orientation,♥
went for orientation as mentioned. it ended pretty fast. lesser than 30 mins i think. didn't notice the time. met the principal for the first time. she looked like my previous job boss, and lucky thing is, i feel that she is nicer in person than over the phone.
i was surprised when i see someone whom i have seen before. especially during my seremban study trip. she too, also went for it. she is a course-mate of mine, from another class of the same batch in my school. i have yet to talk to her personally today. she has her own K1 class to handle. it appeared to me that she is working there parmenently, unlike me. from what i heard from my principal, i am sent there to prepare me for future new centres. to get the experience, by starting to work with younger children.
this time round, i'm attached to the toddler class. age 12-36 months? i'm not too sure either, but the age is roughly there. this is my first time working with such young children. and i was told to work with the infants this coming thur for a short period of time. i was exactly imagining myself to work with infants yesterday.
principal told me i am consider lucky because i have a teacher(mentor) to follow, unlike my course-mate. she has to start taking her own class when she started. frankly, i'm glad with the mentoring thingy, because i love learning from others since i dun have the experience.
after orientation, i was asked whether if i want to go home or stay for a while. i chose to stay for a while. hence, i was back with the toddler class. expected, the children didn't wanna hold my hand when i asked them to, bringing them out for outdoor play. this is usual for them as i am still a stranger to them. mentor warned me that the children bites in this class, expected that too. witness two cases while i was there just now.
just like during my year 3 first semester attachment, although my mentor is a english teacher, i followed the chinese teacher instead. this time round it was because of there is another training teacher around to help. she is following the class english teacher. felt a little crowded when i tried to stick to my mentor.
went to JP right after to shop for a pair of slip-on shoes. in the end, i bought two pairs. mum was already home when i reached home. update her about my job and told her about something that i felt was really embarrassing. i didn't know how to wrap a diaper on a child! i was so embarrassed just now when i first tried it. the cleaner auntie saw me having difficulties, asked the chinese teacher to help me in the end. whew!
this week will be working from 9 - 6.30pm shift. except on thur. not sure about next week though.
