i'm back after a month plus of not blogging.. i'm currently taking a month and a half unpaid leave from work to focus on my practicum (which if i don't complete, i can't graduate)..

so how is it so far?

well, not bad.. i'm doing it at Hijrah Kindergarten along Jalan Singa, which is like a few bus stops away from home.. better still, i start work at 11am and i knock off at 5pm.. can i ask for more? hahaha..

and the kids? well, they can be a rowdy bunch and make your darah naik, but they certainly know how to make up for it..

i'm taking 2 classes.. the first session, from 11am to 2pm, are my K1s and the second session, from 2pm to 5pm, are my K2s.. i don't really have a large class.. mainly an average of 8 pupils per class..

and the children banyak kerenah.. for my K1s, one of them, Nabil, says the weirdest things.. Fikri loves to throw crayons all over the floor when i'm not looking and when i scream at him to pick it up, he pretends to be all innocent and points fingers to everyone but himself.. Umaira is very smart but doesn't pay attention when i'm teaching and she loves to climb the side of the staircase.. the rest are ok in general..

the K2s? Ain is smart and very matured.. she doesn't like to play like the others and she just likes to study (how i wish everyone is like her).. Aidinil is very hyperactive.. he can't sit still in his seat for more than 5 minutes.. he is smart but super lazy.. everytime i tell them to do work, he'll say "teacher, penat lah teacher".. but, if you let them play in the playground, he'll be the first to run out..

i finally understand how difficult it is to be a good teacher and the responsibility that you have to shoulder as one but if ur asking me if i regret pursuing to be a kindergarten teacher, i'd say no.. cos the satisfaction to see them learn something new everyday and also their keletah can make up for all the tiredness u feel at the end of the day.. :)
