Dear
Diary,
One
maxi was waiting to pull off. As soon as I got in six Georgian students came
walking down. A lot of latecomers were entering the hall that other morning and
the time for this gathering took a very long time to finish. I did not see Miss
Roberts’ name in the register when I got back to the office from my first
class. She had 2F that morning and the 5s right after recess.
I
got the music room opened and had the bag Mr Baachu gave me. I had a while to
wait in the front of the classroom because the students take more than too much
time to get to class. I realised that it was a restless call but worse than 1F
and 1L. I reviewed the topics that they were introduced to me and asked if they
were once students of Miss Paul’s.
When
they said yes it confirmed my thought. I noticed that the dots lesson was
missing so immediately I took out my form one handbook and began whipping up
the lesson from the top of my head. I did not have the teaching notes I had
made for the dots lesson so I made questions on the spot too. I knew they would
not have the red Eric Taylor (Grade 1) book. We had spent double periods on
that lesson and I corrected their exercises for the students.
When
recess concluded, the Form 5 students came. Not all were present. I think a
girl and one boy were missing. I spent the whole double period training one of
the steelpan girls. She had a grade three-piece that I helped her with first.
We were able to complete one section in four measures that day. She was also
working on the piece “Chinese Dragon Appearance” that I did for my Grade 2
exam.
There
was a boy playing the violin and he was all right with the piece. It was the
first time I knew that the violin could do double pitches. I was excited and
amazed. To Form 1 gentleman came to do the make-up exam for Test #2. I graded
both papers in the music room and transferred the marks to my mark sheet upon
my return to the office. Praise God there was not too much noise in the music
room this lunchtime. Miss St Louis and Miss Daniels got their invitations for
the Lip-Sing Assignment.
