Kay, this week has been busy with a lot of different things happening, on top of taking care of the usual three little guys (Aika-10, Sophie-9, & Yuki-8) every afternoon.
I was asked to move my classroom into another room (next door) by this week as they wanted to change the classroom that I had into a play room for the younger kids. (We've got 6 little kids under the age of 3.)
Anyway, here's my new classroom set up ...the shelf looks a bit over crowded, but that's only because I'm not finished purging books and stuff... You understand... :)
So, yes...I'm still a teacher/caretaker for three cuties. I'll post some recent photos of them when I get the chance. They usually come home from school around 4:00pm, and that's when I take them till dinner (7:00pm). Our usual schedule is, Home work from 4~5, English School from 5~6, and then Word/Bible class from 6~7. There are days when things change...however, I'm so impressed at how these kids can do SCHOOL and STUDY practically the whole day!Course, now that it's summer, they are able to swim and do a lot of P.E. type of stuff at school which is great! I try to make things as inspiring as possible for them so they don't get worn out with all this headstuffing. :)
Pray that I can be a good teacher and continue to give these three children what they need physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. :)
hey nice classroom! You make a fine tutor jan, that age group requires alot of energy so you're doing swell :D.
ReplyDeleteThey sound like realllly good students, coming home from school to study more! I'd go nuts if I were them. Summer should be a welcome break and for you too hehe.
Whatchya do in the mornings?
Your book shelf is so empty compared to mine.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how your students do it. The saying, "All work and no play makes a dull child" something like that, is so true to me. Aislinn gets so grumpy and moody when homework is piled on.
Note to Crys: GOOD FOR YOU! RESPECT!
Well, at the moment my work in the mornings are pretty irregular. My main goal for the next two months is closing down the Education Department Office as we are no longer in the business of that. It's a huge 3 room office filled with a bunch of historical things such as fossilized scrap papers and cardboard boxes and videos from by-gone days. Purging and clearing out that office will take a miracle!
ReplyDeleteOther than that, some mornings I take kindergarten aged kids. I'm hoping to get a part time job after these things are taken care of. :)
