December 21 (Thursday)

Me, and my other two friends as accepted to be intern at KK international Preschool

(KKIPS), in Mae Pa, Tak. The class of the school started from nursery to grade-2. On December
21, KKIPS was celebrating Christmas and invited us to be there as part of visiting their school.
Personally, I could feel that they warmly welcome three of us. After the celebrating, we ate
lunch together with the students there and we communicated with them to improve our
relationship and learn more about students in KKIPS. After that, we talked with the principal,
and he shared to us information about his new curriculum that he newly adapts in his school.
We also communicated about things that we need to prepare such as documentation,
transportation, accommodation, etc.

January 5 (Friday)
The principal (Dr. Chris) called us meeting on Jan 5th to setting down the
accommodation and request us to submit the necessary documents for making health insurance
for us since they were accepting us as part of KKIPS family member. Then, we continued
discuss about the course requirement from our university and the school curriculum from
KKIPS. After printing out the documentation, we also need to meet the principal’s wife (Mrs.
Joy) individually for having short interview. After the interview, she asked us to pick up the
parcel which the water bottle inside in it. Then, she asked to come officially on Jan 8th.

encourage students to make check in and let students go by themselves to take off their shoes
and go to their classroom. When it is 9 am, all the class has started. As soon as nursery students
arrived at the class, they take out their water bottle and milk and put it in the two bucket that

February 23 (Friday)
This week been a bit chaos for me because I need to switch my place to Kg-2 due to
the requirement of Kg-1 nanny training. Since I am an intern, I am not dared to say anything
to principle about why I can’t stay in Kg-1 even though they have new nanny. If they really
consider for me as an intern, they will not do such things to me that will provide uncomfortable
situation. Since I need to go to another class, I feel exhausted that I need to learn everything
from the beginning about the classroom and about the behavior of each student.

Week 8
February 27 (Tuesday)
As I have mentioned last week, I have been switching to Kg-2 due to nanny training
process. Thus, I need to do the same class with my other intern. The students would have
morning meeting together with teacher in cycle and review some phonic in the morning time.
After that some students will be called to complete their math meanwhile the others were
allowed to play with other toys. After that student would have garden time. After back from

still continue with their incomplete math workbook. After students done, they would prepare
their sleeping mat and take their lunch. After students done with lunch time, they would brush
their teeth and take a nap. Once they get up, they would fold their own sleeping mat and ready
for their snack times while waiting for their parents pick up.

February 28 (Wednesday)
It was a happy moment for me that I get to back to the Kg-1 class because staying in
this class make me feel like I belong to this class. Plus, as usual I would help homeroom teacher
with leading the students and doing the activities for students. Today, I taught new origo book
about the racing horse (basically about the ordinal order). I would tell them the story about it
and come up with critical questions after that. After the story telling about it, I would lead them
the activity of coloring the horses according to the book horses. As they r slow in coloring, they
would take time more in coloring so every free time that they would have, I would call
individual or two at once to complete the coloring. As their daily routine, they would have
playing in garden time after morning lesson, they would have free little time before preparing
their own sleeping mat so I would call one by one to complete their coloring task. After that
they would have lunch, take a nap and put in their socks tidy up their water bottle into their bag
once they get up. After that they would have a milk and fruits time while waiting for their
parents’ pick-up.

February 29 (Thursday)
Today is the day I will be observed by my professor. I feel a bit excited as I been a way
with my students for several day. However, I did my best in teaching and managing the students
during the teacher is observing. I feel a bit nervous and upset with my teaching as students at
Kg-1 age are hard to manage to get quiet. After the teaching, Dr. Nalten talk to me and give me
suggestions of how I can do better in the future, so I feel supported and have energy to continue
teaching. In the evening, I talk to my homeroom teacher about if I can come back to kg-1 room
and work as usual. Since she also need me in helping her with teacher, she sent the message to
Mrs. Joy to get approval. She did approve as we requested her, so I was able to back to Kg-1
with a happy mood.

compete all within one period so every time they have free time, I would call them individually
to complete the worksheet and the rest were allowed to play. After the first period of teaching,
they would have garden time, after gardening time, they would change and some students that
didn’t change would have reading time which is basically seeing the picture in the book. After
that they would have lunch, nap, and have snack time while they are waiting for their parents
pick up.

Week 9
March 4 (Monday)
Today, I was assigned to review the jolly phonic book 3 for the kids. Then, after that I
would continue with the story book about the garden. After that I would complete the worksheet
with the students that haven’t finish with their task in the previous week. After that, they would
have PE class. When it is teaching in the classroom, I will be the one who leading the lesson
teaching and the homeroom teacher would remind students to pay attention while I am teaching
when some students fail to focus. After the PE class, they would back to their class and play as
they didn’t have gardening time due to clash with PE time. After that students would prepare
their sleeping mat, they would go to lunch area to have lunch. After lunch time, they would
have nap time, story time and snack time in the lunch area while waiting for their parents pick
up.
March 5 (Tuesday)
Today I would teach origo in kindergarten-1 class about 40-minute Origo Math lesson.
Origo Math helps kids learn the position of an object in order from first, second, third, fourth
and fifth, to last. After the lesson, the students would do activity in small group by coloring
the give position of the pictures. After that, the daily routine continued with playtime,
lunchtime, nap time, and snack time. Playtime allows kids to have fun and make friends while
developing social skills. Lunchtime is when everyone eats together with teacher and me. Nap
time gives children a chance to rest and recharge. Snack time is a yummy break where kids
enjoy tasty treats such as milk and fruits. This routine provides a balanced mix of learning, fun,
and relaxation, creating a nurturing environment for young learners.

March 6 (Wednesday)
For today, in the kindergarten-1 class, I would continue with Origo Math session. I will
be using the same story of Origo Math book, but students would have to do different activities.
Basically, I must repeatedly instruct students by focusing on teaching children about the
sequence of objects, from the first to the last position. After the lesson, the students engaged in
small group activities, where they colored pictures according to their given positions.
Following this, our daily routine continued with designated times for play, lunch, nap, and
snack. Playtime fosters social interaction and friendship building among the children. During
lunchtime, both the students and I shared a meal together. Nap time provides a chance for the
kids to rest, while snack time offers delicious treats like milk and fruits. This routine ensures a
harmonious blend of education, enjoyment, and relaxation, nurturing the growth of our young
learners.

March 7 (Thursday)
For today in the kindergarten-1 class, I just review Origo Math for the kindergarden-1.
We may be sticking with the same story from our Origo Math book, but this time, the students
will be doing different activities. I'll be guiding them through understanding the order of
objects, from the first to the last position. Sometimes I won’t be able to finish the individual
activity within a day so I would continue the previous activity today. After the lesson, the kids
will work in small groups, colouring pictures based on where they belong in the sequence.
Then, students will continue with our usual routine of play, lunch, nap, and snack time.
Playtime helps kids make friends and have fun. During lunch, we'll all eat together. Nap time
gives the children a chance to rest, and snack time offers tasty treats like milk and fruits. This
routine helps us learn, have fun, and relax together as we grow and learn.

March 8 (Friday)
Today, I would basically review the student with jolly Phonic Book 1 again and follow
by writing activity after that. Today the homeroom teacher is having meet with the parents so
I will be the one who was leading the Kg-1 class. As we know, most kids usually listen to their
homeroom teacher so on that day I need to use my energy double for them to follow my
instruction. As usual, at 10 am students would have garden time, have changed after play,
readily prepared their sleeping mat and having lunch after that. When they woke up, they would
put on their socks and put the water bottle into their bag. Meanwhile some students help teacher
folding up foam at before they went down to downstair for snack time. During their snack time,
it was the time that they waited for their parents pick up.

March 11 (Monday)
This week is the last week for this term. As usual, all the students and teachers would
have morning meeting in nursery class. After that Tr. James would announce about the last term
and sing the action along with the students. Once the meeting done, students would go back to
the classroom, and I would review the jolly Phonic Book 2 with them together. After that I
would divide them into group for playing while individual of them would meet with me for
completing writing phonic work activity. After that they would have play time, lunch time, nap
time. As they work up, I would read a story and tell them so that they would stay calm before
going downstairs for the milk or snack time. After that they would be ready with their bags and
line up to walk down to have a snack time while waiting for their parents pick up.

March 12 (Tuesday)
Today we didn’t really have many activities about teaching apart from instructing
students about what the school was going to do tomorrow. Then, we would have students
meeting together in nursery classroom. After that students would play in their own classroom,
and I would be the one that handle them. As the term is about to end, the homeroom teacher
was a bit busy as they would have meeting about the report. When the homeroom teacher was
having meeting during their sleeping time, I have a hard time controlling 3 or 4 students as they
known that their homeroom teacher was not there. Because of they didn’t listen to me, I raised
my voice, and it seems nothing to them, so I called one of the other teachers to help me putting
them into sleep. As usual, as soon as they woke up, they would pee, some help teachers with
tidy up the foam mat and readily go to lunch area to have their milk and fruit while waiting for
their parents pick up.

day of KG-3. Since it was the last day of the term, we don’t have any teaching lesson anymore.

students come and go outside of the classroom. After the graduation ceremony, the students
would back to their belonging area and having their lunch and snacks. After that they would go

the helping in the school.
