Teachers Day

P said cannot give gifts. Kids gave other stuff. Big vanguard sheet of appreciation from one of the groups in my class. Another drawing paper of appreciation from 2 students and a few cards. The kids in my class are very obedient. I can't say the same for others. It was from my PE class I received red pens, nice lil chocolates (almond rocas, toberone, hershey's kisses, and nestle cookies and cream) and chocolate cake. It was from the PSG (Parent Support Group) I received a yummy butter muffin, sweets and Milo Chocolate.

The mini-concert was less than impressive, but the beauty of it is to see the Primary One performers being able to be disciplined enough to even TRY to perform a dance on stage. That was touching and showed the hard work that has been put in to put up a decent performance. The simplicity in the performances. That much, I appreciate. Other than that, I was suffering at the back of the hall; sneezing non-stop into my already crumpled and wet piece of tissue, trying to manage my collection of cards, vanguard sheet, drawing paper, along with the stack of exam papers I had just gone through with my pupils before the concert, a single uncapped red pen and the huge cup of green tea, all with two hands and a small space under my chair. That was uncomfortable. And that happened during my hour long free period, which I would appreciate having to do my own stuff.

Ah well. THe best part of Teachers Day must be the break yesterday. Oh, I must mention that 20 over ex students came back to see me. That was a nice reunion. :) Back to work tomorrow, then Friday, then I am going to chill for the next week.
