Dear Diary,
Today I got to
school just in time. Jess was already there. I needed a while to settle in. When
the time came for class with 2L, she was not there. I met her in 2F and said
that Roberts had taken the music room, so she was going back to the class. The
children were coming in late. They were given a review of ledger lines.
As usual, not
many of them had their orange ABRSM books, so I was asked to go and make
copies. There was a problem that I didn't know how to fix with the prints.
Luckily, Miss Ali was there to assist me. She instead folded the book in half,
and it came out good. Only the name of the topic didn't come out, but that was
fine. When I got back and it was time to share the copies, more students began
to mention that they needed them. I had to go back for a few more sheets.
3M came to meet
us, and Roberts had to use the room still. We had class, and I worked on the
writing for the last lesson in the workbook while we listened to the groups.
Matthew was trying to recreate a melody for his group's song. They used the Curry
Tabanca melody but didn't realise they had to create the melody too. I got the
writing done and then went to breakfast as it was one minute to recess. The
pies were good and had enough pepper today. I was surprised that the front
doors of the school were locked, so I had to go all the way around to wash my
hands first before getting to my table.
At the end of recess,
I went over to the office for the rest of the working day. The fifth and sixth
periods were used to complete the music notation for the last lesson. Also,
Patty brought out the visitor's passes that we were trying to make. She said
that she was able to get the front part of them in the plastic. She found the
other side that I had cut last week, on Wednesday, on the bookshelf and handed
them to me to put in the rest, saying that someone had gone away with number
six. She realised that there was a lot more, but we were out of plastic pockets.
Miss Baka and
Candice were chatting the whole time while out in front of me. "Jan"
and her Form student were in the office. Someone had soaked all of his
clothing. Lunchtime had to pass before his parent came to pick him up. The
student and I spoke about the music alphabet while I worked on the passes. I
went to the hall to enjoy watching Jessie and "Kia" play team table
tennis against Steffon and "EB".
The rest of the
evening was spent by me at the computer working on the punctuality and
regularity file. I was able to work on profiles up to teacher number 30. I
thought that I would be able to work on Korean when I got home, but ended up
doing nothing, sadly. I had a good chat with John instead.
I shared with
him the special experience of meeting with Mr Hanooman and handing over the
booklets that were made for the school. We spoke about his busy work for the
school concert they are planning for Carnival. He said that he would try to
work on the Tacarigua music to get to me, and another one to work on. We also
spoke about George’s and the change from Valsayn back to Barataria, and the
school song that I did for them.
The most I could
have done for the night was download images of the library books to work on the
letter for the church, sometimes this week. It is becoming very exhausting
after getting home from school these evenings. On a brighter note, it was nice
being given a Valentine's gift today with a small pouch of chocolates.
