Dear Diary,
Came with one
Georgian student. Full office this morning too. Feeling sic gain but I chose to
ignore it. I went to wait for 2L. Assembly stole my time again. I saw Miss
Gittens after she told me the class was free to go teach them.
After greeting
the children, I handed out the conducting worksheet and gave a small piece of
masking tape to the students. Three pieces were given to each student to stick
on the left side for proper page turning. The solfege and beat divisions were
written on the board to their notebooks and then the conducting exercises
began. Arella a signed for different persons. Each one had to sign over
attendance.
The group
working with the class was not successful. It was noisy but each group was able
to compete individually working with me. Only time will tell if they truly took
the time to practice. The third period came too soon. I went to try and fix the
Form 2 English A exams that Mrs Santana sent to me in the ‘Spec’ room. But the
noise was too much. It was better to do it at home.
I decided to go
and get lunch out of the way. At lunchtime, “Yash” came for music class. I went
through dotted notes and rested first. Wasn’t sure what to do at all with
topics but there was a need to squish the topics because of the time coming up
to the test. He was also not doing his homework so that took up more time.
After lunch, 2M
was not settled in the evening. We tried to do the three-beat conducting. They
were a bit confused with the difference between two and three. We filled in the
solfege syllables and counting pattern. We also reviewed the first verse of the
St. George’s College song. I underlined certain words where the emphasis should
be placed. Seth was in trouble again. Today I felt defeated again. I sat in the
office and felt like quitting.
