t h a l ec o l l e g eLots of flowers are being picked these days –there arebouquets everywhere. The people coming from the retreathome at Treseburg always bring with them big bouquetsof the pale yellow primroses that grow there along theBode River. One hardly finds any here; you have to golooking quite far. It’s also terribly fun to look for flowerswith the kindergarten children. Now we’ve plantedpansies and daisies with them in little beds, and sowncarrots and Japanese lanterns. Each group has their littlebed which they water with great delight.I am currently still a substitute teacher in the kindergartenand don’t have my own class. I have to take careof all the external details –bringing the groups theirmaterials, washing the plates after meals, and helping outwhen something is happening in one of the groups. Atthe beginning I’m always pretty busy but later on I havemore time to observe the different groups, and that ofcourse is also very interesting and I learn a lot that way.Sometimes there are also children who are supposed toplay by themselves and who I then have to look after. Ienjoy it every time that happens.From next week on I will have my own group again,hopefully a lively one. That is to say, we will not go toTreseburg next week but instead are supposed to stayin the kindergarten till Whitsun. And also then thingswill somehow still be organized differently. A few aresupposed to get all the toys, etc. ready for the new Hortstudents, and only one or two of us will have the children.But it’s all still very unclear. Frau Direktorin often45
