A Message Worth Keeping for a Lifetime

Today was really great with my classes though not all of them were really awesome my conversation class this morning was brilliant. After the class, we had parent's meeting for about fifteen minutes and the feedback was great! We were so happy to hear from them that they were satisfied with how the class is being run and I'm so happy to be a part of this team. I love it! This afternoon, I got a message which is so soul-uplifting and right now I feel so honored to have been a part of this team teaching class. Our Superior DOS said thanks for being a part of the success of our conversation class. A message really worth keeping! Smiles.

I Can Sense a Tough Day Coming

From this day onwards, I can sense a tough day coming and I hope it's gonna be fine for all of us. There has been a lot of changes at school so far and I think I am greatly affected with my early learner classes. I know I have to brace myself on this for I have decided to stay a bit longer than I expected. The most beautiful thing that has happened to me here is that I've learned many things about teaching and not only teaching but 'effective teaching'. That is worth noting so far coz I have been having co-teaching a class these past few months and I have been learning so much from our Superior DOS. He is such a wonderful teacher who knows his craft so well. Now, I have been applying his teaching strategies in my classes and I am so grateful to him. We are getting close buddies coz aside from co-teaching a class, we have the same birthday! Whew! What a coincidence? Smiles. Now, I've found a male teacher buddy! Happy.

So Many Things to Do

There are so many things to do right at this time and I have to always haggle with it every time I am caught up in the midst of two things. I have to meet all deadlines and finish everything before I set off to back home soon. My magic number is dwindling faster than expected now that I why I am trying to work everything out while making the best out of teaching these cute monsters urgh! Smiles. I would surely miss them all. Oh well there is always time to think things over and maybe I'd come back and teach for a shorter time just to see them. These cute monsters make me happy and feel contented in life. They sent me to heaven when they were so great in class I could fly into the clouds like I made it through a hole of needle. Nevertheless, we had bad times though when they would act as complete bastards in the class which made me think to give up on them but NO was the answer for they are so adorable I can't help to let go. As one girl in one of my elementary weekend classes told me once, 'Please teacher, don't give up on us.' She was so sincere when she said it with her friend. She could speak English pretty well and we just talked right after class and it so happened that day was quite a bad time for us. Smiles. After all, what matters most is the happiness I feel within me whenever I see my kids learn and grow with me. These are the things I would smile at and tell to my grandchildren when I grow old. Smiles.
