My working week is over and I'm heading straight towards weekend. This weekend will be busy for me, I'm going to my choir rehearsal and then the day is done. Nowadays there is so little daylight that day seems to be almost like cut in half and it only gets worse still. The winter equinox is more than a month away and so is the change towards days getting longer again.
This week has had its ups and downs, these last few days have really brought a smile on my face. Its been busy and full of things to do but I have powered through and now I have this sense of relief and peace coming from within me.
There is something about children that is so special. The little ways they appreciate you as a teacher. And I, I am a teacher that is new, the one they don't know but somehow so far I have always managed to bridge that gap and get them on my side.
There is something heartwarming when they tell you that you are really good teacher and they would like you to come back. I know it might be only words, so simple, but I would like to believe that they are sincere. It probably sounds cheesy, but it makes me feel that my efforts haven't been in vain, because, speaking for myself, I really try.
Before I left the school on Wednesday, I was handed couple of drawings and I was also a recipient of a big hug.
These past two days I have been in a wonderful all-girls school.
The people there are so nice, I am absolutely lack of words and the children, how inquisitive and clever girls go to that school. I have seen them before when I past their school on the bus, how they walk to school or from school in their most adorable uniforms. ( Seriously, these are the cutest uniforms I have ever seen, blazer and dress, not forgetting those little hats with bows on it). Think about Madeline, exactly like this, only different colour.
I had such a wonderful time with those girls, all the questions they asked about out topics and life in general, were really a good starter for a deep conversation. And when they ask you in the end of the day whether they see you next week, you really want to say yes, but I actually never know if I am sent back. I truly hope I will have that chance.
And in case you don't know who is this Madeline I speak of, here is a little video.
Im off to enjoy my Friday evening with a lovely mug of strawberry-mint tea.
Enjoy my Madeline, Dear Void, and sweet dreams!
