Next year I'll be taking on a new class, a kindergarten class, which means more work and heavier responsibility as the children are moving closer to primary school and parents are all jumpy about that. I don't have much time to plan for my other 3 classes, because one is the youngest playgroup and so far no one has confirmed enrolment yet, one has been on-going and I have much confidence that it will be just fine, and one other because I don't have time to.
I've been working day and night for the past few weeks, just because workload is that heavy. Plus the boss came for a visit so extra time was spent having meetings and doing up other not urgent but important things. Grr. Anyways.
Adding on the fact that I kept forgetting that I'll be going away on a holiday for 3 days is really not helping. The coming weeks are packed with my vacation, public holidays, and school cleaning day, which means I'll have less time to prepare my class things. I'm going to burst.
In fact, I did burst. This evening during music time I burst out at my colleague. I confronted her for rewarding my child when he's not attending class. We're having music time and the kid doesn't want to join, he went to the other teacher and requested for a song and the teacher played the youtube video for him. That totally pushed my limit.
Perhaps deep down I'm angry because I always try to help out during other teachers class, but when it's my class all they do is go back to their computer minding their own business. I've had a long day, it's been really hormonal for me this week, I'm super stressed, but I don't think I'm in any good reason to be rude to my colleague. Sigh.
I'll just hope this period passes quickly. Come oh January, I've been preparing for you so please be good.
