Dear Diary,
This morning, the
taxi driver was disgusting in his behaviour about my whiteboard. Very loud with me in front of the rest of the passengers. He made me sit
but the door in the front. Praise to God that I can counter compromise. I released
a loud shouting prayer as I walked my way into the compound. I came to Valsayn
today with just a few minutes to go before assembly. Signed and went to the
music room which was closed.
I gave “Aaron”
the mini whiteboard to keep in the room for when the supervisor and Miss Mary
returned to take to their office area. As I was walking out to the guard booth
Miss Robert called me and said that the Form 3s would be coming to the music
room so that I should have my Form 1 class in class that morning. I turned around
and decided to go down to Block K.
I met Miss Mary
in the corridor with Miss “Alicia” about leaving my mini whiteboard from home.
She said that she saw it when I came with it earlier. I went to 2L to meet Miss
Gittens before the roll call. I was telling her about my suggestions for staff meetings
during the fourth and fifth periods. She agreed to do my first of two clinical
supervisions that same morning with 1M. I told her that 1L this afternoon would
be having a test but she said that she had to leave early.
As soon as class
attendance that morning was done, we walked over to wait outside of 1M. Miss
Liba was still taking attendance. The class was fun. We had a review of the previous
topics before the “How Do You Do” game. Everyone was able to participate and the
last two difficult ones were the more fun ones for them. They had the note
copied and after some time the in-class exercise was corrected. I was glad to
see that the students understood it.
As Miss Gittens and
I finished class, I had 1F. They were already out of their classroom and headed
down to the music room. A boy was helping me to take their red books but he
thought my desk was in the music room. I took it from him halfway so he wouldn’t
miss class. I did a review and they were not able to answer. I hope this is not
going to be a trouble-making class as 2F. Shouting was required in the latter
half. I have them the homework and reminder of the test next class.
I began to grade
the work done in their red books thus far but took the second half to the
library during recess to not be late for the monthly staff meeting. I graded
out the rest while holding Miss Gittens’s seat for her to go get breakfast. I
carried my breakfast to the library too. I was able to correct out all the
books from the class and then had my first pie while waiting for the meeting to
start.
We had an
opening prayer. There was a speech from the Principal about “DD” on vacation
and not sure if she might be back. We spoke about in-class assembly on days
when there was RI. Issues with Wi-Fi and no idea when it will be fixed. We
heard that tomorrow would be Parents’ Day for upper school students doing exams
and no shuttle services would be there tomorrow. (No sign of Miss Chote there
too.) We were told that with the Bomb scare, only up to one hundred emails
could have been sent out per hour. Long talk after some of us fell asleep and discussed
students’ achievements.
The meeting
concluded at 1:08 p.m. An hour was given to the teachers for lunch. I went to
the office to get water. I remembered Mr “Marlon” made a joke about me eating
my pie in the library while he sipped his Coca-Cola. I waited with my bag for the
seventh period to begin and then went off to Block K to 1L.
The class was
not supervised. We had about 33 minutes for school time and that same time for
the first test. Praise God it was enough time for the children to finish the entire
paper. I was hoping that all of the students were there. Not sure how many persons
there were to be in class. Miss Laurance came to take a roll during the test. I
was very pleased with most of the answers I saw in their responses. 1F was too
noisy in the other classroom. I heard something bounce on the cardboard.
