Dear Diary,
Came in the maxi
with two Georgian girls to Valsayn. The cold in me was very strong while
walking in. No one was in the office as usual. I went to the music room and I
had the date set on the board. Some of the children took late to come and the same
as the long assembly. I had a review of
the Grade 2 time signatures with 2M. Exercises 1-2 were given for homework at
the end of the session, along with a Minim note tree.
I had 1L afterwards
for the second of three double periods. The number of students was not too
much. They did not get the treble clefs to draw for homework. So, I had them
draw one line off treble clefs before copying the note. It gave me some time to
pass around the room and check their manuscript books.
The children seemed
to enjoy the lesson. We had notes and values today and with the call and
response exercise (How Do You Do?). Miss Roberts wanted me to have the students
use two fingers to clap instead because her lesson was affected by the coffin
box. Towards the end of the session, we corrected the lesson and the children
went to their recess.
After recess, I
decided to go to 2F and teach them in class. At the end of the double period, the
current went and came and then went a second time for a long while. The
children were excited when it went. I stayed back with “Varry” to help him understand
the time signatures. I had him try the rest of exercise three on his own.
During lunchtime,
I limed with some of the teachers by the entrance of Block K. Mr “Marlon” made
a joke about himself being scared. Had to wait for the rain to wase down. I
went to sit by my desk and wait while filling out my teaching log. I did not
see “Yash” come for his session today. Maybe because there was no current, he thought
we were not having class again? They had a crisis management meeting going on
in the Vice Principal’s office.
Daddy called me to
see if I was coming back home early because I didn’t have class for the
remainder of the evening. Janice was busy to get her umbrella and bag and walk
out the door. Crystal left early too. I went to the kitchen sometime after the electricity
returned to have lunch during the late half of the seventh period. I think I
heated the food too much and it burned me but it was good. (2L girl again was
in trouble) while Miss Patel went back and forth to teach her class and see
about the matter.
I got some of my
teaching logs printed. I also experienced the first day without “DD” in the
office as many others. I got some Teacher’s Logs Forms that I printed. Some were
printed upside down on the reversed side. We went by Isa to get the forms
printed. From five in the evening to 11:48 that night, it took me to complete
attendance for all of September for all Form 1s and Form 2s. I was very tired
after that process.
