Year End Celebration

# data[].attributes.body
Our attempt at stepping out of the box, trying new things/ideas. Sharing and learning with people, both internal & external

# data[].attributes.body
All new ideas/ skills that the team had share/ try.

# data[].attributes.body
First year taking back to back with new curriculum, needed to juggle teaching and classroom management. Some child matters too

# data[].attributes.body
Year-End celebration

Parent volunteers in events

MK Reads

# data[].attributes.body
New ideas and initiatives, especially in events. Tempo tuesday, movie day, k2 celebrates. It was accepted well by Ms Petrina and the whole team was supportive even when it gets tough.

-Children's Day Celebration.

This year Children's Day Celebrate

MK reads

# data[].attributes.body
All the events went well. Each event has its uniqueness which is different and very challenging.

# data[].attributes.body
• Guidance and support from fellow teachers, especially my partner!

# data[].attributes.body
Trying new things/modal for celebrations. (K2 Celebrates, Year-End Celebration, LIFE@MK, Tempo Tuesdays etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
While new initiatives were well supported, could get really overwhelming to keep up with everything all at the same time.

Some things should remain the same if impact is already met, should not have pressure for new models for every single event.

# data[].attributes.body
MK Reads - Well-Rounded Initiatives with Parent Involvement!

Mindsets - New approaches to celebrations, festivals done by our teachers.

Racial Harmony - Festivals done up by teachers from other races!

All of us went through a hectic year and supported one another throughout!

Working lift

Clean toilet for children, sometimes the toilet does smell or get clogged, not conducive for children

# data[].attributes.body
Number of events packed very closely to one another. On top of curriculum, having more to do (i.e. video editing/montage)

# data[].attributes.body
more time

more space to work through some things

support and understanding from colleagues (which has helped)

# data[].attributes.body
Overwhelming deadlines.

New models for almost all events (which is good) but teachers are struggling on the ground with packed deadlines

# data[].attributes.headline
As a newly joined teacher, I feel very gratified that the classroom teaching is going smoothly, the children are making progress, and I have the support of the parents.

New latecomers model is good. However, parents getting immune to it.

Plans to support teachers who are injured/left have been clear and supportive

K2 celebrates model helped ease transition programme as there was not alot of emphasis on performance rehearsal

New snacks were a good change

MK Reads was very consistent throughout the year

# data[].attributes.body
More time and more support

# data[].attributes.body
1st year taking BB, familiarising w the curriculum, collab with AWWA/ parents, organising field trip/events especially T4 when it was BB, classroom management and learning how to carry out lesson (which approach works best for the class).

# data[].attributes.body
This year in itself was challenging.

Back to back events/visitors

Deadlines

Carrying out back to back classes with other logistics and all other duties was very challenging

# data[].attributes.body
more time

constant communication with buddy and partner

understanding colleagues and CH

Glad to have gotten most of these!! <3

# data[].attributes.body
that it is okay to repeat models of event from previous year (work smart, not hard especially when there is a lot going on)

during mass or combined activities, teachers not presenting should be present too (take off the load from presenters)

# data[].attributes.body
Time

# data[].attributes.body
Went well:

MK Reads collaboration with PS, parents and NLB

Certain event new model (K2 celebrate, children's day, year end celebration etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
Finding strategies to face difficult parents and children. Back to back events and close deadlines were also challenging and overwhelming. (Also, our brown water event x_x)

# data[].attributes.body
More nice snacks and drinks. Also need more adult toilet.haha

# data[].attributes.body
Working with challenging parents and children can be both mentally and emotionally demanding. Have to often balance understanding the concerns of parents while advocating for the child’s best interests. Can be stressful, especially when dealing with misunderstandings or heightened emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
Expectations of parents

Above and beyond task which might not be EC related

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges will be to salvage the difficult moments while workloads is overwhelming; new curriculum, managing children (deversity), operational needs, events/celebration and self management.

# data[].attributes.body
Plan a field trip for 300+ children for the first time. A lot of preparation and changes along the way but I'm happy that learned new things.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe event organisers can be given support by delegating another hour extra on some days to ensure that they can complete their duties as some events are done on a large scale and need multiple logistics and collaboration work to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
Genie genie. If you hear me, 3 more wishes will be GREAT!!

1. Working clean toilets

2. Working Air Con

3. Working liftS

4. AIR FRYER!

# data[].attributes.body
Support, guidance and understanding from colleagues and CH (Especially my class partner(': )

More time

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges

The new approaches applied take time to adapt and manage the situation. Juggling teaching and classroom management can be a bit of a struggle to compensate.

# data[].attributes.body
Well-paced events !

# data[].attributes.body
In-time replacement for teachers leaving.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges:

Collaboration with PS and parents (MK Reads schedule library visit with PS, parents agree to come for story telling, on the day didn't turn up etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
Might need more time for planning so I will start planning even earlier next time.

# data[].attributes.body
Standardised timings for events, parents and teachers are confused with changes every celebration

# data[].attributes.body
During mass activities, teachers should all be involved. If one teacher is presenting, other form teachers should be actively engaged with their respective classes. They can help maintain discipline, keep children focused, and intervene if any child becomes disruptive.
