Glad that we're finally in week 10. That means, next week is the March break. Cross country's over, my house, 3rd. Very happy for G because after so many years of low morale, her house has been crowned Cross Country champions.
Keying in of marks this time round was a breeze. Somehow I managed to set deadlines for myself and my students such that I will not be in a super rush (as I used to always be) when it was time to get the marks keyed into the school cockpit system to get them processed for the report books. I had all my marks checked and signed the week before it was due, and had them all nicely uploaded into the cockpit ahead of time. So proud of myself. But I think it's mainly because of a slightly reduced load due to the teaching of music.
Teaching music is.....a good and bad thing. Good thing is that, there isn't heavy marking and tests. Bad thing is, sometimes, it just becomes discouraging to teach it because students just aren't keen to pick up the instrument. No matter how hard you try, they seem to be engaged in some other activity which they find it more meaningful than picking up the instrument that you're trying to introduce to them. 4 WHOLE WEEKS i've spent teaching a class how to play ONE song, and they still cannot play it. *sigh*
Tomorrow is the basketball B division finals, and my school's playing! I'm excited to watch them in action, always feels good to be there to support my school. Will talk more about it soon.
Back to marking...
