newbie blue

a newbie came today... with his kakak.
2++ boy, still in the beginning of learning how to talk.
It's hard to communicate with him. It's hard even when i try to talk to him, i just heard him yelling, but not even a word from him.
he played around; and finally got him to rest for a while during the snack break; later then, i saw him asleep in the class.

Seems like he needs a lot of efforts to get use to our school environment if he's in.
直觉告诉我：有kakak的小朋友比较难会照顾自己。(

差一点...就到了... 却还没到

rubenesh 今天没带pampers，睡午觉了，我们都很担心他不但会尿床，还可能会poo-poo.
真的如所料发生了：
孩子们陆陆续续地起床了；他还是睡得很甜。
过不久，在玩的dickson & xiang 笑他没穿裤，站在门口。“一定是他尿床了；还是他要上厕所，所以自己把裤脱了。”我心想...
遂我带他到厕所。 哇！大便这儿一坨、那儿一坨！！
他尿床了。 过后，应该是要大解、又急得不得了， 还没到马桶， 他就“一路上”解决了。

好懊恼，为什么他没带pampers? >.<

he laughed out loud

it was napping time. suddenly i heard rubenesh laughed out loud. This could probably awaken all the others! So i took my steps to the room. Yes, all had awoke, n i beat his mouth cos i already warn him again n again not to shout out loud.
Since all were awoke, so i get them to continue their homework and colouring. he's the one that still standing outside, near the playhouse.
After i settled the elders doing their homework, i turn to him and asked, "u berak?" he menggeleng kepala (mengeleng kepala, for indian, means --- 'already') "huh?! do u want to go to toilet?" he still menggeleng kepala, and answered, "yes." Indeed, he told the truth, he poo on his pampers.
Now i know why he laughed out loud. Maybe he wanna tell his friends he poo, and he knows his friends will laugh at him, so he laughed for himself first. i've misunderstood him.

恶人不告状

hx always bully yx, not only yx, but almost every friends that play with him.
i assume his parents and family know how his behaviour, because they are those that closest to him.
but i always heard principal said that his parent complained, complain about somehow teachers beat him, not only hand, but his body.
I don't know about other teachers, but for me, if i see any bully incidents he makes, i'll sure scold him and warn him, for the serious cases (scratch his friends, push his friends until fall down 'bong' the floor and so many more) I'll beat; his hands are naughty, so i beat his hands, no else where. I beat with my hand, not rotan, even my hand feel the pain, but he had no rasa. And he knows, why i beat him.

父母，小朋友不止与大人接触，小朋友与小朋友之间的接触也难免会有身体之间的磨擦、会有口角、跌倒，甚至打架，就像大人啊；这自然法规难道您也要担心？ 太过受保护的孩子，会有机会学会人情世故吗？几时他们才会自立自理？ 让他吧，放手吧！由他去飞。

3 years old are keras kepala betul! 有了他们，多了笑声，也多了很多气。

再喊、再骂... 有用吗？

对于教孩子，用喊的、骂的，你认为管用吗？
其实明明知道是不管用，且会伤害他们小小心灵+自尊； 今天，我却又喊破了喉咙，为的只是要他把语音分清楚。
其实他们只上了两个月的课，能够认得完整的26个字母，是不错的了。 难倒我要他们一步登天？

生病的好

“昨天你没来上课，谁照顾你啦？”
“哥哥去上学，mummy去做工；daddy在家陪我。”
“那，daddy不就只看着你睡觉？？”
“没有啦。 上网、还有和我玩card。”
“玩card这么好？你生病都不用休息吗？”
“嗯。”
“玩什么card呢？”
“pokemon card.”
“哇！ 生病真好噢！可以和daddy玩card。”
“嗯！”

kids are all about routine:)

my 4-year-old start learning to share in this 1st year of schooling.
Most of them are self-center in the beginning.
Today , we played water-filling. As usual, we make a circle before the activity.
wa , as his leader personality, he conducted: "到你!"... "到你!" (your turn now.) They know how to take turn and play instead of overbearing all the time. Although sometimes, some of them forgot when's their turn, but others will try to remind each other;)

pity sick kk

morning, he was doing great! He read, he played actively with friends, he played quietly on his own.
Everything seems great, so I treat them with a small chocolate bar. I never expect something worse happened so soon after that...
kk felt tired during the shape-puzzle play. His lunch jus about 3-4 spoons to feed. Then he went for an afternoon nap.
The time i brought the other 2 babies to nap, i saw he awoke, with his sobbing eyes.
"What happened?"
"I'm scared to sleep alone."
"ok, now we're here with you."
He still sobbing...
"What happen now?" His forehead was burning, he has fever.
so I took a wet towel to cold his forehead. He seems feeling very sick. Babies all slept, but i still heard him sobbing.
He asked for mummy to fetch him to see doctor.
I bring him out of the room, he started to cry out loud. His throat was pain as well, and 'burning' too.

He was reluctant to sleep after then. This is the 1st time i saw him struggled， groaned n cried loud in his sick. He just wanted his mummy.

上下不得

xiang爬上了playhouse篱笆，我和他也同时在聊着、聊着...
"林老师，阿xiang下不到。" 他下不到playhouse里； so, 我就建议他爬回出来... "阿xiang回不到。"
他上下不得， 我站在一旁：哭笑不得lol!!
"林老师，抱阿xiang呵... ..." 他快顶不住了... 快要哭了。

hair?

kk and tt had the same answer for this:
"what is this?" I showed them their fallen eyelash and asked.
"hair."
"oh no, the 'hair' from your eye?" (lol)

their eyelashes even longer than their hair!

第一次

这个星期，是他们第一次听我准备给他们的舞曲。歌曲好像比我预料中快了百倍，他们没一个跟得上节奏，感觉有点乱七八糟。 希望是第一次的原因吧。他们会越来越熟练的！ （我不想assign给他们mission impossible, 告诉自己：他们能的！）
看来，这次我给自己的任务，真的是挑战他们，也挑战自我哦。

telling all

Edward tak sengaja menyakitkan cy. These were the reactiosn she had:
she cried for mummy; said that edward hurt her. I've asked him to apologized, but...
then she ran to teacher Chong, cried out and told that edward hurt her. then teacher Chong asked edward to say sorry again. then...
she ran to teacher Maria, cried out and told about the incident.
She just want to tell everybody about it.

special visitor today

today came a special visitor - a university student, for her project, observing communication among teachers and children.
No much they felt awkward about the visitor, but her flashing camera might has some effects on their curiosity.
Actually i'm glad, cos finally someone else are taking the photos in our kindergarten besides me, n i finally can be in the camera as well ^0^

leader

wa is very helpful (sometimes).
Today they were helping up to move a table. wa was acting like a leader, screaming to give instructions to the others, and together with the others, they move the table back to position, just nice;)

dicriminate?

kids would also discriminate among their colours?
"hold hands, make a circle."
Then I saw Jasmine refused to hold hand with Rubenesh, even I was trying hard to force her to.
"Why? you are not friends? hold hands with your friends now!"
but it just won't work by forcing.

Last time zn had the same problem, didn't like R much. A single touch from R made her feel annoying.
I'm not sure, because of R is naughty or color discriminate. In my eyes, R is adorable, with his big eyes and intelligent look. He is keen to learn, regardless that's right or wrong example from his friends.

incredible imagination!

"ok, now, close your eyes, and listen to the music. Tell me what you can here in the track afterward."
I play a 'cartoon mixing sound effects' to them...
"What you can hear? tell me anything u heard."
"I heard running sound..."
"cock, coo.. coo..."
"roster sound."
"then, what happened after that?"
"the hen, the hen chase with the roster..."
"then?"
"they run."
"they run faster and getting faster. And then?"
"both fall down."
"bong..."
mmm, the whole story was just came out! fantastic, my 4- and 5-years:)

xiang ah xiang

2 xiang played together at the playhouse.
Suddenly heard yx cried, and came toward principal.
"hx scratch me..."
hx has these bad habits, scratch ppl, push ppl, tearing ppl hair, and like to grip ppl as tight as he could.
How could I not beat him?! Ok, though, he's cute and sincere when he talks and smiles at you.

admit

cy pushed her friend while playing. I warned her. She did again. Then I got her out of the circle. She went away, to the corner, alone and sobbed. When i went nearer to her, she sobbed even louder. So I left her alone.
"She know she did wrong. But she just don't want to admit it."
