i so wanna update abt the couple nite, we had. but i promised myself that i will only do it with photos. I'M WAITING FOR JES 2 PASS IT 2 ME.she's been busy, burning the midnite oil for her assignments.!

SO LET ME SPEAK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN MY CLASS ON SATURDAY.
on saturdays, i have my own class. which is the early reading and writing class. my kids hav been wid me for a month and they are starting to open themselves up to me!!..let me see if i can recall all deir names. WE HAVE JEROME,NATHANIAL,AZRA,SANIKA,MARY,JOSHUA,RANDALL AND NADZIRAH! THE KIDS sat at different tables to do work. After doing the reading wif me, they have a alphabet booklet to finish and colour. ALL WENT SMOOTH TILL THE COLOURING PART!...BOY picked up baby blue. GIRL shouted, hey its a girl's colour. BOY puts it down and picks up a yellow. GIRL SHOUTS AGAIN!. BOY looks and retorts " hey, there is no such thing as boy or girl colour!". GIRL LOOKS BACK AT HIM AND SAYS..YES!, U JUS DUN KNOW!.BOY mutters " all the colours are for everybody, that's wat mummy said."GIRL whu is now very irritated,"do you have pink shirts?,no! becos u boy, u dun wear that colour". BOY whu is now as hot as a kettle, " U HAV SHORT HAIR, DOES DAT MAKE U A BOY?"..CLASSROOM IN SILENCE!..GIRL LOOKS AWAY.BOY SMILES. end of conversation.

I had my reasons for not interrupting the conversation.

1. I wanted to know which were the "boy" or "girl" labelled colours.
2.I wanted to see their communication skils. which is excellent for 4 year olds!
3. I BELIEVE, children must learn the skill of settling things themselves at times but not until, one decides to plunge his/her teeth into the soft skin of the fren's.

We, adults tend to label colours to gender. PINK DRESS. BLUE SHIRT....would it make a difference if we were to wrap the male babies in pink and female in blue?. WOULD WE STILL SAY PINK IS FOR GIRLS AND BLUE IS FOR BOYS!?!..go wonder and tag me on ur opinions...me OPEN TO CRITICISM!


CONFESSION:I SAW A NICE DRESS AT PHUTHURE LONDON DURING LUNCH BREAK..SHADES OF BLUE..N IT LOOKED SO NICE(SATIN)!...PRICE(TOO MUCH 4 M3 2 AFFORD NOW)...LOVED IT THO!
