First observation for the trainee today. I didn't want to make her life as a 'soon-to-be teacher' like hell and so I sweetly and kindly (duh!) told her I was escorting her to class. She was more than prepared to battle the odds in the class with all those colourful, attractive teaching materials with her that got the students glued to their desks. They were extra obedient, extra hardworking, and extra attentive! She got the students down to do summary while I, on the other hand, attempted to look busy scribbling comments and putting down that number. My designated task was done in matter of minutes and my mind was begining to wander elsewhere (ha!).
And sooo.....to keep myself within the boundaries of observation/evaluation, I pen down the contents of the article "A Good Lifestyle" which was given to the students.
1) Have a good exercise. Don't just exercise but throw in the element of fun and you will enjoy it more.
2) Take up challenging and stimulating activities as it adds zest and excitement to your life.
3) Listen to good music.
4) Some people risk their lives a great deal by rushing around on a daily basis. Stop and enjoy a cup of coffee or watch a sun set or even smell a rose.
5) Have a good dose of laughter and thought.
6) Fill life with the things that matters and not with things that come from a store.
7) Set your priorities right. There will always be time to clean the house but you may not get the chance to see a rainbow.

haha, lola... that was a nice article that the teacher gave to her kids... i like the last one about missing the rainbow... so true...
agree trix...n the thing about rainbow...sometimes the kids would tell their busy mom that they spotted a rainbow. Mom would simply nod and continue doing house chores. "Mommy don't you want to see the rainbow?" would stop awhile n remember this article...so I would be out just to see it...
