Last night, I again had to cover the
3rd grade class, (next week I’ll be teaching Form 3 students hmm). There were 2 girls, cute, small girls but
with big voice. I handed out the module prepared
by the center and they were a bit shocked cuz it’s too much haha but I reminded
them it was for the entire year, I guess.
This class was the 2nd class of the nite, the 1st one was
the 4th & 5th graders..on English subject as well as this.
We started with the 1st pg, speaking task, so I recorded
them but they insisted I keep it private. hahha. They are fast learners, they
remmber things fast and I only guide them…they r 9 rite.
Then after a few tasks, one girl asked if we can do
something else like the last week lesson (I did on the to/too/two question and
remmbered the polka dot stuff I told glad she learned somthing from me haha)
but then I told her we have to do what the book tells you too. then we
continued to the Proper& Common nouns stuffs. They were freezing and had to
move a lot but I let them be cuz theyre kids and theyre still under control and
just only the two of them. I love it
when the girl waved & greeted me when I passed the hallway. She even asked if I wanted to drink first cuz
last week I asked for a lil time off cuz I needed to buy a drink. Teaching is a thirsty thing.
Throughout the task on nouns, we encountered the noun
‘mother’, while I was checking their works, I sang the song by John Lennon
called Mother! hahha cuz whenver we encountered this word we would say it the
same way John did in his song!
I can’t help myself, I told them about the song and who made
it and what is it about, including the movie Nowhere Boy hahahha! I can’t believe this! I even showed them the
photos of John Lennon and Aaron Johnson and how gorgeous these men r
(especially on Aaron) hahahha I showed John’s pic and one girl went “oo
handsome”and the other “hensem ke?” ahahhaha, then I showed Aaron and yeah they
said yup he is! Im a proud teacher
ahahhaha..
“Children, don’t do what I have done” <– I taught this
verse and explained it.
One girl told me she wanted to watch it but I told her that
you have to ask your dad because the movie is not for kids and yeah don’t tell
them that I told this to u hahahhahahah.
what ive done. I kinda wanted to
cry telling this tale of late John Lennon and they agreed it is indeed a sad
sad story. I bet one girl sniveled.
Then this one girl’s older siblings came in and she told her
brother and how she wanted to borrow his phone,, haha I cant believe he is 10
and he owns a hp. The brother is out of
control, thank god he’s bright kid, he laughed the entire time and all. quite
hectic ha ha.
There’s so much more thing to write but I stop rite here
1st.
In all, these classes are better than the last time. And I didnt knw I could tell stories to kids
and that they actually listen. wow.
I have to start preparing exam questions. And this probably my last time teaching these wonderful 3rd graders, I have to teach
the form 3! God, big kids. Tho Im specialized in teaching big kids…but they are
different..hmm.
I originally wrote this on tumblr: 15th Jan 2016 -_- then I thought, why? when I have this blogspot.
