Crist and Ank had come dressed up as witches with a long black hat. We had already decorated the room yesterday and today a parent even brought a huge jack-o-lantern for us. The children were all dressed up and very excited. My group was the only one to celebrate Halloween on such a lavish scale. To a little extent the Bears too but that was probably because of the hype I had created in them over the last few days...
Consti by chance entered our party room and on seeing the candles burning started shouting that we couldn't have fire inside the kindergarten as it was illegal. She appeared to be quite happy finding at least one fault with us. We put out the candles and were deeply aware of Consti's dark intentions.
Later she came to me and suggested me that I organize some theater, song or some some presentation for the parents's coffee evening. Why?
I was on duty with the Bears when Pirs' mama came to pick him up. Last week, Rivna and Consti both had complained to me that Pirs is a sensitive boy who feels afraid of me and my English class because I pressurize him and force him to speak in English which he doesn't like, so he doesn't want to attend my morning circles at all. They also told me that his parents are German so they do not want him to learn English.
"I have heard Pirs is having some problem. I have been told he feels afraid here. Can you tell me the whole thing please? I want to help him and solve whatever problem he might be having."
To my surprise she spoke in good English.
"Oh, thanks very much. But my son is not afraid - he is very angry."
"Angry?"
"Yes. Because he is not taken care of. He feels neglected and unloved. He doesn't like this."
Unfortunately, she didn't have time so she couldn't talk to me in detail, but she has promised to tell me everything in detail on Friday.
I happened to see Mrs Wl and I tld her this.
She was surprised too. "You mean they were lying to you and telling you it was your fault?"
"Yes"
"Don't bother about them. They are all very jealous with you. And we will talk about this in detail on Friday. I am concerned about this."
I turned around and saw Consti standing right beside me. I am guessing she can't have understood me much as she was managing children and I was speaking really fast English. She can however have well understood what I was talking about as I took Rivna, Pirs and her name several times.
Today was Ysi's last day int he kindergarten.
Just as I was leaving, Cristi told me that Cati was warning me that I have been seen too many times without the school's Tshirt. I must wear it everyday.
I don't know what to make of this whole day.
