Glad that the school arranged an extra PE lesson – fitness training for the pupils. At least they can sweat it all out after long long long hours of air-cond in the classroom and in their homes. Parents should at least bring their kids out for a fun time in the park instead of in the shopping mall and just chilling at home. Kids need to do some work out too and they must sweat after that! Too much of comfort in lower temperature places is not good.

Good work out for me too! Hah! Many complained that they were sweating too much and didn’t have the chance to sip in some water. Well, it’s discipline time! Water can be drank five to ten minutes after warm down. Some kids asked for permission to drink water as soon as the instructor started some warm up exercises. Of course the answer was NO. It wouldn’t be a great idea to constantly drink water when we exercise.

The day wrapped up with a positive comment from a girl in my class. She said, “Ms Amy, I love PE classes. I like to exercise.” She sweat so much and yet she enjoyed it. She made up my stressful day.

The classes were down as the electric has tripped. Problem is that there wasn’t any back-up plan. Sigh. It was very hard to conduct the lessons.

Another problem was the orientation that took place, the minutes of the lessons were taken and not much left for teaching. Many learning objectives couldn’t be met. Not my fault. I think it’s ok as everyone is facing the same thing and also that the orientation is crucial for the pupils.

I still somehow couldn’t catch up with the time. 50 minutes or 1 hour is too short!!! >.<” Tomorrow’s objective is to do more written work.

YES I CAN!

Time really flies, by the time everything is settled, it already took up half an hour! I’m way way behind time. Sigh.

Must start to implement some new things in order to get extra full attention from the kids. This brings me the question if kids are willing to do things only there’s reward?

The third day was a good day, maybe because the hours weren’t that long like the first two days. It was also the selection day for PE. I wasn’t prepare for the introduction of the game rules and what not but I was lucky that these details are not any alien to me.

Still catching up the lessons and I know I’m behind time. Hopefully it’ll be all well planned and all well worked out next week.

The reinforcement of rules is very crucial at this point of time and I’m beginning to be more stern. I always wanted to do play up the good but I kept forgetting it over and over again. I’m trying, I’m trying. Hopefully I’ll be successful.

Practice makes perfect!

Lessons will commence tomorrow! I’m feeling more anxious rather than excited. I have fear that pupils would be lost.

*keeping fingers crossed now*

The first day of school was quite new to me as there were many added rules and regulations that I learnt. The orientation was brief, I do not know why. We ended up having so many hours in the classroom. There was a clash during break time and pupils who went to the canteen as the correct time had to go back to the classroom with their food in their hands. I felt bad that I apologised for the miscommunication of time. Luckily these kids are small, at least they’re quite flexible.

I personally think communication is very crucial and the information must travel fast since we’re parted to the different parts of the school. Hopefully there will be improvement in this matter.

I enjoyed the first day of school not because I get to see the kids, but I was very excited to venture the Smartboard in the classroom and when they go ‘Waah!’ or ‘Wowww!’ makes me feel so confident as I get to impress them and their parents if they do report as they see their parents. I admit that I was not quite ready because I took it for granted that more time would be taken in the hall for orientation, so I did not prepare much.

I highlighted the classroom rules over and over again throughout the day. Even though it is an express class, the kids are still very playful and talkative. Well, the coming two days will be a good brush up for them, I hope. I shall keep giving positive reinforcements!

Oh, before I forgot. The team spirit in me today was amazing. At a point of time, it was so natural to me. It’s a good thing to celebrate.

I believe Day #2 will be a much improved day.

Looking forward to Day #2!

Simple things made difficult. It’s hard to believe that some things could not be done without the consideration of time and space. I’m having sleepless nights, shutting my eyes for a few hours just to let the mind and body to rest. Why? Why do you need to force me?

An old man approached and told you that he’s a social worker from an orphanage. They’re in need of money (so they said) and asked you (who have a good heart) to do a good deed by donating. He added that a good deed will be blessed.

Will you donate?

My conscious mind tells me that they won’t go to the streets to beg for money. Somehow I feel that it’s bogus and they’d use the money for others. I always know that a donation in the form of cash or material comes from the heart. I would rather drop by the orphanage to give them the things they need instead of giving to those so called volunteers.

The world is sometimes too good to be true.
