Weekdays pass quickly but weekends simply zoom by. Fridays always make me happy because to me, they signify the beginning of the weekends. Then voila! It's Sunday night again. These days I try to settle as much work- related stuff on weekdays (Thursday and Friday) for the following week so that I would have sufficient rest and play time on weekends. However, very often, I still find myself struggling with completing much on weekdays. The more tedious and heavier marking would have to wait until the weekends because admin and preparation of stuff already take up the bulk of the free periods and before and after school.
I was so busy yesterday during the few periods that I have that I actually forgot to give them homework except art homework. I know some parents aren't going to be very happy about their kids not having much to do on weekends. Well, it just slipped my mind although I had written down what to give them. There are so many schedules to meet eg: having to complete topic and that within a stipulated time frame that I simply have to hurry the little ones too for many things which is not a very good thing. They are seldom allowed to do homework in school. They don't have the luxury of doing that because they take alot of time just to understand instructions and the same few wouldn't pay attention so I have to repeat myself many times. Finally I decided to just let them bring home their homework to do, while I do the teaching and dish out instructions to guide them in school during curriculum time.
Yesterday a HOD (not the Art one...) asked me if I could join a design competition with them that's due on 15 Feb. It's a different one from the previous one which I had wanted to join myself some time back. I just had to oblige man since she gave me this hopeful face. "-_- But since she's a nice person, I guess I just have to put in some time in thinking.Labels: Work
