Thank god it's Friday! I've started working on Monday back at my attachment centre =]
It's great to be back but it doesn't feel as carefree as my attachment days. I've got heavier responsibilities now and i've gotta write and write lesson plans which i never had to during attachment.
i'm with the N2 class. They're between 3 and 4 year old. There's an Indian boy in my class who is definitely a special needs child but no one knows what disability he is having because his stubborn parents refuse to bring their child for a diagnosis. To us, he seems a lil autistic, a lil dyslexic, a lil ADHD, having speech delay and so on. Therefore, it is really really tough for us and definitely for the boy himself.
Can you imagine one day when you suddenly lose the ability to express thoughts into words or actions, no one understands what you want or need? Worse still, you don't understand others words or body language. Yeah that's what he's facing.My Chang Jie is very cute!!! He doesn't wear underwear under his shorts so i asked him where his underwear was. He said that he doesn't wear it because it makes him feel warm. With his soft yet high pitched voice, he will come over to me and whisper into my ears "Teacher Tina, I love you"!
Koo Ii and Alassandra's England very the powderful. They surprise me everyday with their wide variety of vocabulary for a 3 year old children. Their grammar and tenses are used correctly! 3 years old using past tense and past participle in perfection!!!
Alassndra: Teacher Tina, can you tell Long Lao Shi to stir the milk powder properly because I don't like to have
RESIDUE in the milk.
A: When I
have FINSHED my
FRENCH TOAST, I need to take
DIMETAPP!!!
(using of past-participle and name of the medicine!!!)However, everyday I need to raise my voice... I want discipline and on the other hand i want to let go but they dunno their limit now.... When I mean business, I want no nonsense. I realise that i can be kinda cold. When the child starts yelling and throws tantrums, I will leave the child alone. I won't bend my knees and comfort the child. I won't.
No matter how much i scold my children, they will always be my sunshine =))Hehehhhhh work aside...this mv below is some sort of like a continuation of a comic-turned-drama, Hana Kimi. I tell you, the lead actor, Wu Zun, is HOT!!! My present eyecandy =))I feel happy everyday cos of my children and him(Wu Zun)!!!
