As I am really happy to become a kindy teacher in Nemo class, I decided to type my thoughts. I wanna keep this enjoyable moment. My kids always said, “Tr. Pei, I love you“ with a hug. When I was about to leave the classroom, kids hold my hands pulled my legs, and said, ” Tr. Pei, don’t go!” My answer was, ” I will see you tomorrow, I promise.” Once in the class discussion, kids told my CT, ” Tr. Pei is so sweet and caring.” Then, they asked me, “Tr. Pei, you are an elementary teacher, but you are not shouting. Why?” My reply was, “Do you want me to shout at you?” “I don’t wanna shout.” “I choose not to shout.” In my class, their reaction was “Tr. Pei, Tr. Pei, Tr. Pei”. (They enjoyed doing so, calling their teacher.) The most common sentence in my class was, ” Tr. Pei, I need your help. ” The napping time today, kids asked me, “Tr. Pei, can you sleep with me?” This was the sweetest thing I heard. I laughed…Then, R talked to the boy. I will sleep with you…Boy: No! R: …, so why could Tr. Pei sleep with you?

I do love my kids and I am lucky to have Rebecca as my partner who is also calm. We respect each other and she is willing to share her thoughts and experience. We believe in positive discipline and offer kids more opportunities. We value honesty. Our teaching philosophies are similar. We are cooperative. All these factors make me feel warm and all my efforts are worthwhile. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ By the way, my teacher-student relationship was never so closed like this and I am happy to become such a friendly and welcoming teacher : ) In addition, teaching kindy needs to make learning fun and activities succinct and this is why class prep is necessary.
