angelic relocation...
I'm very proud of how my kids behaved last Wednesday when they were suddenly relocated to the Art room. I have to admit that I was rather moody that morning. The news came rather sudden, though I understand circumstances are hard to predict. I was upset knowing that I would most probably miss my EL lesson. It didn't help that we had to attend a total waste of time event the day before.
Upon checking out the Art room, I was pretty much lost at first, seeing how small the room was. I have the biggest class of 41 but I was given the smallest room. I had to cook up a way to fit my babies in the small space, which I did.
What soothes my frustration and day was how angelic my kids were throughout the whole process. I expected complaints and all sorts of nonsense, but interestingly, they comply obediently. I shed new light about them that day.
When I requested for 7 boys to volunteer carrying their tables over, it was done in seconds. The
girlz waited quietly outside while the boys took initiative to help set up the classroom. They were sardine-packed yet they did not utter a word of displeasure.
I told them how proud I am of them, and I sincerely meant it. It might be trivial matter, but it meant a lot to me - to know that my kids can behave and adapt to unfavourable situations.
although i cant help but to wonder if they had behaved that way because I stepped into class and said, " I'm not in a very good mood today. Don't mess with me."
hmm... ~scratch head~
