Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to week 3. I hope that you are having an excellent start to the year and practising with the boys their routines and that your class management plans are coming together. Let's all continue to work on establishing habits and routines and keep reminding them until they change their old habits...66 days to establishing a new behaviour.
Here's a light-hearted story to start the week to encourage you in your planning for your management and lessons:
Three fish lived in a pond. One was named “Plan ahead”, another was “Think fast”, and the third was called “Wait and see”. One day, they heard a fisherman say he would be going to cast his net in their pond the next day.
“Plan ahead” said,” I am swimming down the river tonight”.
“Think fast” said, “I am sure I will come up with a plan”.
“Wait and See” lazily said,” I just can’t think about it now”.
When the fisherman cast his nets, “Plan ahead” was able to escape from his nets. But “Think fast” and “Wait and see” were caught by the fisherman. “Think fast” quickly rolled his belly up and pretended to be dead. “Oh, this fish is no good!” said the fisherman and threw him safely back into the water. Howvever, “Wait and see” ended up in the fish market. That is why people say, “In times of danger, when the net is cast, plan ahead or plan to think fast!”
I believe in you.
Credere et Servire!
Keep Believing and Serving,
Timothy Goh
