Thanks to the PSLE oral examinations I do not have to plan lessons and conduct lessons for 2 days! Yipee! It's really tiring my mind and using a lot of my brain cells when it comes to planning a lesson. Especially if the class needs you to make it interesting for them. You may have all the neccessary tools and the wondeful ideas but they may not listen to you. It's a pity when you know that there are some kids who would like to learn but because of other classmates, classes are disrupted because the teachers were trying to control them.
I may end work officially at 115PM when the kids go home but now I'm bringing work home and continue till at least 10PM. Marking is a chore but I kinda love it. I'm not sure if this make sense.
Today we had a staff recreational activities session and had rounds of Captain Ball which was fun. I got to interact with other teachers which I don't normally do due to less interaction when normal working days were going on. You only said the common "Hi" to everyone else because you are rushing for lessons and meetings and plannings.
I have a pile of books and worksheets to mark tomorrow and I guess I will look forward to that!
