while she assist those chn who need help in finishing up their food.

It gt quite messy and a little out of hand.
I stop temperature taking and gt the chn to sit on the chairs; after i split them into groups(like the morning arrangement).

Lao shi took one group for her lesson while i take the last group for my hands on activities. The remaining two groups were left to read books.

When i m ready with the last group for hands on activities, it's almost 5. And lao shi completed her chinese lesson too.

She went over to the other bay, leaving me and hajar with 15pg and 7todd.
Hw great.

I gt the chn to pack up and gt them to drink water.

Then i was all the way busy sending children off!!!

And..
When almost half of the group of chn finish their water, i gather the chn and read a book "mouse paint" to them.
It did interest them especially when i gt the colour mixer out and they gt to explore ;)

Sooooon enough, its 630.
Hajar left to buy fish..

I m only left with
Cayla
Adia
Zu yao
:)

Coolness.
Its a fast dayyyy.

Surprisingly zu yao was the last to leave today. At 650pm :)

I washed the apron (which hajar get the todd to wear since they did painting) and its alrdy 7pm.

Time to knock off,
Wheeeeeee.

Its a managable day:)
Small group teaching helps a lot ;)

Oh yes oh yes.
Shannon bite adia, yen wei n jia chen today.
Sad tt i was doing closing n had to do the explaination -.-!

Still, glad tt those parents are still uderstanding n didt wana pursue the matter.

It's fridayyyyyy

Yay. We Went outdoor today.
I wanted to walk infront.
But jus when we were abt to wash hands and go out to wear shoe, zu yao pass motion.
I had to change him.
By the time i was out frm toilet, komathi alrdy gt all her chn ready with their shoes on.
I then gt my children to put on their shoes.
Jus like this, komathi walked in front today.
I stil dislike the way she walk so quickly.
(i dont uds why she does everything slowly-showering, eating. Dilly dally. But when it comes to outdoor walk, she jus have to speed up as though she is rushing for time -.-! )

Anyway. Outdoor is still not tt bad today as toddlers were in front.
Bcuz hirah is explaining things to the toddlers, she kind of slow the pg :)
Which is a good thing..
As i have time to explain to my chn abt their surroundings too.
So lucky tt we are nt walking in front of the toddlers ;)

Chengcheng cant take it. Komathi came late today at 720 instead of 7. And she doesnt help much while doing opening with chengcheng. Komathi keep gng toilet, talk to other tcrs at the door when chengcheng is managing the chn alone :(
She cldnt take it anymore, guess she Wana complain to ms rai abt komathi soon.

Anyway, wasnt very productive during children naptime.
Guess its friday. Tts why in slacking mode.

Anyway, i manage to Take photo of term 3 lessons.
How fast?:p

And i manage to introduce to the chn abt the feelings mask.
They were able to express the five emotions; happy, sad, angry, tired and silly.
Heeeee.

A great sense of achievement :):)
