Year 2

I had to scan through my posts for the past couple of years of teaching. It feels like being in some marathon where I was running and running not being able to catch my breath for a moment. Its just so fast how time is passing. Im a teacher already with 2 years of teaching experience. WOW..

I also noticed how less enthusiastic Ive been this past year. Perhaps its because of all the changes, pressure, and being affected by others behaviors. It was just too much for me to handle on a psychological level. BUT..my students progress was amazing..especially the 2 little princesses G & H..I've seen them grow every single day and I just cant describe how wonderful that feeling is.

Do I want to continue? Yes. I did have second thoughts about everything coz I did reach the point when I've had enough..but being with my students made it worth every moment of despair..the happiness that fills up my world when being surrounded by them always reminds me of how much I love what I'm doing, and I can never leave that behind and walk away..

For the last month, I havent really prepared anything for next year coz last year's preparations were stored somewhere in my shelves. This school is so unpredicatable where everyday or at least every thursday it must end with some surprise..and unpleasant one ofcourse..so I just decided to leave everything on hold until I get into my classroom and meet my students again..whether they'll be the same ones OR I will be expecting a number 7..8..or even 10..everything is possible..

miss you..always..

Hey tinks,

I usually check ur tinks blog and I hadn't seen updates in ages so I assumed you didn't blog. I clicked on your nick today and whadya know, there are new posts :)

Congradz on finishing your second year. I'm so happy to know that G & H have made progress. You should
be proud of yourself for that *pat on the back*.

I'm sorry to hear how your school is still so unpredictable. Maybe the new minister's system will have some effect? I don't know, but I honestly hope things go better for you! Teaching can be so draining..

Hey YOU!!!

I'm actually surprised about not blogging all the time although there had been a lot of action goin on in my classroom last term..but you know how sometimes when there's too much of it you just PAUSE for a while trying to understand things goin on around..I guess thats what happened to me!

Oww you should see those little gurls.. I'm planning to start the a modified KG1 curriculum for H next term and we'll see how it goes!

Unfortunately we're social affairs not education so we're kinda stuck..so im still holding on to whatever hope there is for the BETTER...
