My love affair with 50 kids.
This was kinda how it happened:
Sept 11 - ok....
Oct 11 - get me out of here, quick
Nov 11 - Feb 12 - get me out of here, NOW!
Mid Feb 12 - the kids might be alright after all.
March 12, Math Night - wow. the staff actually work together for something for the kids! i like the staff!
March 12, student vs teacher v-ball - the kids are alright after all!
March Break 12 - when are we going back to school?
After March Break - there's only 3 and a half months with the kids?
April - oh no. I won't be seeing the kids after June.
May - only 1 more month left? What am I gonna do without them?
June - *sob*
Today - I love you all.
Moments that I will remember - gd AND bad things:
Train's Class:
- VJ's constant chatter, my constant "VJ stop.", his stopping and guilty look, and the restart of the whole thing 5 secs later
- attitudes! all those "Oh why can't we get Ms. M. back?"
- line ups and ppl always standing at the back of the portable (for whatever strange reasons!) I'm so hated at my other school cuz I got them to practice line up during recesses, lol!
- all your "Ms Tam, ___ did this to me!"s
- Ms. A's fan at the back of them room
- crazy hotness on EQAO days and looking at you guys working so hard under the heat, and feeling really sorry for you
- beautiful singing
- "you're going to miss us?" in a very surprised way.
- "you hate us don't you?" in a very casual way.
Rudd's Class:
- constant talking, from the whole class, that drives me crazy every single time/ day/ minute.
- ppl leaving the room WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!
- hostility!
- Mr. J beatboxing to the ABC song
- My yelling at Mr Y and some other ppl yelling back "Oh wow even Y's getting in trouble!" (lol I don't even rememeber what happened)
- "All is well" from Mr A. Out of nowhere. And how you guys reacted afterwards
- George Clooney!
- Andy Lau!!!! (and Mr. Y ALMOST guessing my age! that was close lol!)
- the moment when someone from the third row (either Mr A or Y) asked why I was going back to HK in Feb, how I hesitated for a sec and decided to tell.
- ppl who never want to leave the room at the end of the day
- training certain individuals to sing
Both:
- G. B. A.!!!!!!!!! you guys are crazily good!
- students vs teachers v-ball game: i would have been cheering out loud and screaming were i not a teacher. i get VERY animated and loud when watching sports. i really regretted not playing then, and kinda told myself that I would so do it if the chance arises, which happened when we had....
- students vs teachers b-ball!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg luckily I got 1 in!!!!!! if not I'd really need to dig a hole and hide myself!
- how crazy some of you are (lol)
- how you guys made me laugh, and how I tried to hold on to my poker face and failed.
- after school singing practices
- all your performances. I was gonna give you guys an air kiss but for whatever reason that didn't happen, lol!
- bowling trip. sadly no pics were taken =(
- talent show
- grad! =')
- watching you guys playing on the field was the best out of all =)
Must have missed some. I'm too tired from all the emotions experienced today. I'll add them as I recall them. What are the 2 or 3 things that you guys will remember?

Today; tomorrow.
Seeing my kids all pretty and handsome is the cutest.
Seeing them coming up onto the stage one by one, graduating grade 6 is the most satisfying.
Having them sing for me for one last time is the most bittersweet.
Seeing them enjoying their time with family and friends is the happiest.
Knowing that I probably won't ever see them again after tomorrow is the saddest.
Saying bye will be the toughest.
And the weirdest is, I don't even know why I love them so much.

BEST. AFTERNOON. EVER!!!!!
Well, almost =P cuz my kids have stopped listening, and I had to leave early for my AM school's gr 6 farewell, which I shall not talk about for now. lol.
But anyway!
To begin with, it was already unimaginable for me to be teaching PHYS ED. It has been a joke with all my friends who've known me for some time. Never been sportive and didn't even take gym since grade 10, let alone doing real sports - the closest would be my playing badminton with friends back in jr high school and watching tennis on TV. If anyone'd asked me one year ago to play a match with kids at school, I would have been laughing my head off and thinking that I was listening to some weird language.
But today, oh man. I'll have to be a VERY lucky person to be back at a school where I feel comfortable enough in front of my kids and peers to do something so crazy. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! So much fun!!! I was so worried that it wouldn't work out, for my classes were not supposed to be watching the afternoon match; but because of the very flexible staff it worked out perfectly!!!
It was so scary at first but then I think the competitiveness got the better of me =P When I double checked the list of kids I almost fainted - it was like all the kids I've cheered for in GBA and suddenly I have to do a blood bath with them!? - so lucky that half of the other awesome players got to play in the morning cuz if not I'd be pwned so badly! I don't remember much of the actual game - just a lot of running around like a fly, busily doing I don't even know what - so obvious I don't play =P BUT I GOT 1 SHOT!!!!!!!! lol proudest moment of my basically non-existent sports career! hahhaha I'm so proud of myself =D I think there are tons of things I could have done better, but hey, that was my first time playing a match =D And my kids said I did ok!!! lol maybe some of them can teach me how to do it better for next time - if that ever happens!
Oh man, so much fun. So glad that self proclaimed "excellent" and "intelligent" kid of mine nagged me about it last Friday after school =) Thanks kids - you guys gave me the courage to do something as crazy as this - and I know that if I didn't do it, I'll regret it for a really, really long time. Like, a few years. I might have looked so silly but who cares! It was a kind of fun nothing can compare to =)
Yay!
