A Teacher's Diary

Thursday

I thought I was going to be late. With times like this, I need to come up with quick decisions or else I'll be late. Every second counts.

In front of our house, jeepneys are halted. Not moving. People are walking in the sidewalks. I decided to walk along with them. Some streets are closed for Street Dancing competition. An activity for the coming Ilog Fiesta. Good thing that yesterday, it was announced that our Batangas Farm Outing on Saturday was cancelled. I reached Bambang's Barangay Hall and board a jeepney there. I can either stay at home for the fiesta or set a date with EJ or attend Peter Joshua's dedication.

Hooray for not being late.

I arrived in school just few minutes after T. Donna, seeing T. Elsha holding the poster of names of the two parties running for SPG. They did the campaign with the first subject. Election will be done with second subject tomorrow.

My class discussion went well to all grade levels I handle. Nice. But I need to remind myself that I need to finish all lessons in Unit I because the Periodical Test is fast approaching. And so far, I am able to come up with ideas how to tackle my lessons. I haven't figured out just yet how I'll  start my class and anecdotal record.

Art Reniel's Dad showed up while I'm discussing in Grade 1 room to get his son's snack bag. Art has a fever so he has to go home. He talked to me long enough for me to study his face. Curiousity no more.

I went out of school early so I won't have a hard time going to Seibu. I agreed to tutor Gwen today even Ate Ghen requested T. Donna. She can't go today because she has a commitment every Thursday. Their worship day for Iglesia ni Cristo.

I enjoyed teaching today. In all fairness to me. From time to time I'm able to crack up jokes to my class. Even with Gwen. I should worry less like this. Think that teaching kids is just like playing with them.

I'm no idiotcator after all.
