鼻鼾声

和那几个小子睡午觉... ...
睡得正熟的时候，kk的一声鼻鼾声， 把我吵醒了。

lier

"the road is soft." (he saw the ads on TV)
"do you think so?"
"the bread is hard, so are the cake, jelly, etc."
"ok, i'll give u a stone tomorrow. It's soft, right?"

他们很吵

“老师，他们很吵！”
“是咯。”
这里的学生特别吱喳，特别爱吵闹； 读书的时候，就是特别地小声，特别地静。
Why??

who is your teacher

"Who is your teacher?"
"My teacher is xiao-lin-lao-shi." (huh? 小林老师)
"My teacher is small-teacher." (haha! 小老师？)
"Please, no chinese-english, no translate. You don't know my name??!"
"My teacher is Miss Lim." (huuuu, finally.)

cry

when kids cry, there must always a reason for that.
today 2 lil 5-year-old sobbing in front of me.
guess what... ...
both of them had the same reason behind...
they poo-poo >.<

原来默默所作的，没人会知道

原来默默所作的，没有人会知道。天就是要我低调，可是似乎人觉得我做错了；他们都要看到、听到，我才算是有做到。
又是家长投诉。他们找了园长谈，谈了好久。 不明白，为什么就不能对当事老师说吗？园长也没有将详情说白，我至今也不知道他们真正投诉的问题，到底我哪里做得不足。 何苦嘛，家长，有话就当口说明； 难道小孩不明白我的用心良苦；连大人也认为我蛮不讲理？？

Holiday Class

一年的学期完了，现在又开始长假了；可是... holiday class 又来了。
真的很想和孩子们异口同声地说:"give me a break!"

Last day of school

Today is the last day of school - term 2008.
They play a lot today:)

壁虎大便

壁虎喜欢靠在窗口边，所以，窗边的那一角落特别多壁虎大便。yl不喜欢靠近哪里。
“壁虎替我们捉蚊子；它吃了蚊子，我们就不会给蚊子叮啦。”
“那为什么它要大便？”
“像我们人一样，吃了东西，就会大便啊。”
“为什么它不去厕所大便？”

老师，等下你有来教我们吗

“老师，等下你有来教我们吗？”
“等下你要我教你们吗？”
“不要。”
(我真的那么可恶吗？？)

the difference

today comes another newbie - xc, next year will be with us in our 5-year-old class (hopefully).
now i finally spot how awesome my 3-year-olds are. After attending school, not only they begin to master the singing, dancing, drawing, reading and writing skills, they also explore a lot, socialize, and hand-eye coordinating skills.
ok, rewind back to their 1st day of school... is exactly the same as the newbie today:)

因为我喜欢给老师骂?

"为什么每次都要老师骂、打才肯做功课？yl..."
"因为我喜欢给老师骂嘛。"
“then，为什么老师骂、打后你要哭呢？”
“... ...”

my 3-year-olds still the best!

today i meet a few gorgeous tots, new and old. tt finally back to school with his sister. another newbie comes with jj's sister, they are cousins.
tt stil like to make boxes alone, all by himself, though sometimes a bit stubborn, but he's alwayz lovely with his lil sweet voice and cute look. newbie wa is adorable too. Whenever he heard his cousin sister cries, he'll come to her and give her a hug and sayang.

手痛-心痛

“yl, 不要再东张西望了，先把你的功课做好。”
... ... 不久后，就看见她把功课作业都收进书包了。
“yl, 功课都做完了吗？” 她点头，可是动作有点犹豫。
“功课作业全部拿出来，给我看看。” 她的动作慢条斯理，我开始冒火了。
“为什么功课没完成，就把它收进书包？” 不是第一次了，越骂就越气！
拿了藤鞭，就一发不可收拾了。 不但她遭殃，另一头的zj一直叽喳不停，可手却动也不动，也被鞭了。
之后陆续都有冲动，可我答应过自己，园长也警告过：孩子不能鞭、不能打、不能动，也不好骂。 我再气也要控制自己的情绪。
我的心好痛，为什么孩子们就不懂老师的用心良苦？ 到头来，苦还是老师自己受： 孩子痛了，父母疼了，老师受罪。
既然孩子无心，父母无心，老师再尽心，也是徒劳无功。

其实，孩子最好的老师，是父母以身作则的榜样，老师们的影响力和推动力，都远不及你们父母啊。

astronaut

今天玩cards， 4&5岁一起参与。4岁不赖，5岁的更不用说。 值得一提的是： 他们常常记不得的“astronaut”, 今天终于给hz读了出来，让我有点意外:)

new comer --- ShenShen

ss is only 3. He is quiet, he is still learning how to talk.
"What is your name?"
he 'answers', "What is your name?"
I've been asking the same question a few times, but I get the same 'answer'.
Then we introduce his classmates...
"This is zy."
"zy"
"This is jw."
"jw"
... ...

快点

“快点” 是我对学生的口头弹，也是很多老师们的口头弹。
就不能让一切都从容一些吗？

pakai tudung

i heard from teachers that Siti won the 1st prize on a coloring contest last week.
This week she has another coloring contest to attend.
She scared that somebody will recognize her. I don't know why she thinks like that. She said, "saya boleh pakai tudung (so that nobody will recognise me)."

They'r watching!

they are playing the word puzzles... I need to be away for a moment, and i leave them with the puzzle.
when i get back, they still playing quietly. And jw becomes lil teacher, 'playing' my role.
Then we start chatting while playing.
Talking too 'excited', until i can't control my saliva coming out together with my words. zy spots it, "teacher, your saliva is coming out!"

Thursday - Church

what relation these two words have?
But Howard used to remind himself of the 'Church' sound as 'Thurs'.
"哦，'church' 就是 'thursday' 的 'thurs'..." 你想通了吗？ 0o^o0 我还是没想通,可是却笑开了怀。

自己来

“我在家里mummy帮我脱衣服、穿衣服的。”
“ooo... 我可不帮你的哦。再难、再辛苦，你也要学会自己脱衣服、穿衣服。 不然会被人取笑的啊。”
他静静看着我... ...
其实他很努力地在学习这些基本技能，动作虽然慢了一些，可是他还是可以完成； 为什么就不能给他多一点时间，让他自己来动手做？熟能生巧嘛。

23rd Annual Graduation & Concert

Yesterday was our kindergarten concert.
Thanks a lot to all the staffs, volunteers and parents for your support and presence.
This is the 1st year i handle the event with greater responsibilities. i gathered the volunteers, job divisions to them and myself controlling the music. but i forgot many little but important things todo. like briefing to MC about what to announce, list out the graduation students, ensure enough seats to all the audiences including reserve seats to VIPs, ensure no blocking on stage, etc. I've to take note about all these next time around, and here to remind myself.
The kids performed excellent! but i have no idea what principal still worried about, she kept rounding on the stage to adjust the line, to take the kids, just can't be relax. Even the teacher lined up them wrongly, but my kids managed to rock as if nothing wrong at all! they helped each other to go on track, this is what i felt warm and touched.

mm...

yl is finding her milk bottles from her bag...
she's getting frustrated because she can't find them easily (cos her bag is messy).
"mmm..."(nodded her head) she found her milk container.
"mmm..."(shaking her head) that is not the one she want to search.
"yes!" finally she found her milk bottle.

今天火气大

while 6-year-old class are playing the matching cards game; the 3 & 4 years were sneaking into the class.
I've spread the cards all over the class. u can guess what I can't take to happen.
but there... aqa came to me with a card slightly wrinkled. And on the spot, 我的火气莫名其妙地大了起来，把全部小班孩子给赶出了课室。
回想起来，难道cards真的比他们还宝贝？

美

今天我才发觉satria学生的美:
他们的功课整齐、上的颜色也创意美观，这些打从上半年我都晓得了。
今天让我觉得美的，是他们的好心、爱心、关心同学、互相帮助的精神。
就算是不够手，他们也想尽办法，把同学朋友们的水壶拿至桌上，好让大家一起喝水；
js 哭了，一大班同学围着他，是在教他如何不让自己掉泪。

姐妹情

今天不是第一次发现“姐妹情深”了。
上回儿：姐姐帮妹妹撕卫生纸；
这回：姐姐丢下了自己的功课，转成良师的角色，教起妹妹造句、写字也！

because

"Why is Lily happy?" i was asking the question while pointing the drawing of a kid smiling, with an adult standing beside her, with her thumb's up.
"because she is good..."
"because the teacher said she is good."
"because teacher show her thumb up."
"because teacher said she good girl."
... ...
spot any wrong answer?
for me, they are excellent. They share what they see, what they know, and they dare to speak out.

main belon

"adik mandi ke? kenapa rambut basah, muka basah, badan pun basah?"
"bukan... saya main belon."
Yes, it's happy to see them sweat, get them moving actively and sweating.
Let's sweat, let's get healthy!

lonely

povi 1st yr school in his 6-year. He totally can't understand a single chinese word or even a,b,c when he 1st came. Now is almost the year end. although he's stil weak in the languages of writing and communicating, at least he can understand a little bit, and can speak a little bit with the class and teachers now. Though his mother tongue and the strongest language is Tamil.
He tries to get into the circle, but most of them reject him, including the other indian boy.
in fact, this is how the society today. Never give up, never to be self-pity!

错怪

大人不一定永远都对，小孩也不一定完全都错。
恳亲会的日子，愈来愈近了； 我们都在加把劲儿地练习。
有时候很气他们都不能记住上下台的步骤，忍不住痛骂一顿后才发觉...原来不是他们不记得，而是我忘了 ---他们正等着我的音乐也。

气球破了

原本打算给他们玩个气球追逐的...
"jw，来帮我吹吹气球。"
她好不容易吹起了气球，后多次都是因为要吸第二口气，没捏好气球里的气，而又让它泄了下来。
后来，我也‘很辛苦’地吹大了气球， 准备我们的“气球追逐”。
我忘了事前说好游戏规则， 结果...
cy 好兴奋地迎接气球，可他用脚... 一踏！ pak!！ 气球破了:(
可怜的jw连球都没碰到，不甘愿地、也不舍地 流下了眼泪。

buntut sakit... 13/10

Today is the turn for satria kids to play with the big ball. Definately, dan and farah were the most excited.
Dan is as 'big' as the ball, and he jumped like a frog; and Farah, she jumped like a kangaroo.
the frog jumped fast, he hitted me, his lip hurt a lil bit. I was the only 1 worried, he took the ball, and continued playing as if nothing happenned to him.
Then another while, he bounced from the ball, kena buntut, then he said, "buntut sakit", then continued again.
btw, he still remember what happenned, "tadi mulut darah sikit, sekarang buntut sakit."
Sometimes, it's okay for them to have a little bit scrathes, a little bit hurts, or even some injuries;
they are learning, they are socializing, they are exploring. even you n me learn from our mistakes.

my failure

dua adik... adik. Mereka sporting! main - mereka paling suka. Selain main, Farah suka tulis dan color, bagus! Selain itu, mereka juga suka komputer! Tetapi...
mouse mereka consider boleh handle sekarang, hari ini 1st kali mereka sentuh dengan huruf-huruf di keyboard, dan barulah saya ketahui mereka masih tak boleh recognise huruf-huruf, even A,B,C!! Hampir setahun belajar, mereka masih tak recognise mummy huruf dengan baby huruf. Kecewanya.

bounce, bounce, bounce

cw is steady since her 3-year-old. it's easy-job for her to hold the chopsticks and this big bouncing ball. Her eye-hand-leg coordination and balancing are excellent.
cy is very very careful bouncing this big ball, but he has fun always. He is picking up most of the things when he plays and even talks.
zy is new. The 1st time she tries a new thing, she will says, "I don't know this..." After she tries, she can master it in a really short time. Now she can bounce the big ball even faster then anyone else, just that a little bit clumsy and lost of balance once a while.

little 'babysitter'

ch is really good at taking care the younger ones.
Danial stil in Raya mood, crying the whole morning.
Teacher Maria takes him to 6-year-old class, soon i hear his crying no more.
When i step in the class in the next period, there i see him sitting beside ch. ch reads n shows her book to him, he's happy.
我走过去奏热闹，他立刻又show哭得一副可怜的样子。
hmm... 小孩的世界，大人真的懂吗？坦白说，很多时候我真的搞不懂。

they got cold, so do I

these days' weather --- raining mostly. the kids got cold easily. I seldom fall sick, though I know my immune system is weak (That's why I get cold from them this time).

1st day school after Raya

yes, u can guess what happens after 5-day holiday. Terrence was sitting on a swing, wants his mummy. Poviarasu doesn't like reading and schoolwork, he was hanging around at the playing side.
Then i saw cy acted like teacher, scolding and warning them to go back to their class, or else will be beaten by teachers.
This 'no-no' child is now brave enough to socialize around. A smart tot, though a lil bit naughty now.

my failure

my 5-year-olds... Phonics:
they can read, they can recognize the picture, they can match the words with the pics. They just can't spell out the word if only picture is given.

mouse

it's not that the kids don't know how to use the mouse, but the ball-mouses in Tadikas sometimes really hard to control to move smoothly.
Today about 10 of them did the computer assessment 1 at a time. 99% of them facing the same problem --- the 'mouse' problem.
but in my pov, it's good for them practicing their holding and controlling skill.

Do the RIGHT Thing

it's human nature: you know what's the right and wrong thing to do.
And i expect them to do the right thing.
I expect them to do their homework neatly, I expect them to flush the toilet after use it, I expect them to drink their water whenever they feel thirsty, I expect them not to waste food, I expect them to take care of their own things, I expect them to share among friends, play safe and soft. Be more considerate and independent.
But they(even man) are stubborn and selfish, they do whatever they like but not right.

do u help at home?

i asked yy, "do u help mummy at home?"
he is the eldest, he can do many things neatly.
he said, "i don wanna help her, let her do all the household until tired."
"Why? You r so bad."
"I wanna mop, but mummy chased me away. Never mind, let her do all alone, let her tired."

loud

Kids learn from the people around them: parents, teacher, family and friends.
i always complain that they talk too loud, and listen me with no ears when i talk soft.
Then i discover these: teachers are shouting in the class, parents talk loud with the kids, the friends are loud and scream when play.
How can a 'talk softly' environment be created?

自满

jw 是个聪明伶俐的孩子。上半年的学业是名列前茅的。
这下半年，明显地退步了。 多多少少是因为她的自满。哀哉，可惜。

why shout?

i can't stand on him. ok, not just him, but some of them.
They can shout and yell while playing with each other;
but when come to read, they can hardly open their mouth to read, and sound are soft enough even I want it to be as loud as he can.
i know it's part of my failure: even I can't promise myself not to scold and shout:(

喊、骂

今天我开了很多‘喊’戒和‘骂’戒。
事后真的很后悔自己那么不可一世地骂人。
曾经答应过自己要给他们爱， 可是... ...我一次又一次地食言:(

“我要mummy...”

今天第一次和拼concert rehersal，yc 和 jw 从高凳上摔下。
jw 是个有性格的女孩，不哭、也没叫；
yc 则是第一时间哭着要mummy。

不要？

当小孩说“不”的时候，大人就要顺着他吗？ 当然得分析事情的逻辑、好坏吧。
amei“不要”写字。 我尽量‘施软’，说服了她， “两行就行了。”
写完了两行... ...“今天你再写多一行，明天就可以写少一行哦。”
“ok.”
写着，写着。最后她把整面的字给写完了。“好棒哦！”

假装

最近发现day care 那几个小精灵，明明是睡醒了，却还继续地装睡。
好的，还会静静扮睡，坏的，会把房里的全部人弄醒、吵醒！

芙蓉园中秋晚会

小孩子们尽兴地玩蜡烛&灯笼，大人在旁守着。
我... 无聊地站着、奏热闹地看着。

原来妹妹也会闹情绪

妹妹在幼儿园很乖。
今天看见mm妈妈在看壁报上的'家教Article'，才知道原来妹妹也会闹情绪的...

run

dan n farah r active. Pity to see them doing the 'paperwork' all day long.
Thought of computer, they also like it much. but then...
I saw them punching the door, messed up the children's chart, and ran out. They r having fun! Though the floor outside is dusty, but they hv no worry.
So, since they r having fun, so i change my mind to give them running all about, finding back the stickers that hv been torn out juz now.
4 missing, aqa managed to get back 2. He has great observation during the runs;)

cane

i'm trying hard to avoid using cane. but they juz can't listen to me. i lost my voice yelling n warning. it juz won't work. My voice can't compete with their noise.
Someone, pls help me...

'w'

"w"
"badauu"
"dou-ble-u"
"ba-ba-u"
"dou..."
"da..."
"ble..."
"bel..."
"u"
"u"
"dou...-ble...-u..."
"babelu"

6

aqa learnt to write '6' yesterday.
Today i checked his book, his '6' are nice; but i was in shocked when i realized that he has been writing '6' non-stop for more than 8 pages!!! 666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666
666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

牛

“mei, 这是什么？”
“牛。”
“它头上有什么？”
“钩钩。”
“哈...”
“不是钩，它叫什么？”
“dok dok 的。” （She means they are sharp.）
“哈哈...”
“牛的头上有角。 记得哦，是‘角’。”

失落感

每次听到孩子们有心无意地说他们将要到别的幼儿园去的时候，自己就会有一种莫名的失落感。
是不是我的不专业？ 还是家长们有什么不满意之处？ 给机会让我们改进； 让我们一起努力---为孩子。

cy's sick

1st time i handle a really sick tot. At first i thought it was ok, he was ok, cos he still asking permission from me to play more.
during break, he has no appetite to eat. His forehead can boil an egg!
then teacher Kan asked, "y wait? u should call his parent!" yes. that's what i suppose to do.
cy has no mood to do anything including play. He can hardly even to stand straight and walk. i held him in my arms.
soon, his babysitter came and took him back.

屁股痛

“yl 来，坐下。”
“不要。”
“为什么？”
“屁股痛。”

ding dong

teacher showed a banglo house to the kids. it will have the 'ding dong' sound when the door bell is pressed.
"adik, what is this?" teacher pointed to the door.
"ding dong," he said.
"what's this?" teacher pointed to the window.
"ding dong."

my drawing

today i tried to do sentences making through my drawing on the white board.
children wouldn't complaint if my drawing is terrible not alike of the real in life. But...
"teacher, why the rabbit has no eyes?" although the rabbit is not alike, but they will complaint not on the drawing nice or not, but they really observe, what i've missed.

pergi ambil

"adik nak tulis?"
"nak"
"boleh tak adik ambil buku yang adik nak tulis?"
dia menggeleng kepalanya.
"pergi ambil! cepat..." katanya.

what m i thinking? - 15/8/2008

i almost forgot to drive jw home. luckily she asked when she saw something wrong, "teacher, where are u going?"
or else, i might had forgot she was still in my car!



--------------------------------------------------------
i've forgot when this happenned:
now is the durian season in Malaysia. Principal brought some to kindergarten one day. some children that love it, they love the smell and taste;
some children hate it, to them, durian is smelly.
hz hates durian, he said to those that enjoyed eating the fruit, "这么臭，你们怎么吃得下？"

what an indian means when he/she 'menggeleng kepala'

'menggeleng kepala' usually means "No" for us.
But if u see an indian 'menggeleng kepala', it means a "Yes".

讲谢谢

hz 应该是从老师这里学回来的吧。当他帮了某某同学，他会主动地要求对方说谢谢，且还要对方说出他的名字：
“讲谢谢，讲啊..”
“谢谢。”
“谢谢谁？要讲谢谢谁。谢谢我。”
“谢谢lhz...”

amei birthday

today's amei birthday. She brought her cake and tit-bits to share with her friends.
After we sang the birthday song; i asked her to blow out the candles.
guess what? 站在旁边的cy比她快一步，把蜡烛全都吹息了!

tikus gigit

"Kenapa Aqa tak datang sekolah? sakit ke?"
he nodded his head and said, "tikus gigit."
He had chicken pox actually, not 'tikus gigit'.

talking to Computer

farah hv a habit... whenever she's impatience with the computer, she will shout n scold at it. She still finds it hard to handle the (ball) mouse.
"Farah, geram apa? computer tak boleh bergerak sendiri, tangan adik yang bergerak."

“我不会“

jw likes to use this phrase to me : "i don't know."
Teacher gave her worksheet, she can complete it in a glance of time all by herself. A similar worksheet given to her, n this time with my supervision. It becomes worse.
She was depend on me to give her the answers.
"you know it. You can do it. try, try harder!"
Maybe i should leave her alone when she's supposed to 'rack' her brain.

I don like this!

geram betul! when i give out the worksheet, keep repeat and remind them not to repeat the same common mistake again; but they juz can't get me.
I noe something was wrong: I was using a wrong method, they were not cleared enough about what i've said.
I din calm enough to handle my moody temper. Or else, I won't be suffered, as well as they won't be suffered too.

durian season

now is durian season. Our kids keep falling sick: Fever, cough, cold, throat pain, mouth pain, vomit, etc.
durian is a kind of 'hot' fruit. You have to drink a lot of water after eating it, regardless children or adult.
Do take care of your kids as well as yourself especially in this hot weather and 'hot' fruit season.

my lousy car

after 1 month rest, today the 1st day back to our Smart Reader class. hz surprised me: he has improved a lot, his concentration as well as his phonics word pronunciation. He even better than the top girl last time.
看到他们的进步，自己也感觉爽嘿。

When the time ready to back home, my lousy car didn't sound and move at all.
Bet chet, can't startup my car. Have to call principal to help fetching my lil girl home.

“为什么老师没来？”

今天和yk mummy 谈起...
(上两个星期我没上课期间)
“为什么老师没来教你？”
“老师说，因为我们这样（差），所以她不要来教我们咯。”
是的，那番话真的是我说的。我take off 之前，有向他们交待说我会两星期没来， 而且还交待他们要读fun Reading。 可是该记的他们都没记上。反而我随便说说的，给他们记牢了。

dialog between yy n kk

"你mummy会做这个吗? （pan cake, he means）"
"会。可是不好吃的。"

为什么不好吃？
“因为冷了。”

园长做的还热腾腾。所以好吃！

hey

"Hey, hey, what is this?" my 3-year-old cy asked me. I stunned.
A parent pass by... "When is Teacher Lim becomes 'hey'?"

shower

water heater's water is getting hotter; so I adjusted it to a bit cooler. N since the weather today's hot; so i thought it's ok for them to shower in this water condition.
kk was the last tot i showered. Everything seems fine until...
"huh...chew..."
"oh no, you get cold?"
"is the water too cold for you?"
I can tell that.
I felt sorry for him. I should be more aware...

on the other hand, I'm glad to see improvement on him: Finally he managed to take out his uniform and don his shirt n shorts. Though it takes a longer time, but as long as you try your best. Good work!

They enjoyed, but I...

4-year-old just left 2 tots now.
Watching them play; I know that they enjoyed the plays, but I was 'mengantuk'.
I think I should try to get involve next time onwards, or else I can't get rid of 'mengantuk' then.

five-teen

counting:
"...eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fiveteen..."
"fifteen," teacher corrected them on the spot.
"fifteen, sixteen, seventeen....." then they continued their counting.
This happened in both Tadika Satria n Seri Suria.

老师很凶

He was sitting aside with his friends, watching me scolding at cs.(I beg your pardon, was I scolding？)
He told his friend, "老师很凶hoh?"
我不以为然。其实我不想凶；也很庆幸cs今天没把我气到极点。

老师廋了

没见你们两个星期了。别来无恙？
"这么久没见到老师，她廋了，" yy这么说。

三分钟热度

satria left two 4-year toddlers without wh n tete now.
Farah is good in colouring, but writing, cutting and playing she doesn't have the patience and easily gives up.
aqa has mood, when he is in good mood, everything is ok; juz that sometimes, it's a bit hard to pursue him to write more. He is more behaved now; although sometimes he'll act 'intimately' with farah.

same trick

I'm using the same trick as teacher Chong today.
Last time I complained and discussed with her that I can hardly get aqa to write, even harder to hold his hand and write; but teacher Chong can make him willingly to write a full page, all by himself!
She knows him: he is the kind that need to be informed first of what he needs to do, and if he agrees to do so, he will do it.

"Aqa, nanti boleh tulis sikit tak?"
Dia menggeleng kepala. (He refused to)
"lepas main sekejap, kami tulis sekejap, lepas tu boleh makan breakfast."
"tak apa kalau adik tak nak tulis, nanti cikgu dan farah main sama-sama, adik duduk sini, main sendiri."
...
seems like having a bargaining with him.
"nak tulis? tulis sikit aja."
finally he nodded his head.

We read some Chinese flash cards, played puzzle, played blocks, then he have done his 'r' writing and followed by makan breakfast. great!

no means no??

"teacher, i want to play ..."
"no."
(why teacher always do not allow this, don't allow that.)

"teacher, i want to play ..."
"yes, after this 1st."
(is it play have to be conditional?)

"teacher, i want to play ..."
"yes!"
(yeah!!)

nails

"Your nails are long, dirty ..."
Daddy mummy, don't you ever spend a minute with your child? If you do, I'm sure you won't let the situation above happens.
Hygiene is 1 of the reason, and another main reason is to keep all of them playing safe; what occasionally happen are those long nails tots can scratch and hurt their friends easily. Which you --- parents and us don't want it to happen.
How much I can do? Lining them up and cut their nails every couple of days? Or just back to my work (teaching).

“我要刀”

“老师，我要（借）刀。”
“要刀干嘛？”
“切苹果。”
有理智的你，会把刀借给这孩子吗？
kk说是mummy要借来切苹果；可为什么mummy不亲自来借呢? （问题就在这儿。）
再向kk mummy 求证：mummy说没这回事：
（昨天）是要老师帮忙切苹果；
（今天）不需要了，整粒苹果可以吃，不用切了。
那，为什么kk会把它说成 “我要（借）刀呢？”
小孩子的话，真的可信吗？真的可靠吗？

“对不起“ 那么难说出口吗？

阿妹今天又习惯性地耍霸道，拿了小妹的一根lasy玩具；
我也耍霸道，“你不还给人，那你就只玩那一根lasy好了。”
最后她是还了给小妹、也和她握了手，可就是不肯开口道歉，所以只能静静地看着别人玩。
等了蛮久的，她知道我不会改变主意吧，再等也是个吉，就离开了玩具室。

alike

sometimes I'll compare the tots with the people or friends that I know.
Today I saw a familiar face...
I saw my primary schoolmate's face --- loud, funny teeth, having genius look (a bit weird) and acts in between patience and impatience. His face is enough to tell me jokes.

scissors cutting

The 4-year-olds are started on scissors cutting training, meanwhile, I let the 3-year-olds to tear the pictures in a paper instead of using scissors.
"the first time, must be messy," that was what I thought. But it didn't look as messy as I thought.
The 2nd time now; JW are getting steady; besides cutting out the pictures, she even cuts out words: Chinese characters and numbers!

ubat

"adik, apa rasa ubat? adik suka ubat tak?"
"suka. ubat manis!"
Remember that in the book written: “药，是苦的。”
But now, how can I disagree that "ubat rasanya manis"?
Medicine for tots are sweet, not bitter!

Telephone conversation play

"Hello, who is speaking?" "I am ..."
"I am a girl."
"I am Farah."

"How are you?"
"cicakman."
"I am fine."

----------------------------------------------------------

"Hello, siapa ini? Danial ke?"
"mm"
"Siapa bersama adik?"
"Tak ada."
"Ayah dan mak mana?"
"kat rumah."
"Kak mana?"
"rumah."
"Adik mana?"
"sekolah."

They can speak very good with their mother-tongue; but they still need more listening and reading in English and Mandarin.
On the other hand; though we didn't start teaching Bahasa in this young age; but the Chinese already can communicate with the Malays with bahasa.

they like brainstorming

they have tonnes of idea in their mind.
They don't like to be like the type of 'book worm';
plain reading is dull for them; because they don't like reading, they can't recall and spell the words that they've learnt.
For their age; I think pictures and flash cards are important for them.
Today I hardly get them finish revise the few words that we've learnt, then I concentrate on the theme picture page; only one question I asked, "What can you see in the picture?" and they'll keep on and on telling all the stuff inside there.
"Some more?"
"Anymore?"
"Yes!"
"Great."
These for encouraging them to answer as much as they can - brainstorming.
I think this method works for them. Sometimes we end up laughing when they can't think of the word in English and replace the word with mother-tongue language's words.

apa tu?

"cikgu, apa tu?" sambil menunjuk ke mukaku.
"lalat... itu lalat." (maksud saya; tahi lalat.)
sudah berbulan bersama mereka; sekarang baru nampak tahi lalat saya?!
cermin mataku memang berguna. 其实我一直都很在意它。

戴眼镜的老师...

“戴眼镜的老师，我的功课做完了。”
"Huh?!" (整半年了，你还记不得要怎样称呼我？)

shake! shake!!

it's time preparing them for the concert performance.
"ok, we do 'exercise first: 'let's shake our body."
Normally, the kids would enjoy shaking,jumping and running. But there is always exception. Aqa still with his style; he likes to be audience instead of moving up his body.
no forcing. but there are only a few 4-year-old, if aqa really don't wanna join; we only have 3 to perform. to get my 3-year-old to move also not easy; anyway, I have to try harder.

great appetide

my 3 & 4 years have great appetite today. What they bring today?? most of them have nasi lemak today. Is that makcik nasi lemak so tasty??

坐摩哆

为了要准备这星期日的家庭日，每日早上他们都练唱及玩游戏。
今天我也有在。
孩子们在空当及等待的时候最皮。而，看管的老师， 就只有那一位他们最不放在眼里的老师。我见状，训了特皮的一顿，后也与他们排排坐下。
Bryan 走到我面前，说要坐摩哆； 且教起我怎样‘坐摩哆’。他那壮壮的身体，差不多有我的体重；压（坐）得我动弹不得； 却乐在其中。

4 yrs ah 4 years

maybe it was my wrong; I always give then plays until finally when I give them worksheet to do; they don't want to follow the instructions (or maybe juz that they don't know why they should, or they already forgot what I said in the time they're doing).
"colour the high mountain green, leave the small hill, don't colour anything on the small hill. ok?" I've repeated times for the above; but when I checked the books, only wh can do it.
aqa as his usual style, colour the whole, regardless high or short, mountain or hill; at least he got 1 thing right: Green.
farah, I have quite a high expectation form her actually coz she can do things neat. She coloured only the mountain, Syabas! But she just don't think that the mountain would be nice with green colour. She changed to brown colour at the midst.

new 2++

Today we have a new coming sweetie, 2+.
I like her smiling face, even she's quite a playful girl.
Her smile cheer up my day;)

我不是神仙啊

“不明白她是怎样考试的；可以差到那么厉害！”
“他好像开始跟不上了。我想不要给他继续了；浪费钱罢了。”
以上都是家长们的feedback。
其实我是不鼓励孩子们补习的人，因为我一直都有这个信念：靠自己。（连自己都不帮自己，谁还能帮到你？）
既然你委托我，那你就要对我有100%的信心与信赖；那是我的工作原则。如果他们的成绩是您唯一要看到的output， 很抱歉，我不是神仙。
ok, 要和大人说的，都说了。
小人呢？不需要和他们说什么； 只要他们enjoy和我一起；不管是说话、游戏、听课、画画、涂色、故事、背诵... 他们都在学习，他们都在进步；只是大人都把重心放在成绩单上；其他的进步他们有放在眼里吗？会放在眼里吗？

miss u

tete and wh have been absent more than 2 weeks.
On this last day of the school term, they turned up.
I thought that after so many days absences, sure they don't like to school;
but I was wrong.
Day back to usual, cute tete still surrounded by his admirer and bullier; wh stil with her leadership look.

Shy

We have group singing this morning.
cy was trying to make himself invisible by hiding behind jw.
shy lil boy;)

writing

i learnt from the past: the more I force a child, the more aggressive he would be; the more hatred he would be.
yy has 3 writing waiting to be finished: chinese, malay and english. Poor him, I know he doesn't like writing. No forcing, this time, I told myself.
An hour past... another hours past... his writing was hardly filled in a line. It's good, at least there's some improvement.
"which writing you like the most? why not you finish 1 instead of 3, and after you finish 1, I promise to let you play on the abacus." He likes mental arithmetic.
And he did!! ;)

pray

Hari ini hari mendung.
Semasa senaman pagi..., saya ternampak beberapa murid sedang sembayang, sekejap berdiri, sekejap berlutut.
"Kasihanlah kami, tolong jangan hujan... jangan jangan hujan." sambil berlutut.
Really looked like holy-man.

Song for Teacher

Tomorrow will be Teacher's Day.
The kids learnt the teacher's day song since Monday this week.
YY sang the song during his lunch...
"Teacher I love you forever,
Teacher I love you forever;
Teacher ... healthy,
Teacher ... pretty,
Teacher I love you forever."
It sounds great to me. How about your comment?

Graduation Photography

We have photography for our Graduation photos and class photos today.
A same scenario happens every year: it's hard to get the child to smile and act naturally in their individual photo taking.
Fam was the first taking the individual photo, and he can't stand straight and facing straight to the camera;
YK looked so uncomfortable in front of the camera, and forgot to smile;
I asked the children to smile with their teeth showing out, but the cameraman told them not too, for that will 'spoil' the photo.
Gosh, why so hard to take a nice Graduation photo?

he cried

As usual, when he saw me, he'll ask for "a,a,a" song.
As usual, I always delay what he wants.
"ok, we'll go after JW done her writing."
"ok."
While JW was doing her works, I went to washroom. But I only informed JW.
...
When I backed to the class... I can see his tears.
Poor lil CY, must has been beaten by teacher.
JW told me that he tried to go out of the class, that's why teacher bit him.

Later when I ask him in person, "Why u cried? Were you looking for me?"
"Yes." he said. But he had no more tears at the time.

Yew would like to transfer

Yew would be transfered to another school the next term onwards.
Teacher Chong told me the news. "ok." I said.
But my mind was curious and kept asking why. "Is something happened? What the reason would be? Why?"
She was a smart girl, and a talkative one too.
I asked her at the moment we get ready for school dismiss.
The main reason I think I got was, "There's not enough schoolwork from our tadika."
ok, it's absolutely ok for us. It was your choice, and it's up to you if you really think that more schoolworks means more clever and more knowledge they'll get.

the most precious gift to mum

2 days more is ... Mother's Day.
"You've made your mum the Mother's day Card. Don't forget to give it to mum, and together, with your warmest kiss to her too!"
After the children listened what teacher said, some of them pretending falling down from their place, just like what we can see in the movie --- can't help, falling in laughing.

我又太苛求了

I keep repeating the same mistake over and over again.
I assume they all are me; sometimes I even expect more than what they actually can do, and know how to do.
How can I be so cruel? They're just kids, but I'm trying very hard to push them to learn to be independent. It's for their own good too, that's what my mind says. But I forget that sometimes, there are many ways to show my love. Pamper them once a while can bring some cheers to them and me too.
"Never ever pushing someone to your limit!"

How many legs a chicken has?

I was teaching Math tuition today.
Problem solving...
six chickens altogether have how many legs?
"ok, we have to know how many legs a chicken has first."
"4"
"I beg your pardon?"
Don't be surprised if u get the answer's 4.
Simply because they never see a chicken in their real life; sometimes, they would assume all animals have 4 legs.

"Are you feeling sick?"

Kiefer 脸色有点不对劲，也比平时静许多。
"Are you feeling sick?"
"Yes."
"I've stomachache."
Knowing from my experience, they need to go to toilet to get 'relieve' from the stomachache.
But Kiefer refused to go.
"You want to wait until going home?"
He nodded.
Keras kepala betul. ok, nevermind, I continued my teaching.
...
"老师...我要大便... 我的大便出来了。"
"go, to toilet now!"
Finally he got all his clothes dirty and smelly.
"Told you to go toilet, why you want to wait? wait until it comes out." I started murmuring and blaming.
"If you need to go to toilet, please do so. I know you also don't want to see your clothes become dirty like this, right?"

try to get their interest

when they have interest of what u about to teach or tell, they are willing to spend time for it, the important thing is, they'll absorb and learn effectively.
Play is the key. It seems like a good news, but every child has different interest, different attitude. I need to deal with them physically and emotionally, as well as coping with my own emotions, it's the really hard part for me.

3岁好厉害！

QY is getting improve, and can say a more longer and complete words now.
He is a good listener too.
"ok, let's go back to class, urine and drink some water."
I just said it once. But he can get me well.
He back to the class while I still busy 'restoring' our playroom.
When i arrived in the class, I was seeking him, and a minute later, i saw him coming out from the toilet, closing the door.
He didn't wet his shorts. 2++ child can do all this by himself, amazing.

出乎意料！

Satria has puzzle contest today.
Peter Pan and HM are the champion for their class.
What surprised me was they both are not the top students in school, Pan is a very dependent child too.
Guess what, every child has their talent, not ness in academic; and they are more talented and more talents than we can imagine. I bet, your child too;)

early bird

Ahmei came to school the earliest today. 8.30am school starts, she came at 7.15am.
she's only 4.
Glad to see that she likes school so much.

今天的教学反思

我的例常是：先读、讲解，后做练习。
听课的，明白的，他们可以很快地完成练习；
差的，弱的一群，也往往是不专心听课的，做练习也习惯性地作弊，要不就把答案改至我点头说对为止。
我并不希望你们都拿一百分；最重要的是我教的，你们都能明白。
话说回来，我该面对事实：你们并不全都明白。我错了，我不该气你们，更不该在那个时候气。

贴心小伙儿

昨天补习当儿，身体不舒服；声音也沙哑。Kimi 还是在地上转；我也讲了好几遍，她还是当我没到。
“老师今天不舒服，声音也沙了...”
"喝水吧，老师。" Marcus 遂即把我的水瓶拿到我的面前。
好贴心的动作。“谢谢你。”

Dental Checking??

Nurses came to our school today; it's an annual visit of them to every (I suppose, lucky only) schools.
A gang of them came, in a van; but only one in charged of giving explanation and teeth brushing demo(, dental checking has been omitted).
Satria students joined late cos we need to fetch all of them to Seri Suria.
None of Satrian heard the nurse explanation; half of them managed to join in the brushing demo; half can only became audience because their toothbrush were still "on the way".
Less than half hour, the nursed gone.
Few minutes later, all Satrian arrived.
Principal blamed why we can't fetch earlier. But blames can't make any changes.
We have the giant teeth in our school as well. It's no reason to let them feel disappointed.
We take 2. Principal be our demonstrator at last, and satrian had a wonderful 'learn how to brush session' as well; without presence of a nurse!

Drink water

"Drink your water, please..." I always have to keep reminding the toddlers to drink their water or else, their bottle will still be full from morning until evening.
I'm getting frustrated day after day, repeating the same things.
I hate when they gave me no respond or action after times and times I remind and remind until I show out my angry face, sometimes even burst out to scold and shout and lost control of my hands, just because of the drink water matter.
Dear parents, please forgive me for not forcing your child to drink up their water now onwards.
I don't wanna be a monster in their eyes;
my throat was more dehydrated than their body;
the most, I'm afraid that forcing them will bring a bad impression about water until they hate it so deep inside their heart somedays later.
物极... ...必反!

‘预兆’

特特要小便的预兆就是朝向老师，轻轻地、急急地（且双脚拼命地踱着）说：“我要去小便。”
朝向老师其实是要老师帮忙脱下裤子。
今天一早来到，他自个儿坐着地上玩着，好静、好静，结果尿了我们也不知道。
看情况，我得教他一招才行：要上厕所前自己脱裤子。
就趁他尿急来“求救”的时候，我这样做了。
“把裤子拉下来，脱掉。”
也该见谅他还是“初学者”，就是要把裤子拉下的同时，手却在争执把它拉上:)

embrassed when 1st time kissed

Teacher was telling the Snow White story...
"...and the prince 'muak'(kissed) the Snow White..."
teacher pretending to be the prince, and she kissed on a kid's face.
ooo... he seems like scared of being kissed.
I asked, "Do u scare when people kiss u?"
"I only been kissed by my mummy."
no wonder, others are recognized as 'stranger' to him. That's why he feels bad when others try to kiss him.

几时开始我变成了“凶巴巴”？

小孩对我说：“为什么见你都是一副凶凶的脸？”
学生们见我都是又敬又怕 （敬是尊敬当我在场的时候；怕是怕我的诡计惩罚）。
这些不禁让我察觉到自己不知从何时起，脸上露出的样子，都是凶巴巴的老师模样。
惨啦，我的“笑嘻嘻”到哪儿去了？

“是谁弄的？”

“看，下雨了，越下越大的雨。”
“是谁弄的？”
“Huh?” （我还搞不懂她问什么。）
“是谁弄的？”
“Oh...” （我笑了。不知何从回答的同时，也被她的问题难倒了。）
I think she means 'why we have rain falls'.And I try my best to explain to her, begin with the cloud story.

I'm five?

"Children, how old are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you," Bryan said.
!!!
"I'm five years old."
"Bryan, let's say together,"
"I'm five years old."

Tug at the heartstrings

Zhe seems hating Phonics and Smart more and more after each day.
I have no idea whether or not I'm the big reason for that, or just one parts of the reasons.
He knows how to read. But he has no interest to open the book to read and do the workbooks.
Today is the second time (in this week) he gave me his phonics' textbook and workbook, saying that he don't want the books.

Bargain...

"after you read for me then you can play the puzzle."
"I don't want. I want to play puzzle first."
"We just finished a puzzle, you read first, the you may play the other puzzle."
"No."
"k. Promise you'll read for me after you finish this puzzle."
"ok."
... ... (after finished the 2nd puzzle...)
"I want to play the dinasour puzzle."
"No. You promise you'll read for me."
"Yes, I'll read if you let me play the dinasour puzzle first."
"You lie to me. You need to read to me now."
"ok lah."
... ... (opening the book...)
"ok, let's read."
"I don't want to read this(previous learnt pages) 1st; I want this(new pages)."
"Let's read from the beginning first, then only we can read the new pages."
"I don't want."
"mmm..."
"hmm..."

too clever?!

"okay, I'll pass the workbook to you; please write today's day and date, and try out the first question, after you've done the first question, let me have a look. After then, you may continue the rest at home, and don't forget your coloring."
They started to do their works.
... ...
strange..., why the top students seems can't finish the work I asked them to do forever??
... (take a closer look...)
"Can't you listen? just finish the first question, and do the rest at home!!"
They were trying hard to finish all the questions; no wonder.
I was angry. Even those that were not concentrate during my lesson also can follow my instruction, why can't the top students?!! ... ... ("They are too clever.")
"Erase all the rest, I just want the first question to be done!"

蚊子‘大战’

today the few mosquitoes in satria bit many of our students.
Teacher Maria discovered a few students had mosquito's bites during the morning exercise. Some are bites, some are skin allergy. After then, more and more student lining up to get medicine.
Teacher Chong and I got the mosquitoes full of blood.
The kids also helped us up to catch those 'dracula'.
(of course, some mosquitoes are so smart and successfully escaped from us.)

她尿床了

5岁了，她还有尿床的习惯。
我就知道她会尿床，可是还是放纵了她。
“ling, 去把你的pampers拿来，好吗？”
“我不要...”
“你会尿床的吗？”
“不会...”
... ...
结果，她尿床了。
气坏我啦。我信不过她了。

"suka tak"

"Ami suka tak smart reader?" I asked him though he's not my smart reader class student, I assume smart reader=phonics, n i'm teaching him phonics.
"Saya tak suka smart reader."
"Sedihlah saya, Ami tak suka smart reader..."
"suka, saya suka smart reader."
"Gembiralah saya, Ami suka smart reader."
I purposely wanted him to say the words that I like to hear.
Haha, I'm naughty.

"小朋友... ..."

"小朋友, 跟着我读；要不然我就念一百次给你们听的啦！" 这是郑小老师对大家所说的话。
我们---老师们听了都笑了。

I'm building up my confident here

fyi, i'm teaching english phonics to the kindergarten classes.
i'm chinese-educated.
It is touching to see the small kids try their best to talk with me in english;
and me too.
They are the ones that building up my confident to talk in English.
Let's learn together;)

"Dah!" atau "Tak!"

"Adik sudah minum air?"
'Tak' was the word I heard, "Tak? Adik tak minum air?"
'Tak' again I heard from his second response.
"Dah!" 'Dah' was the actual word that he was trying to tell me.
"Oh, dah. Baguslah begitu."

父母EQ讲座

不打、不骂、不喊，那要怎么教孩子呢？？
* 爱心 - 爱要说出口。
* 惩罚 - 目标是要让他感觉不舒服，而非让他对惩罚产生害怕或恐惧。
* 奖赏/鼓励 - 不要事前承诺；应该是事后惊喜。
三者要并行，才能奏效；不然后果严重。

还有一招：“三文治”式说话法 - 即是在要说会令人感觉不舒服的话前后加上好话
好话 + 要说的话 + 好话

new fashion

morning exercise Amirul turned to me and said,
"teacher, rambut saya macam Cikgu Maria, ada warna, warna perang."
"Kenapa nak 'warnakan' rambut anda?"
"itu fesyen."
"Ooo.. fesyen..."

Roti Canai

During tea break...
"Kareem bring roti canai today. Emm..."
"teacher we should eat healthy food," said Bryan.
"Why?"
"Roti canai is made by an egg, and mix with banana."
"You saw before? Are you sure?"
"Yes, teacher."
I think I get his words, the 'egg' that he means was the flour mixture which is an egg shape. and the roti he means was roti pisang.

why u cry?

chin was weeping when i concentrated to teach a few other students to read aloud the rhyme while she was doing her worksheet.
"Why are you crying? Are you feeling sick?"
"No..."
"Then stop crying. You almost finish your questions, please, don't cry."
I have no time to comfort her or finding out the exact reason.
The class ended just a short while after that.
While waiting the students back home, I raised my question to her again, "Why u cried?"
"Is it my loud voice scares you?"
"... " she nodded her head.

Good Article to share - "丢了翅膀，他仍是天使"

当在外地出差的我坐飞机赶回来时，十个月的儿子新新已经被推出抢救室。医生说持续的高烧也许损伤了脑神经，我要有心理准备接受可能的后遗症。

　　老公两天后才从国外回来。出院后，我们常常测试新新的听力和视觉，没有发现任何异常。我们终于放下忐忑的心。可渐渐地，我发现他开始瞪着无神的眼睛发呆，或者呈现一种令我不安的笑容。当和新新一般大的孩子开始迈着步子，清脆地喊着爸爸妈妈的时候，新新依旧呆呆坐在那里，傻傻地笑着。抱着他四处求医，结论同出一辙：新新的智力将会停留在幼儿期，除非发生奇迹。

　　那是段痛不欲生的日子，抱着孩子寻找各种可能的奇迹，秘方、偏方，甚至针灸。那长长的针如同刺在我的心尖，汗和泪伴着孩子凄厉的哭声一起落下。我多么希望这只是一场梦，梦醒后充满灵气的新新在对我甜甜地笑。我开始幻听，总感觉新新在喊妈妈。

　　我深深自责为了事业没有照顾好儿子，却不敢留在家里面对。每天下班后沉默地搂着他，日复一日，泪流尽了，心也似乎麻木了。老公也因为家里气氛沉闷，渐渐变得很少回家吃饭。

　　婆婆来看我们，说把新新带走，让我们再要一个孩子。我不假思索断然拒绝，我不能那样做!他没有选择地来到这个世界，又因为我的疏忽变成这样，已经够不幸了!把新新紧紧搂在怀里，我不要别人分享对他的爱！

　　2

新新两周岁生日那天，我才惊觉老公已经不再陪我们一起吃饭了，怕失去他的恐慌开始噬咬着我，使我觉得难以呼吸。直至深夜，一身酒气踉踉跄跄的老公才踏进家门，我已经荒芜的泪水终于又奔涌出来。老婆，我们再要一个孩子好吗?我狠狠点着头，与他紧紧相拥，抵死缠绵……

我又怀孕了！抚着逐渐隆起的小腹，有些苦涩的甜蜜。我仿佛比谁都期待这个孩子，却又在内心里抗拒这个孩子。看到新新向我伸来的手臂，我的心又涌起巨大的痛楚：新新，这个世界，除了妈妈谁还能爱你!

　　我终于下定决心打掉这个孩子，可检查结果使我震惊：我竟然怀了双胞胎！

　　2002年的夏天，一对漂亮的小女孩阳阳和月月降临了。满月以后，那对粉雕玉琢的小人，总是甜甜地笑，很少哭闹。只要我一说话，头就随着我的声音转，让我充分享受到做妈妈的喜悦。我已经顾不上新新，无论我多么约束自己，潜意识里我已经开始忽略新新，只把他交给保姆，甚至开始讨厌他那傻傻的样子。

　　转眼，阳阳和月月会走了。新新一般不注意什么，只是对这两个妹妹格外敏感，常常注视她们的一举一动，似乎带着极大的兴趣，而且不同于平时的眼神。我是不允许他接近她们的，他只能那样在一边望着，可我控制不住阳阳和月月蹒跚迈向新新的脚步，她们同样对新新表现出极大的兴趣。而我却舍不得强迫她们什么，只是一次又一次严厉地对新新说，记住，不许碰妹妹!不许碰妹妹！渐渐地，他对我有了怯意，我却丝毫没觉得有何不妥。

　　一天，孩子们在午睡，保姆出去买菜，我去储物间整理衣物。突然听到孩子的哭声，我连忙跑进卧室，看到新新正从床的栏杆间缝向外拉月月的两根手指，手指被卡住，新新还在用力向外拉。我一把拉过新新，照着他的手，狠狠拍打，不是告诉你不许碰妹妹，不许碰妹妹吗!看你以后还碰不碰妹妹!我越打越生气，似乎在发泄对他积累的厌恶。我疯了似的寻找可以用来打他的东西，直到看见镜子里自己魔鬼一样的脸。我终于听到孩子们的哭声，终于看到蜷缩一团哭泣的新新，还有女儿们的喊叫声……

　　保姆回来了，抱起新新，看着我余怒未消的脸想说什么，我摆摆手让她抱新新回自己的房间。我哄着阳阳和月月，突然看到床上有几块动物饼干，阳阳的手里还握着一块要喂我。我连忙到月月那边，果然月月那边床下有几块饼干，已经被我踩碎了。新新最喜欢吃动物饼干，原来他拉妹妹的手是要给妹妹饼干。我的心被刺痛了，连忙到他的房间，他已经被保姆哄睡了，可还在睡梦里抽搐着。我不禁泛起一阵酸楚，我这是怎么了?我还是他的妈妈吗'

　　一天，我和女儿们玩着拥抱的游戏。我拍拍手，她们就喊着妈妈，张着小胳膊争先恐后向我跑来，然后我们紧紧拥抱。这么简单的游戏，她们却乐此不疲，一遍又一遍。忽然，新新也张开他的胳膊，向我跑来，含糊地说着，妈妈，妈妈。我简直不相信自己的耳朵!我的儿子，自从来到这个世界，从没开过口!紧紧搂住扑到怀里的新新，我哭了。已经对他沉睡的母爱被重新唤起，儿子，妈妈有多久没搂过你，妈妈对不起你！

　　3

　　我终于开始认真思考我的孩子们，我有一个与众不同的家庭，我竟然有三个孩子！他们正渐渐长大，将来要有他们自己的人生。等我离开这个世界时，只有他们之间才能互相照顾。尤其新新，他需要好多好多的爱。

　　我不再分隔他们，而是常常告诉女儿们，要好好爱哥哥，因为没有他，就没有她们。我知道她们听不懂，我只希望她们会记住我的话。

　　我每天陪三个孩子做游戏，唱歌，跳舞，为他们讲故事。而新新，越来越有灵气，不但会叫爸爸、妹妹了，还会含糊表达自己的需要，而且会随着节奏跳些简单的舞步。看着并成一排熟睡中的孩子们，我终于相信这个世界上有奇迹，那就是爱，爱可以创造一切！

　　阳阳和月月到了上幼儿园的年龄，我也该上班了。为了减少我的负担，婆婆来商量着把新新接走。我犹豫再三，其实按新新现在的情况，勉强可以上幼儿园，可他毕竟和别的孩子不一样，我害怕来自外界给他的伤害。

　　新新被带走的那个晚上，女儿们不肯上床睡觉，一定要等哥哥回来。她们闪着漂亮的大眼睛问我，哥哥什么时候回来?为什么哥哥不上幼儿园?我的心一凛，回答她们，哥哥生病了，要好长时间才会好。她们又问。他会想我们的，为什么我们不照顾他呢?快让哥哥回来，我们会照顾他的。我的心紧了又紧，你们要乖乖的，只要你们听话，哥哥就会回来。她们终于乖乖睡下，而我在黑夜里挂念着新新。儿子，你好吗？

　　女儿们只去了三天幼儿园，就说什么也不肯去了，告诉我幼儿园里有好多好玩的玩具，还有好多的小朋友，还学习新歌，认字，英语，她们要等哥哥回来一起去。她们充满期盼的眼睛望着我，还带有小小的挑衅。我讶于她们的执拗，耐着性子哄着她们，可她们却怎么也不肯答应。我沉下脸一手抱着一个，她们哇哇哭起来，妈妈骗人，说只要我们乖，哥哥就会回来，我们都听话了，可哥哥还是没有回来!

　　我的心猛地僵住了!压抑的眼泪再也控制不住，你们的哥哥，他和别人不一样，他永远学不会那些东西!女儿们为我擦着泪，会的，会的，妈妈，哥哥能学会的，我们会帮助他的!看着她们，我感到了做妈妈的歉疚，我只会一味逃避，以为自己很爱新新，却不如孩子们充满信心去面对。

　　门铃响，竟然是婆婆送新新回来了!几天不见，新新瘦了好多。婆婆无奈地说，这几天新新几乎没吃东西，也不肯睡觉，只一直哭，喊着妹妹，妹妹。她看了心里实在难受，不得已就送回来了。

　　女儿们兴奋起来，拉着新新的手，开始讲幼儿园的事情，还催促我为新新换最漂亮的衣服，他们要一起去幼儿园。

　　4

　　我找到园长，请求她让我的孩子们在一起。因为按照新新的年龄应该上大班，可他的智力水平还不如小班的孩子。当看到我的女儿们一边一个拉着儿子的手，并挥手和我再见的时候。我相信这个决定是对的，爱会为我们创造更多的奇迹。

　　每天从幼儿园回来，阳阳和月月都帮助新新复习一天学过的东西，而且不许我插手。我的女儿们是班里最出色的孩子，学什么都特别快，而且记得牢。我知道那是因为她们要教哥哥，所以格外用心去学习。从没看过比她们还有耐心的孩子，轮流一遍又一遍教着笨拙的新新，一个单词往往要重复好多好多遍，甚至梦里还在喃喃。每次新新学会了，她们就会欢呼起来，然后学着幼儿园老师的样子翘起大拇指说，哥哥你好棒，哥哥你真棒！而我的儿子，就看着妹妹，傻傻憨憨地笑着。

　　老师要求每个孩子学习写自己的名字，这对新新来讲简直是不可能的事情。可一个月后的一天，女儿们兴奋地拉着儿子跑来告诉我，哥哥会写自己的名字了I我将信将疑地看着儿子在纸上歪歪扭扭地写下两个大大的'新'字，尤其敖看到他们练习的本子，我小小的女儿们，竟然知道把哥哥的名字拆成笔划来教，好几个本子写着他们循序渐进的过程，我再一次被女儿们的耐心折服得泪流满面。

　　一天，我去接他们。走到教室门口，听到有个孩子喊着，你们的哥哥是个傻孩子！我一惊，连忙走进去。我示意正要阻止的老师，决定让孩子们自己去面对。只见阳阳憋红了小脸对那个孩子说，我的哥哥不是傻孩子，他是天使，他丢了翅膀，来到我们家，变成一个世界上最好的哥哥，他只不过还没习惯人间的生活。孩子们发出'哇'的惊叹声，你们的哥哥竟然是天使哎！老师含着眼泪搂过阳阳，对孩子们说，新新是我们班的天使，他会爱我们每个小朋友，还教会我们如何去爱别人。 回家的路上，我的心被女儿编织的故事激荡着。我问她们为什么那么爱哥哥，她们一起回答，因为没有哥哥就没有我们啊!忽地泪又盈满我的眼，原来她们已经牢牢记住了我的话，那么小，就学会了爱和感恩。他们是上天赐给彼此的天使，也是上天送给我最珍贵的礼物。因为他们，我才知道，做妈妈是那么值得骄傲和幸福！

Standing Out

To train the children brave enough to perform on the stage, we've asked whoever can sing in front of his/her friends and teachers, he/she will be rewarded.
At first, teacher asked for volunteering to come forward. Yew likes to present every time when teachers have the similar request; she is a keen performer.
Next, what a surprise when all the teachers see him standing up. YC is not the kind of like to show out. We all gave him a thumb when he stood up, going forward to the front. Though his singing has to be accompanied with his friends singing voices and support; but I do think that he's out standing today;)

圾啊！

他是要说：“垃圾啊！” 手里握着小小的枯萎小花，一面重复着 “圾啊！ 圾啊！”
搞懂了他说的话，我遂说：“帮忙找找垃圾桶，把它丢去垃圾桶里，好不好？”
随后他就起身前往垃圾桶的方向走过去了。看左、看右，看了好一阵子，终于找到了。丢了。
我在原地望着，边看、边笑、边默默鼓励支持。JC 有进步了。虽然说不正，可是他已会听指示，且把指示完成了也。
对2++的孩子而言，这并不简单哦。

why hurry?

I've been supervise Marc for his schoolworks about 1 week.
His mother keep complain that his homework had not finish yet though he was under my supervisions; his writing still messy and mistakes somewhere here and there.
he is a primary student, and I think that he should learn to discipline himself about his schoolwork. I don't really take out each and every of his books to check; but I asked him to check his books. It was my mistake, I trusted in his word the 1st time he said that he had already put all his homework in one side after I asked him to do so, it was my mistake too to allow his messy works that were done as in a hurry, and I was false I didn't make sure he checks each and every of his books every time during my supervision.
I've learn some 'lessons' from the past. Today onwards, I'll make sure that I do my part and he does his part.
"Do your work slowly, neatly and carefully; so that you can done it nicely without any redo. You can save your time and energy as well; don't you want these?"

a,a,a!

When he sees me, he knows that I'll be teaching them Chinese phonics on the day.
It's like a routine; even I didn't ask them to, but the reverse: he ask me to play him the "a,a,a!" songs (phonics songs).
Even they can't say the words, or sing them out completely, but I know they've learn them through their listening of the rhymes and songs.

Zhe tears my flashcard

You can guess why he tore my card. He was upset, angry.
Today he didn't join us in the phonics class. I thought he would like some games, so i asked him to join during the game session.
Unexpectedly, he still refused to join and he tore my card to show his anger.
I have to keep reminding myself that "never ever force the kids to do the things they don't want to do."
After school, we have Smart class. Zhe also not cooperate at 1st, but he was better temper comparing to the morning class. He read to me, and he finished his worksheet as well.Do you know what I deal with him? "Promise me you'll finish your work after you play the puzzle, okay?"

I like Smart Reader!

It was time to say "Goodbye".
We normally have Smart Reader Class after school, except Friday.
Kimi has her Smart class on Tuesday and Thursday. Since yesterday was holiday, This week she only attended a class on Tuesday.
After school today, she acted like normal Smart Reader days, ready to took her bag to class.
"Kimi, your grandpa is waiting."
"Oh.."
Then she reversed her steps to the gate.
"You've forget that today is Friday, isit?"
"I like Smart Reader class, teacher."
Hehe, I bet she likes my teaching of Smart.
I finally have a bit of confidence of my teaching;)

playing dough

We played dough today.
The kids like it so much,
And we got dirty hands.
The time to wash our hands. He 'cincai' washed and went away, and rushed for the slide.
I saw his hands, the dough still stuck in his fingernails!!
"Come, wash your hand thoroughly clean, then you may continue to play."
He still refused to.
"You know what... If your nail still stuck with dirty stuff, bacterias will bite your hand, your hands may get hurt and pain..."
"Ooo... bacterias bite."
After listened to my exaggerated explanation, finally he followed me to the washroom.

noisy vs quiet

Principal just back from a trip of visiting Kindergartens in Nanjing.
"The kids there are quiet, the teacher talks so softly even i can't hear it, but the kids can hear,"
"Why the kids here are so monster and devil here?"

"Who is your friend?"

"Al, can you tell me who are your friends?"
"My friend is my daddy."
"How about your sister? Do you friend with her?"
"No, she always scolds me."
"Your mummy is your friend not?"
"No, she always scolds me too."

chinese kiasu?!

we play 'giant' ball today.
"hold the handler of the ball, and jump, jump, jump."
not many of them dare to try it. They scared of falling down.
Teacher Chong described Chinese child as 'protected-child', because of parents scaring their kids hurt during plays, they don't have a chance to play variety of games.
The children themselves consequently become passive in plays.
Among our kids, Farah was brilliant. She managed to control and balance in a glance of time. There are only 2 Chinese tried. A boy and a girl. The girl is kind of kiasu lang. She tried after seeing all her friends tries. But she did good and careful. The boy is playful type. He has the heart to challenge himself, and not scares of falling. That's wonderful of him.
3 of them take turns to jump the ball. They jump, jump, and jump many times, again and again, getting more and more enjoy playing with it without tiring.

我是无赖

CY吵着我要到玩具室开音乐 - 他最爱的歌 - "恭喜"。
因为还在上着Number，所以我想尽办法delay他的要求。
“好。先kiss我这里。”
“不是这样的kiss，我要‘muak’一声的kiss。”
“另外一边也要个kiss。”
“嗯...”
"okay，等姐姐写完了字，我们就去。"

他差一点就等不下去了。为了圆他的梦，最后，I did what I had promised.

我以貌取人？

我所谓的以貌取人，是我发觉自己会对孩子们的偏心。
铠眼睛像娃娃般， 即使他怠慢无力，我还是爱对着他。
悦做事有条理，唯是他声响不断的声音，让我对他有骂有赞。
小特特的笑容可掬，即使是他犯了错，错都被融入笑容里了，我的心也随之被软化了。
还有很多的例子， 就是特皮的、特差的、特乖的等等印象较深刻。
至于那些样貌不出众的，都被我平平待过，没有特别的爱与不爱。

bang himself again!!

Yesterday he bang himself to the pillar, caused a big bump near his eye.
Today, already told him to be careful; and i kept repeating to him that he's not allowed to play outside.
He refused to take a nap, i knew he was tired.
He saw his brother opened the gate, he dash out like a bird getting free, and he can't see what was in front of his way. "Bang!" straight to the pillar. "Ooo... Told you."
He was quiet after then. I had him sat in front of me, in my arms.
"Are you sure you don't wanna have a nap?"
"I want now."
"okay, nap for a while while waiting for mummy,"
an he fell asleep in my arms with his sitting pose.

行为结果

让孩子体会“自然与逻辑的行为结果”是最好纠正他们不当及问题的行为。尤其是固执型的顽皮，我会觉得是他活该的。
Gareth今天糊涂乱撞了好几次。
无端端跟在我后面，结果自己跌倒了。
母亲来接他的前几分钟，整个周围都变得静了，事有不妥：原来他和朋友玩得疯狂忘形，撞向石柱！ 整个脸侧明显一条痕。他没哭；反而母亲心疼透了：“不该给他玩啊！... ...”
难道把他困在室里会比较好？

She is scared of friends

While I was bathing another kid in the bath room, she suddenly cried out and came to me, "teacher, he beats me, I am scared of my friends." I asked her to be at the front of the bathroom so that I can have an eye on her.
I know the other kids, they're naughty sometimes, but they won't beat their friends without reasons. She's a nice girl, and she is the only girl among them; they tried to be friend with her; but she is scared of them; i still can't figure out what's the real reason, why she is scared, are they always bully her? Or she needs some times in meeting with friends and be socialized? Is there any other reason behind her anxiety?

we have rings

Elyn and I were talking about our necklaces, "teacher, I have money; you don't have," what she meant was the necklace we wear. "Yours is loving ring." Surprised me to heard her saying about "loving ring". "Why u know it's loving ring? Who teach you the words? Your papa mummy have loving rings? ......" I kept asking, but I still longing to get the answer. She only smiled.
I wear a rosary ring actually.

puzzle vs child development

Wong is excellent in playing jigsaw puzzle; he has full attention and concentration playing with it.
I thought playing puzzle might help in kid's development; but in his case, study is absolutely a hard task for him; logics and tactic in puzzle plays seem don't help a little bit. How come??

she don't want to let go of me

Last time when I used to teach her; she liked to play around the class, go around the class, and even bit me from my back.
Today I was assisted in 5-year-old class. Al like to sit with me; directly, because of my existence, she had no concentration on teacher. When i tried to go away, she grabbed my hand tightly and don't want to let go until she accepted my explanation.

小姐又闹情绪了

她还是看不开，不能和弟弟共融；今天又不爽弟弟霸占一些些排卡位； 闹情绪，乱扔东西，被我骂了一下下就豪声大哭起来。弟弟反而学会体谅，帮忙把姐姐乱扔在地上的卡捡起！小特特，你好棒哦！！

Aqa 'finally' got wet

1st meeting among teachers i had already heard a funny story of him. maybe he still not 'comfort' with our tadika toilet. Even when teacher took him to the toilet, 'shh...' him also useless, ask him got any urine not, he even moves his 'bir-bird', but he always shake his head and says, "tak ada ..." whole days of school, he never urine.
Today he finally urine and wet his shorts in school.

he can recognise them...

just not the time to say them complete yet.
He got all numbers correct.
1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10;
one, two, three, four, five, six, ..., eight, nine, ten!
This 2+ Nono can say them out correctly even after i randomize the numbers.
but, do u know why he can't say out 'seven'?
He's still a '1 word' child. saying all things short, just a sound.
He was trying hard to say out 'se.. ven' at last.

Guess what 'ple' stand for? it stands for "principal" :)

what to do when kids get moody?

nothing. do nothing is the best thing to do.
today the sister-brother couple fight again because sister don't wanna share her book with him. at first the sister pushing all stuff away and started to cry. Followed by the brother, get moody and cried too. I tried to comfort them and explained to them. nothing helpful, she even cried louder; he was pushing me away.
Never mind, i said to myself; my voice can't 'fight' with their cries. Just let them be. Definitely my class was having disturbance.
Miracle happened a minute later... both of them stopped crying and played together again!!

“老师，我怕怕。”

“老师，我怕怕。你不要走！”
问他怕什么，他说他怕teacher。
他的class teacher 是印度人。Teacher 不曾打骂他啊，他到底怕她什么嘛？
是肤色不同恐惧症吗？
我想到这个的可能性，是因为即使是我们大人，多多少少也会对皮肤的区别，及与我们日常生活里接触的人，作出肤色的比较。

when a child refuse to cooperate 18 Feb

today i have 2 cases of this.
can tell that b4 the moment of child refuse to cooperate with me; something was happened. He gets frustrated when i scolded him for the same repetitive mistake; she refuse to read to me after I stopped her colored messily.

playhouse disturbance

i dislike playhouse putting near our study area or classroom.
偏偏principal had her kindergartens as this condition. She said, "No choice."
last time i was out of control of students going out to the playhouse during the study time. This time is the same; some more they're not "going out", but it is just beside the classroom.
Last time i used cane. This time i use "Time-out".
"Time-out" is not an effective way either.
放过他们吧! at least they read my words, at least they joint in once a while.
no harms, let'em play;)

nono child

this little sweety is a "nono" child. everyday he comes to school with tears. and the only word that he uses most frequently is "no". so i name his nick as "nono".
today is my 1st day teaching him. i can feel that he likes me, though last times he used to avoid me. he's a smart kid. he can recognize colors and numbers. Guess his age... .. he's only 2++.
and i also discover that he'll shout when he gets excited.
huh... not only him; my bigger 'gangs' react the same.
Why kids would shout when they get excited?

Good morning or Goodbye?

"Good morning, teacher," a student said to me when he came to school in the morning; also, the moment i about to drive to another school.
then Bryan told him, teacher about to leave now, you should say "goodbye" and not "good morning".
He got the point;)
but he neither said "good morning" nor "goodbye" to me until i 'force' him to.

小朋友，看得细致！

i fetched my students back today.
arrived her home; after she close the car's door, she knocked me through the window, and pointed inside my car.
i kept looking the area that she pointed. nothing wrong.
but she kept pointing, n i still dono what was wrong.
until she finally gave up.
i watched her going inside her house. then i checked for the last time.
"Oh..." it's my car's bin's lid. They like to play with the lid, and she forgot to close it today:)

CNY Mood?

most of the schools have holiday till today. but our school starts today.
Not many students come today. but my tuition class still on.
it was sincere to have parent dabao of nasi lemak for us --- teachers today. or else, i would only have layer cakes until 2pm.

Complaints again

it's not encouraged of spanking and yelling and scolding in teaching. No matter to children or youngsters or even everyone.
so, what's the best solution?
i tried to be their friend, but they climb on my head;
another teacher using the caning method, i did follow what she did, but it wasn't the best way of all, (beating them, hurting my heart and feeling guilty too);
another teacher that i heard her teaching, she can scream and yell, talking sometimes until hurt the child's esteem. This is the worst i think. but the children would be quite. (actually they're scared of her)
These are the environment i m in now. i need help actually, really. To teach the kids in a better way and effective way. Scare that later n sooner i'll be another misbehavior teacher.

自己跌倒自己爬

孩子跌倒了；您第一个反应是什么？ 多数都不忍心孩子受痛，会赶快扶他起来。That's how we pamper our kids.
还记得这首童谣吗？ “自己跌倒自己爬”
让他们学会自己站起来， 学会面对挫折和挑战。
今天不扶你，并不表示老师不爱你哦。

"Teacher..."

He is a boy that cries every morning when he comes to school. But after his mum leaves, he'll be okay.
Surprise to see him came to me, and called me.
Last time i tried to catch his photo, but he always had a crying face; now he finally smile:)

just leave him alone

Pan is slowed in writing. Chai is a fast writer, but moderate learner. He can't stand on Pan writing messily, and he erased all the writing that Pan has been trying hard to write.
'Can't you just leave him, Chai?' Pan already slow on his writing, and now even getting worse, he has to write all over again.

feeling awful

i was wrong. i spanked when i was angry.

Responsible

How the way of teaching the kids to be responsible of what they did?
One of the kid throw the crayon on the floor and he refused to pick it up and he cried.
The other one, she accidentally drop the things onto the floor, she refused to pick them up even I said to her gently and helped her along. I was angry of how she reacted to me. i picked them up. And straight after then, i turned to other kids and left her alone. I didn't response any words of her; i didn't join her in our playing.
She is a clever girl. She'll know what's the right thing to do next time.

Sister n Brother

sweet little 'couple' sister and brother have fights today.
The 3-year-old brother always must has his sister by his side. She even need to accompany him to toilet and anywhere even she can help nothing physically.
Today they fight. 1st they argued about some matter; and moment later their fists coming out. Brother said he don love her anymore, he don want to love her anymore. Sister said he's naughty, he should be punished.

it's hurt when u scold me

"I'm just a little child; i still have many things to learn and to discover."
"Please, don scold me when you're angry. It's hurt when u scold me."
Parents, teachers, we used to be a child when we were small. Even now, we know it very well that it's hurt when we've been scolded.
Pity she has been scolded because she dono writing. She cried silently. Only a few weeks after school reopen, she's new; what u expect?
It's not easy to teach a child from knowing nothing to knowing something; and it's even tougher for the child learning from nothing to knowing everything.
I can't paying my full attention to guide her all the time cos i still have a few others to look after to.
Felt sorry that i only have 2 hands, felt sorry that she has been scolded fiercely by a 'lion'.
Parents, hope u do care for your own child. Guide them and support them all the way for they'll be genius someday!

playful 4-year-olds

Kids are kids. They like to play.
Farah was upset today after i stopped the toys playing (after few minutes of playing time). I was tenderhearted, i let them played again, and we changed toys and games after then.

Kakak!

u know how super for us to expert in 3 languages. Nowadays, kids learn these 3 languages as early as during their early childhood education.
today we learn about Family. Teacher asked, "Who is this?", (showing the picture,) my 4-year-old shouts with confident: "Kakak!" yes, she got it correct, but in Malay.

why he treat me like this?

when i talk to him gently, he would become a lazy worm. Sometimes even play hide-n-seek with me during the lesson time. The more i use the gentle way, the more reluctant and not cooperative he would be.
Today i talk seriously to him, even shouted at him. i know not these that change his behavior; but the name of the other teacher that he scared of has been heard. He is disciplined enough today. He does his work all by himself and join in our circle as well;)

孩子 我在乎你

“从心规划 一日营” ---今天整天的课包括了亲子生涯规划、父母学习规划 及 父母理财规划。
亲子生涯规划 提的是与孩子及配偶的生活；
父母学习规划 重点是大人的时间都用去哪里了？是时候把时间找出来了。
父母理财规划 提醒我们开源节流，我们赚的钱都用去哪儿啦？
讲师们分享了他们个人的经历和生活，身教的重要。Children See, Children Do.

little cute naughty

This lil monster would kiss his fren, that's lovely; but a moment swift, he'll punch his fren in turn.
Guess how he treat me. He always treat me de latter 1.
He's a silent attacker. but he's cute when he speak. His voice is so soft n 'tiny'. n so far, i can hardly catch 40% of what he says.

c. o. c. o. n. u. t.

This was a fingerplay i teached the 5-year-olds last year (jus a few minutes time). They'r 6 now. n i'm grateful that they still remember it;)

Thunder

i'm scared of thunder. n so do many of the little ones.
Dickson's heart beats was triple faster after frightened by a loud thunder.
He was not the only 1. They ran to me all at once, but he was the one still stayed in me after the thunderclap.

"Teacher, u'r cute" >.<

those'r the words from my age 6 student during the 1st lesson of Phonics in Tadika Satria. it's like the warm welcome to me. I smiled, as well as smiling in my heart.
