it's just past 10pm now... made a crazy decision to bring back all my Math workbooks today to mark over the holiday tmw... it is absolutely crazy. so heavy!
i wonder if anyone has ever tried weighing 1 Math textbook.. did a yahoo search for the weight of the Math textbook but of coz, there wasn't a successful hit.
luckily dar~ came and fetch me from work today.. else I'd be dead meat man..

oh ya.. back to my previous note about my adorable kids..

some evidences of their cuteness:

1)
We were so sianz going through the English revision paper... then we came across a question that says, "Kangaroo carries its baby in its pouch."
One child mentioned that koala bears also have pouches. After a short discussion, the class agreed that koala bears don't have pouches. Then suddenly, out of nowhere... a gal in my class said, "Doreamon also have a pouch!". I tried to ignore that comment at first.. hoping the rest of the class din hear it.. but alas! They heard it and the children agreed!
haha... I broke out in laughter~ couldn't stop myself.. the children are so cute... so... real.

2)
We read a cloze passage today and for one of it, the moral of the story was... "We will enjoy the fruits of our hard work."
I decided I should explain the meaning of the phrase to the class. But I thought I'd let them ponder over it first. So I got them to think about it's meaning.
A kid in class raised his hand excitedly. He's quite bright, so I called for him to answer.
He said, "It means.. if if... we work hard... then...we can eat the fruits when we grow up!"

Hahahaha.... I couldn't stop laughing!!! I had to illustrate it to the class.
I said, "So, does it mean that if I study hard now, I will get to eat bananas and watermelons when I grow up?!"
*The children were rolling in laughter by now*
I had to explain the correct meaning... so I said, "I studied hard when I was young and now, I'm enjoying myself, being happy and earning a living being a teacher.."
I felt an urge to add this on. I said, "and it does not mean Ms Du is eating bananas and watermelons now!!!"
hahahaha....

Sigh.. they are growing up so fast.. learning to be independent and learning to be friends to others... learning to make me less angry and happier... I love them... will miss them terribly if I don't take them as my form class next year...
