Today After a WEEK of school...

I must confess that I am tired after a week of school . With concert in October , for some it's a long way to go , but for me it's not !!! So here I am with many things in my head . Which should I do first ? Everything ? Well , if I had my way I would do everything at a go ... which could only mean one thing ... that is I have to say put in school and that will not do at all !!!!

Okay first things first , this weekend , I will be resting and celebrating father's day at home , which also reminds me that I have to go and get a cake . The coming week will not be a breeze however I am willing to make next week a good week . The coming weekend will be our much awaited parents day . All I need to do is talk and talk and talk !!! Here comes the best part, for lunch , we the teachers will be going to SHAN'S for lunch . Yum , yum and more yums to come.

Then, my dear student has gone to Bangkok and she will not be back till next week and I will be having a new student ..... arrghhh!!!! but I will prevail .. Then with all of these so called happenings , I will start my concert .

Please wish me luck . I need loads . Really I do ... hu ..hu... hu...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Word Bank

It all started , when I was thinking how I could zest up my class . I was trying to come up with ways .... you know to add more fun in the classroom . Actually the word bank activity has been around for ages . It is just that as teachers, we are sometimes too caught up in our work to spend some time with this activity . It is not new to me and why have I not thought of it before ?


Anyway better late than never right ? So with all the semangat in me , I asked the kids to just write out a word each . it could be anything .. however I had my doubts if they could give me a word . So I did the next best thing . Today we learned about Nouns , I wrote everything down and then I just told them to pick and write the word that they like.

It was time , then , to have our lucky- draw -word- for the day . I called the smallest child in my class. He came up shook the container and he picked the lucky word . I decided to write down the word and to my surprise , they managed to identify the word and they had so much fun . Oh, and the picker gets to glue the word on a manila card .

Surprise , surprise .. well I now have a new best friend and I can't wait to do it again .... it really helps and that really gets the children to spell and say out the word .

Okay you might ask , what is so special about it ? Well , it's not but it sure means a lot to these kids ..

Just so tired

I was so tired and I just need a few winks . The past few days has really been to just tiring . Like today I received a call from a parent saying that my student brought RM20.00 to school . So I went in to the class and I ask him where was the money and he denied 100% saying that he does not know where it is and he did not take it !!!

I told him to tell me truth but he still kept on insisting that he did not take it . Bless this child. As I was about to give up ( cos I was so darn tired ) , another boy said 'it's in his pocket teacher'. Okay busted, found the money and returned it to the mother .

Then I went to see my principal because she now wants me to be involved in the YOUNG LEARNERS CAMBRIDGE --- At this point of typing I can't seem to hold my head up !!!! So with the briefing and time table and planning we will begin soon and , and I have some reading to do , to familiar myself with the components and such , such and much , much more ..............

tHE dAY

Today is the day we started work . I did not dread the day because I knew I was ready . With 2 weeks of rest and all of my insides was shut down , it's time to awaken all of my senses and move ... Yup I like to move it ,move it .

Frankly speaking I can't stand that darn song . So why did I ever use that particular line then ?
School was so swell today , we got some reading done , subtraction done .. although some got lost along the way !!!!!!!!!! But they tried .

We are in the midst of creating this lovely craft . We plan to sell these crafts during our concert and with the money that we raise , it will be donated to charities .
I told my students that they have to do it with love .

Stage one has been completed and we have a few more stages to cover . Let's hope that everything will work out fine .... the art of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly enough I can't show you the finished work here :(

Sleepy

Sleepy cos it's quiet;
Sleepy cos I have nothing to do and think about ;
Sleepy cos tomorrow is a working day;
Sleepy cos I'm penniless;


Sleepy cos I can't touch my toes ;
Sleepy cos the a bee went flying by;
Sleepy cos I'm moody;
Sleepy cos the cat dragged in the trash;

Sleepy cos the next door neighbor roared ;
Sleepy cos I really have nothing to do at all;
Sleepy for I won't be for too long;
As the next day I would be sleepy all over again !!

Made Someone smile Today :)

That is what I like . TO put a smile on someone at least once a day . It's okay too if you can't . Anyway this person was quite stressed up . I don't know why . So I happen to read his thread and thought to myself , why not just try at least to put a smile on this person .


I did and it made me feel nice as well . In fact I was smiling too . What this world need is a lots and lots of smile . Enough of what is going on right now . A smile should do it . Okay here is the deal since I will be going for mass today , I will try to at least smile to those whom I meet . Does not matter weather I know the person or not . My job for today is ;SMILE 101 .

Easier said than done . A smile means a lot . A smile takes your troubles away . A smile means your being ; admired , appreciated , loved and cared .

My dream

I was online in Face Book when my sister went online with me and she asked me this, what are your dreams ?

Now, that is a good question . Well, there many kinds of dreams , but what she meant was what was my plan for the future .

The dream that I have has been a long time dream . At this point I could tell you there is a but coming somewhere along the lines but let's forget but for awhile shall we ?

My dream is a nice one , I have this so called dream of one day standing in front of a crowd doing nothing but lecturing ....

I could say the vision is becoming clearer and clearer and in order for it to become a reality , one must take the right steps . A very brave step . Well , nothing is easy in life right ?

I try to keep my dreams and hopes close to my heart and I know that someday , It will become a reality for me .
