“Ke, ada apa kok hari ini suara kamu keras banget” kepsek menegur sesaat sebelum saya memulangkan anak-anak “tidak enak kedengarannya sama orang tua murid”
Wah, masalahnya hari ini (Rabu, 20/4) suara saya justru sedang sengau yang paling top & itu membuat telinga saya terasa sedikit tuli. Mungkin karena itu volume suara saya menjadi sedikit di atas garis normal ya. Hehe.
Atau mungkin juga karena bodi lagi tidak fit membuat tingkat kesabaran saya menipis.
Ya, tahu dong bagaimana rasanya kalau sedang terkena pilek & dalam keadaan tidak 100% seperti itu harus menghadapi anak kecil? Wah!
Eh, tapi siapa tahu mungkin reaksi anda terhadap anak anda jauh lebih ‘menakutkan’ & volume suara anda lebih ‘nyaring’ saat anda sedang pilek. Hehe. Jadi jangan cepat-cepat menjatuhkan vonis dong. Lihat dulu sikon yang sedang di alami oleh orang ybs.
Hari terakhir sebelum lomba memperingati hari Kartini, kembali saya mendengungkan pesan besok harus membawa krayon & meja lipat serta siapa saja yang akan ikut lomba mewarnai & hanya Justin yang ikut lomba peragaan busana daerah. Terus, besok jangan datang ke sekolah. Langsung ke kecamatan. Acara mulai jam 8 pagi jadi jangan datang jam 8 ya.
Bu guru sudah seperti kaset rusak nih mengulang-ulang pesan yang sama. Ya, di ulang-ulang saja masih bisa menguap dari ingatan. Terbukti masih ada saja yang bertanya.
Tapi aneh & lucunya nih, bukan cuma anak yang bertanya. Beberapa orang tua murid pun mengulang-ulang pertanyaan yang sama pada saya. Jadi curiga nih. Surat pemberitahuan dari sekolah sebetulnya di baca atau di buang sih? Hehe.
Kegiatan di kelas saya mulai dengan memejeng berbagai macam benda di atas 2 meja & meminta anak-anak bergantian maju untuk mengambil 2 benda yang sesuai dengan pasangannya (misalnya; buku-pensil, jam-baterei, piring-sendok, lilin-korek api, dll).
Lalu saya mengetes siapa yang sudah bisa menulis kata ‘bobi’ (Clarissa) , ‘babi’ (Justin) , babu (Echa yang karena tidak bisa saya ganti dengan Stevany) & terakhir kata ‘bebi’ (Nico).
“Kalian akan menebalkan & menulis angka 7 tapi sebelumnya siapa bisa melompat sebanyak 7 kali?” tanya saya. Segera pula tangan-tangan kecil itu terangkat.
Kemudian menebalkan & menulis huruf p serta mewarnai hanya gambar piama. Yee, ternyata masih ada juga tuh yang tidak menyimak penjelasan bu guru ya karena kok gambar padinya ikut juga di warnai.
Sesaat sebelum waktunya makan bekal, saya sedang merapikan buku paket saat menemukan bahwa 5 orang anak belum menulis tanggal. Weleh, bagaimana ini? Kan sudah rutin kita harus menulis tanggal juga di buku. Kok bisa pada lupa sih? Biarin deh di kata bu guru bawel tapi ini soal melatih disiplin & ketelitian. Jadi sori jek kalau saya jadi rajin ‘berkicau’ seperti ini di kelas.
Pulangnya belum bisa bersantai. Aduh. Padahal ini rasanya lemas sekali.
“Ke, lihat tidak di mana scarf merah yang biasa di pakai anak yang mau lomba paduan suara” tanya wali kelas TK B.
Seingat saya & teteh ada di simpan di lemari yang ada di kelas PG. Tapi rupanya berpindah tempat tanpa setahu yang lain jadi selama hampir satu jam kami harus mengubak-ngubek berbagai tempat ‘persembunyian’.
“Kalau tidak di tanya tidak ada yang bergerak untuk mencari” lagu usang kepsek ‘berkumandang’.
Memang sih telinga sudah tebal karena sudah 6 tahun bekerja di sini membuat kami sudah terbiasa mendengar berbagai macam bunyi komentar kepsek tapi hari ini saya menyimpan sedikit kedongkolan karena berpikir lomba paduan suara diikuti khusus oleh 10 orang anak kelas TK B. Saya sendiri sudah terlalu sibuk mengurusi anak di kelas sendiri. Belum lagi kondisi bodi yang memang tidak sedang 100% begini membuat saya tidak segesit & sekonsen biasanya. Tapi kana da wali kelas TK B sendiri yang harusnya bisa menangani hal ini.
Yah, syukurlah benda menyebalkan itu akhirnya muncul juga di detik terakhir setelah semua nyaris putus asa.

“What’s got into you today that makes your tone so pitching high?” asked headmaster to me as I was preparing to dismiss the class today (Wednesday, April 20th)
The problem I faced today is my voice was at its worst rasp. & it a bit deafened my ears. Perhaps it was why I spoke in louder tone today. Lol.
Or perhaps flu has thinned my patience toward the kids. Well, you know how it feels when you’re catching flu. & in that kind of unwell condition you have to deal with kids.. Well, who knows your reaction might be worst than the way I behaved toward the kids today. Lol. So don’t make premature conclusion or verdict on someone before you know what’s it like to be in that person’s shoes.
The kids in my class & B class will participate in 3 competition that are coloring, choir & fashion show tomorrow to commemorate Indonesian women’s liberation hero Mrs. Kartini’s Day. It will be held in subsdistrict office.
So I reminded the kids again about who are going to participate in coloring competition & fashion show. What they should bring & what time they should get at the subsdistrict office as it will start at 8 am.
Well, I feel like a broken record repeating the same message again & again. It is needed to repeat the message because not all kids have sharp memory & able to understand the message given to them. Man, even adults can’t. It shows how few parents have asked me same questions regarding tomorrow’s event that I wonder what happens to the notification letter that school has given to them last week where everything about the competition is written in details. Was the letter being read or being thrown away anyway?
I started today’s activity by displaying 2 tables with various things on them & asked the kids to pick 2 related things from each table (e.g. book-pencil; clock-battery; spoon-plate; candle-matches, etc).
After that I asked kids to come forward & wrote ‘bobi’, ‘babi’, ‘babu’ & ‘bebi’ on the whiteboard as I knew few of them can read.
It followed by “You’re going to write the number 7 but first who can jump 7 times?” I asked the kids who eagerly raised their hands up.
Ok. Jump, but let me hear you count your jump so it would make 7 consecutive times. & they took turned jumped around the class 7 times. I soon discovered that Kelvin & Justin had problems matching their counting with their jumping.
Write the letter p became the next class activity. Color only the pajamas. But few kids colored the paddy too. It showed who heard the instruction & who didn’t.
The last is to write ‘pi’ & then circled it. Write ‘ti’ & squared it. Gosh, it gave me dizzy over seeing some of the kids did it in reverse. Not to mention they too forgot to write the date. Oh, dear, I sighed. Yeah, you all could say I am noisy for bragging you about those stuff but it’s about discipline & paying attention to your work. Don’t give me half done work!
I swear if I could, I’d definitely howl my wolf frustration cries in class. Lol.
That is why I thought I could relax after they were all gone home. But nope, I couldn’t because..
“Have you seen where are the red scarves stored?” asked B class teacher to me.
Both the cleaning lady & I remembered it being stored in Playgroup classroom cabinet but someone must have removed it somewhere & none of us knew or remembered where it is so we searched anywhere.
“If it wasn’t me who asked none of you make the initiative to look for it” the old record being sung again by headmaster.
Our ears have become numb hearing whatever comment spoke by headmaster. We’ve gotten used. I personally have. I’ve been working here for 6 years. Nothing about headmaster came as a surprisingly hurtful for me. But it did upset me quite a bit today hearing what she said.
I haven’t been in my best condition in the past 3 days which making me unable to think & react as well as I usually do. Beside, the choir competition will be followed only by 10 B class kids so their teacher is the one who supposed to take care what they should need for the competition. I myself have become occupied taking care the kids in my own class.
