View from a Teacher's Table...

It's been four days now since classes have started. I can't wait to go home! It felt like I've been staying in school for two weeks now! This year, I've been "tapped" to handle grade one students on my own. Teacher Vivian (my ever beloved partner and teacher) can't be with me anymore since his son, Javi is already in Grade 1. So, for four days now, I've been doing it on my own. I thought it would be easy and I thought I could easily handle the little guys (they showed me good attitude during orientation), but it didn't stop there.

Let me introduce to you some of my students:

Javi - Teacher Vivian's son, very cute and intelligent

Joshua - One of my co-teacher's son (he's quite nice but he's talk-active!)

Jirhael - another colleague's son

Cielo - and another...

Nathan - very intelligent but he's also VERY talk-active!!!!

Sean - won't ran out of questions and would always ask "teacher, may I erase the board??" and

Mark - a real challenge for me (separate blog for Mark to follow... ;-)

Honestly, I really don't like kids. That's why I had "secondary" education as my course and not "elementary". I actually still can't see my self treating them the way Teacher Vivian does.. with all patience, love and care... But I am really trying my best! I hope I could be like the other teachers that I know and that I would grow as a person just like how these children in my care grows in school. I hope nothing goes wrong this year!
