*Warning SUPER long post ahead*
Today is my last day to beat Tanjong Katong Primary. Time seems to flies seems like not long ago when Joyce and I went to interview for the job as IT Trainers. Haha Joyce told me that she finds the job interesting if minus the teaching part LOL. I’ve learnt lots of things from the teachers and students in the school. Hopefully I can find time to visit them someday. I dragged a whole bag of chocolate biscuits and lollipops to school. I was planning to bring some gifts for the teachers and staff at the school. Guess I wore the wrong shoe for the wrong occasion. I was going around the teachers room to give them the thank you chocolate biscuits until I felt this oh so familiar feeling. Of all times my shoes decided to hurt like mad (I hate blisters!).
Have you seen so many lollipops on your living room floor before?
Yesterday dragged nadz to the primary 1 classes that I’ve taught to take photos with them. I was so sure I wouldn’t cry but seems like I wrong. First class was 1I, they were looking forward to their lesson tomorrow (which will be today) and the teacher told me that she haven’t told her class that I am leaving yet. This class was noisy sometimes but they will always do things that would surprises me. During the start of term 3, their IT lesson should have been completed. But Ms Normala (their form teacher) told me that the students had enjoyed my lessons and went on to ask their parents to feedback to the school and requested more IT lesson. I was so touched when I heard that. Never in my 1 year plus with that school had parents requesting for me to teach. Of course it was fun teaching them. There was this once when Mattheiu and Tessa were fighting over who I should help first. Haha I ended up being stuck in the middle of a tug of war (they were pulling me left and right until Ms Normala come over to stop them). Then there was this time when every one were asking Emma to help them. So cute to see her running around helping her friends while she sigh to me and ask “WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME???!!!”
Next stop we went to Ms Pauline’s class, 1J. They were a bunch of Primary 1 kids who were skilled in IT. I’ll just need to go through once and they can do what I had instructed. They were a breeze to teach (although I had to keep running around giving them stickers). When I step into the class they all grab me into a big hug XD so cute (Monica started it. Soon they all joined in and are unwilling to let go). It was then that I felt like crying.
So touched can T_T
The last lesson I had with them was a few weeks ago. Kekeke remember that day that they went to the new lab and were unsure on how to switch on the computer. John Henry shouted “I know how to on it. My home computer is the same!” Haha it was the first time which they are using the new headphones (it was one sided) and they kept asking me how to put it on or whether did they do it correctly. End up I went around and helped each and every one of them to put it on. So after the photo and as we were leaving I was telling myself not to cry : (. But they did something so touching my eyes started to get all teary. Ms Pauline was telling them that I will be leaving soon so the whole class said “Thank you for teaching us Ms Carrie and good luck with school.”
After going to all the Primary 1 classes, they were all asking why I am leaving. ; ( I am sad omg. They had always been a motivation for me after a tiring day but when their lessons start in the afternoon their smiles just make my day a lot more happier. I will really really miss them T_T.
Today before I left to go back to HQ, the students in 1I gave me a big surprise. I didn’t know that they had made Thank You cards for me. When I went to their class, Miss Normala told them to take out the cards and I went speechless. I was so touched to the point where I just stood there taking in all their cards and hugs while kept saying thank you over and over again. Aiman even went to the lab during his recess time to tell me “Thank You Miss Carrie for teaching me and being very patient with me.” I was really shocked because when he is in class, he will always refuse to do his task and would cry when things don’t go his way. A few of the students had forgotten to bring their cards (Aditya kept telling me sorry because he had left his at home and Anya was asking me when I’ll be back), so they said goodbye with a hug. I was reading through their cards awhile ago, and they brought tears to my eyes again. Never had I thought that one day, in the eyes of a seven year old I will be their favourite IT teacher T_T. I’ll try to put the cards online when I can get the scanner to work. Thank you for all the cards, I will treasure all of them :D
For the primary 6 students, I had fun following them around filming their video. Some of them were really funny. And some of them really show another side of them when they are committed to their project. I was really happy to able to teach them and help them realise their interest be it acting leading the group or cameraman. They were fighting over which group to get the camera first even though I told them every group would get one haha kids LOL. Although there were times where I had to chase after them to finish their work but was really happy when most of them were able to hand it in.
For the primary 2 and 3 students, they were an interesting bunch of people to teach. Every time when I read, I’ll always ends up laughing (“we need weapons so we can protect ourselves in case of a robot invasion”). But some of them really had shown their interest in IT (and I always promote IT club to them HAHA). Some of their opinions in their project works are really good (a P2 student even went as far as to get a thumbdrive so that he can save his file and continue it at home). And as usual epic things always occur in my class. There’s this boy who cried because his computer was too slow hehe so cute.
It had been a great experience teaching at there even though there are times where my task are so piled up that I felt like giving up. But I will truly remember that in this duration of one year I had left my mark in their memories. Really really want to thank the school for giving me a lot of opportunities to assist them in designing works (built up my portfolio that way). Now whenever I walk pass the school gate I will admire the banner that I had made for them. XD
Hmm guess like what Goon said I’m having withdrawal symptoms. But I will miss this routine of waking up every day going to school, teaching the students, eating bento with nadz at the canteen(miss the fruit vending machine also), teach the P1 and then quickly rush to the bus stop because my bus always arrive on the dot. But life move on. And with their well wishes (and cards) I will carry on working harder and maybe one day who knows maybe I’ll take up their offer and return as a teacher again.
