Confessions of a pre school teacher.

Another batch of Kindergarten 2s are on their way to Primary One. Another batch of Kindergarten 2s are entering Primary school life.
It was a tearful farewell.
There was tears and hugs all around. Children and teachers alike was sobbing uncontrollably. Teachers trying to pacify and console those children who were bawling their eyes out.

Picture the scene.

Red noses. Tears flowing. Hugs all around.

And it all happened twice.

That's the scenario at PCF J.B.

I said goodbye to my bf, Muhd Riyadh and my heart just broke. Tears just flowed uncontrollably even though i tried so very hard to control my tears. My student were looking at me with anxiously but i ignored them. I was trying to control my emotions. But i just can't. It just felt soo wrong. It felt like i was left all alone by the person that i loved so very much.

Sounds like a love story aint it?

Muhd Riyadh gave me a huge box of ferrero rocher. He came over and hid the box behind his back. But his petite body was a give away. I saw the box and i just started smiling. We hugged and kissed. =p

On the cheeks. Muack. Muack.

*giggles*

Shantel came over and gave me a nice pen. I dont intend to use it at all.

Firdaus came over and gave me a box of cookies.

I was very very touched when i received all those presents from them.

Mind you, im not their teacher. But i received gifts as a token of thanks. My heart melts. Just like those yummylicious marshmellows dipped in chocolate that melts in my mouth.

I used to relief the K2s so im also very attached to them. Including the fact that i always dropped in the K2 class everytime im bored. So there.
My prayers and wishes goes out to the K2s who will be entering primary school. All the best kiddos!!

The awaited announcement is out.

Im taking K2 next year.

Will i bawl my eyes out at the end of 2007?

Only time will tell.

For now, my K1s are already too attached to me. I made them think that i wasnt their teacher next year and there was sad faces and sighs all around. Oh well, let them find out next year!

This isnt sumting to boast about but i know my students love me.

Everyday, i received countless hugs from them. They told me everyday that they loved me. One even said that she wanted to marry me if she was a boy. Oh gosh.

That's a lil too extreme.

But im thankful that im accepted by the students and their parents as well.

Next year, im one hell of a busy woman. Ryte now, school has ended but teachers still have to come back to work and prepare lesson plans and to set up learning corners.

Teachers are not babysitters and that is sumting that gets miscontrude most of the time. We are educators.

What made me be a teacher?

Well, its mainly coz of these reasons..


And it still is a cool job. The satisfaction you get when ur students understand what you have taught is just undescribable. The satisfaction you get when your students enjoys playing at the learning corners you set up is also overwhelming. It all means one thing.

That your efforts have not gone to waste!

Teachers are not just authoritative figure in a child's life. My perception of teacher is just not to teach but to be their friend. I put myself in a child's level when i play with them. I was told that im a child myself. Me & my students have this handshake that we came up with. Every morning and before i released the class, we would do our handshake. Its fun to get to the child's level and just play with them. But sometimes its not all sunshine. Im serious when it comes to teaching and reasoning. I will put up a NO NONSENSE attitude when its lesson time.

Next year, it will be my turn to mould my K1s to a better students and let them succeed and proceed to K2. I wonder if i will cry. I wonder if i will miss them.

*sigh*

I miss him already. My bf. Muhd Riyadh.
