Back from work.....

I worked full time from 8AM to 2:30 PM on last two days on Wednesday and Thursday. The other mother came forward to drop children to school in the morning so that I could leave early for work. I picked them up in the afternoon after my work.
Today also I had morning work from 8AM to 11 AM. And so I am back home after work.
Other than my usual work with my two students, I helped teachers to put up with their Annual Day function on coming Monday and the graduation of the Montessori children that is today in the evening at 5.
I helped them with my artistic work for their backdrops, props and general decorations. And it was fun as I always enjoy doing them and have a lot over years as teacher.
Since most of the teachers in Middle and High School are busy with rehearsal and also test preparation, I am happy that I could help them as a part of community.
Today I worked with my children from 8_9:40AM and then helped to put up the stage for the graduation ceremony upstairs on the terrace. Since it's a small gathering, terrace is good enough. For the annual day, they are putting up things in football ground.
All is done and looks good. I took a few pics but they are not loading up here due to their size thing. I will try to put them with other discussion.
As a token of thanks for the help that I did, one Montessori teacher brought me these home made sweets. The picture got uploaded easily here. It is called Uniyappam and is made from fresh ripe bananas. I brought it home and tasted one. It's yummy! And I can have a few as it uses only banana as sweetner and no sugar. She has added a few drops of honey though.
Now I earn myself two extra holidays. Monday and Tuesday are holidays on account of their Annual Day celebration. I am already in a mood for long weekend.
I am sure for many the weekend mood would have set in

@eileenleyva Thank you. I just did it as I enjoy it and wanted to be more involved with the community of teachers. Being in part time job there I don't get opportunities to mingle with them and make friends.

That's nice to earn 2 holidays because the long weekend can give you time not just for rest but maybe a vacation trip.

My elder one is having an important exam in February and right now it's all practice test for that. It's 10th grade board exam and it's held on national level. Can't afford a vacation till then. It will get over in March and then we would plan one.

I enjoyed it. I like artwork and decorations. Moreover I got an opportunity to know more teachers and make friends. My part time work does not allow that otherwise.
