One week at Q-dees

DAY 1
(Monday)

Yesterday was my first day as an Assistant Teacher at Q-dees in Hartamas. I'll be helping out till Friday of this week.
I tell them stories, sing songs for and with them and help them out with their activities.
When the classes end at 11.50a.m., some of them stay a little longer for day care. I only leave at 1.30p.m. so this is actually when we bond with the kids.
Today was really good given my lack of tolerance for noisy, messy children.
I met some interesting characters.
Valencia Grace Denley, Kayla Joy and Jesher Levin are siblings - very adorable. Valencia only ate when I removed the potato cubes from her soup and Kayla didn't like rice. Jesher was the over-protective bother.
Then there was this lovely 3-year-old Heidi! She looked like Dora the Explorer (no kidding!) and was very intelligent and slightly pixilated. When I was just about to leave, she sat on my lap and asked me to bring her home with me.. She never fails to surprise me with the things she says ever so gently, a tiny voice.

DAY 2
(Tuesday)

Today was more fast-paced. There wasn't much time for boredom or annoyance.. I met newer characters today but none as interesting as Heidi. At daycare, Heidi refused to eat anything but soup, and that amounted to almost nothing. She asked for bread and when I got her some, she said she hated the strawberry jam. I couldn't do much but she was sure as hell mad at me when I paid more attention to Valencia who was littler than herself.

DAY 3
(Wednesday)

Heidi was acting a little hinged today, probably dotty about some imagination in her head, like always. She was running around boisterously, belching away thinking it was amusing. She shoved the French Toast that her mother had given her in the morning, cried for someone else's biscuits and crawled underneath the tables.

DAY 4
(Thursday)

Thursday wasn't too rich in significance. Played with the girls after lessons and that was about it.

DAY 5
(Friday)

It was the last day. The orientation period was over and lessons commenced. I had a wonderful time with these kids. It is sure as shooting that I will miss these kids a great deal.
