Been getting more stressed as we're slowly moving closer to the mths of preparing my K2 children for their Young Performers' Certificate with Trinity-Guildhall as well as their K2 Graduation. Thankfully, now instead on working with 2 different sets of performances I now need to work on a piece each with the differnt groups and then from there pick out some bits for their graduation. Whew!! Used to be 1 piece of performance for the graduation, where the whole class performs & then another poem piece for each child for the individual assessments.. can u imagine the hell I'll be thru'???
I just found out yesterday that instead of the inital 4 groups of K2 children I thought I'll be working with, I now have 5 because the assessments are done in grps of between 6-12 children & my 1st class has 14 children.. Aiyee!!! I've sent my possible pieces to my senior teachers but I honestly have no faith in what I've chosen... Kinda think it'll be too much for us to handle. So far I've got the ideas vaguely - Pirates, Supernatural, Adventure under the Sea, School Lilfe & Kinights and Dragons, just waiting to hear back. I left a note for my senior collegues saying that I think I'm in serious need of help as I'm a 1st-timer & already having to handle 5 grps just like that.. it's totally unnerving (@_@)
Since Tuesday I've spent about $130 on children's books and activity sets & before that, another $206 on more reference/children's books & puppets!! Since working at JGCL, I've been starting to invest on children's stuff as well as other children-related stuff, some have been for work-aid purpose as well. Heck, I even brought a reference book titled "The Baby Book"... LOL.. working with children & children-related stuff has certainly gotten me moving along the future planning line =p Some of my collegues have said that I'll be at least a little well-prepared... lol... but let's just see what unfolds for me.
Have had the confirmation for our places (my Bear & I) at the Catholic Engagement Encounter for June 8-10, which should be really interesting.. told him there'll will be many things for us to work out thru together & discuss on our own & that he'll have to sit & talk.. He likes to walk away instead.. Men.. blah.. Garry's also started his fulltime job (Finally!) It's been a 2 yr plus wait for him to search for one. That was one of my dad's requirements in my partner.. when the time for the course comes, wonder what I'll be saying to my dad, say I'm off for a camp? A chalet? Guess I'll cross that bridge when I do get to it. Now I just wanna arrange my expensive future investment & then curl up in bed.. I've been worn out superbly since Sunday: back-to-back classes frm 9.30am-3pm, 8.30am-12pm & 2-6pm on Monday, 11.30am-6.30pm on Tuesday, 9am-11am & then 12.30pm-9.30pm on Wednesday & now 8.45am-10.30am & then 1.30pm-6.30pm today.. Yes, I AM DRAINED & TIRED.. even after classes I still had to think of my K2 performance pieces, which has been adding extra stress... I just hope I can hang in there.
