Tough Weeks

The last two weeks of Term4 had been tough, very tough… physically and emotionally.

During second last week of school, straight after the end of concert… the teachers were still on top gear, cant relax yet as there were year-end thingy for us to settle.

At the end of year, we have to return to children:
(1) Worksheet - English & Theme
(2) Worksheet - Math
(3) Portfolio
(4) Observation report
(5) Photo CD

That's for per child so for me, I have to prepare for 51 children.

Compilation of worksheet 
English, Theme, Math
After ensuring all marked, we got to sort accordingly before we staple.

Portfolio 
The toughest I guess
We have to make sure each child has a specific numbers of activity sheet done over the entire year, (10 English & 5 Math activity sheets) then mark, compile, check and staple.

Observation Report
We have to “rate” each individual child accordingly to the different areas. And as this is the end of school year, we also have to write a short summary of the child’s overall performance. All done manually. 
*numb hands*

Photo CD
From the many photosssss taken throughout the year, we have to see see look look and sort them according to individual child. And after ensuring the child has the photos of all six learning areas and certain quantity, we got to burn them into CD.
 
After three nights of ending work at almost 8pm, 9pm and 10pm… finally done with all. Really no joke. Sat until backache. 

Maybe some will ask why didn’t we start earlier or why didn’t we do here and there throughout the year.

Seriously not because we don’t want to but really because we cant.
Either we are too busy. Trust me, I mean it… cause everyday has everyday stuff and every week seem to have new things or that there are just some we cant do it till school year ending. 
That’s for physical tough part.

As for emotional tough part, is a long long story which I don’t know where and how to start. There were days I stepped out of school with teary eyes and cant believe there was one night I cried myself to sleep. But no worries, the fact that Miss Lim is blogging = she is recovering and picking herself up again. Slowly, but surely. Out of all the kindergartens I been to, this is the only kindergarten that got me in so much tears.
