2nd full day

Had my second full day of teaching today

Jona said he had a really great day! I'm so pleased to hear that 

And for Eva, she was saying that "I really like the kite you made for me, it's so pretty"

Oh my heart <3

Even though the kite does not look great to me, I'm happy it looks great to her 

Brunch in kindy =)

 Throwback to my first week of prac. The first photo was my Thursday breakfast and second photo was my Friday breakfast

It was my first time meeting the second group and they were just lovely =) L started by making me tea as I was playing with other children with puzzles, then a few of them joined in and brought me food, I suggested them to set them up at the home corner so it will be easier to eat =) and this is what they prepared, p/s A gave me a bouquet of flowers too! so sweet!

It was a moment that I felt so lucky and blessed as I actually woke up late that morning and didnt eat a proper breakfast and I was actually starving.

On Friday morning, the feast just got bigger! They said it's my birthday party! Okay dont mind to celebrate my birthday again! haha just look at the sophistication of their dramatic play in the arrangement of the table. I'm just amazed! It's really important to give children sufficient time to play and in this kindy play is truly valued and a lot of their play are really complex! Who said play is boring???

On a beautiful Sunday morning today, how I wish to go out for brunch but I am stuck home for my history unit plan due on Friday! Oh well, that's why I am writing this blog post to fix my craving. Back to work!

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday, not like mine xx

Something about nature

I have never considered myself a teacher who is passionate about nature

As a person, I do enjoy travelling and being out in mother nature, but never thought about nature based pedagogy

From my previous prac, I was actually really phobia of nature play because of some stress, and too many complicated factors, OH WELL THOSE ARE THE PAST HAHA

Now in my final prac, I am lucky to have the chance to reengage with nature based practices again and I have to admit I have been loving it so much!

And then on facebook I just saw a video about "Kids Are Surprised By Nature"

I always believe that what I experienced in life happens for a reason, I really feel this final placement will turn me into someone passionate about nature. Im excited for this learning journey!

I have too many 'real' encounter in my prac of the power of nature, but I couldn't share the children's pictures and tell the story..im now actually in the midst of assignment war so I couldn't spend time actually writing a long post about nature

oh well, but I just wanted to put this links about nature HERE first before I forget
