Thank God I survived the crying game!

Hundreds of preschoolers had their first day of school last Tuesday. I helped with the Thai teachers and I can't imagine how I endure the crying game! It really broke my heart seeing hundreds of preschoolers screaming, holding on to their moms or dad’s legs for dear life, refusing to even look at the classroom, much less walk into it alone. I wonder how would I react to that kind of playout if Hyzyd starts preschool. I don't want to think about it. What a pressure it will be!

Crying children is nothing new to the preschool teachers.They even require the parents to leave at exactly 8:30 am. It really does work. Nine out of ten times, the child stops crying within five minutes of the parent leaving. In some cases, if the preschool teacher can’t get the child to calm down, they’ll be in touch with the parents. I now have trust in their experience and know they have my child’s best interest at heart when time comes for Hyzyd to start preschool.

Today is a national holiday. It marks the 61st anniversary of the Coronation of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great. I'm glad to have this break so that I could start reading "Couples Who Pray" from BookSneeze. They sent me this book for free in exchange for a review on this blog. Stay tune with it. Also, I'm reviewing the booklet that the Bangkok Insurance Public Company Limited has sent me. I still don't know what policy to buy: the universal life insurance, whole life insurance or just the personal accident insurance? Hubby and I need some brainstorming plus your ideas!

Matching activity for Body parts

This is a glimpse of how I handle my class in Anuban 1 (3-year-old learners). It was taken last August 11, 2009. It's my first period. All the rest of the class were celebrating Mother's day while we're having our class and the teacher in-charge was not around maybe because she was called in the office and it's my first time to be left alone without the assistance of a Thai teacher. I'm just glad that the learners cooperated and they we're quite good. Impressive performance they've showcased today!

I let them match the same body parts to develop their cognitive skill and hand and eye coordination.

My preschoolers are learning the body parts

Presenting to you some of the preschoolers I have handled. There are 13 sections of Anuban 1 (3 years old) and 12 sections of Anuban 2 (4 years old). There are about 430 students from Anuban 1 and 470 students from Anuban 2. I just meet each class once a week so I see to it that they're learning and enjoying our class so that they'll not forget what they've learned from each meetings.

Anuban 1/12- Majority of them are wearing face mask because of the threat of Novel H1N1.
