Teaching is totally AWESOME. Just that my throat is sore from yesterday. I was in charge of two classes. In the morning, it was the Primary 1 students. There was about 6 of them. Very lovely, innocent, and fun to be around with. There were 2 boys who are every hyperactive, lazy and couldn't stop talking.
The first lesson with them was English, so I gave them a close passage to do. And every minute there will definitely be, "Teacher is it write like that...", "Teacher Grace is the answer..." or "Teacher, the boy copy my work..." and blah blah blah. There was this one hardworking boy who did his work so fast. When I asked him to rest, he kept asking me to give him more work. Hahas. And when it was time to clean the whiteboard, all of them so enthusiastically volunteered.
After English lesson was Chinese. They had some sort of quiz. The Chinese worksheet is so easy, it does not even look like a chinese worksheet to me at all. They had questions like complete the maze, spot the difference and colour the picture. There was this one question where they have to name 5 animals from the picture. Then there was this boy who asked me how to write duck; I was stunned as I did not know how to. Thankfully, his classmate quickly volunteered to write for him. As for the other unknown words, I didn't even have to write it out. As soon as one person says he/she don't know how to write this word, the other classmates would run to me, ask for my whiteboard marker and write it out for them. So cute right.
One thing that brightened up my day so much was when they asked me if I was going to teach them later and I answered "No", they were all like "Huh... Why?? Teacher Grace I want you to teach me..." :D :D :D Awww, they love me. Ahahas.
Anyways, after Chinese was their bathing time, lunch and playtime. For the afternoon lesson, I had the Primary 2 for maths. There were about 10 of them in the class and the boys in this class are so much harder to handle. They just wouldn't listen to me. They have to complete a 5 pages long worksheet and within 10 mins they already finished it. I didn't know what to do with them so I just gave them free time. But the boys turn the classroom into a fish market and I just don't understand why do they need to shout to communicate with one another. They seemed to love standing up alot and even know how to talk back to me!! So at by the end of the lesson, I had all the boys freetime confiscated. Muahahas.
That basically sums up my first day of work. I am having an off day today. Pulau Ubin trip was cancelled again. But later on will be going to Ashley's house with some of my friends to chill.
Now to some serious matter. I found out that a few of my blog pictures (my photography shots) may have been taken and reproduced without my permission. I can't be 100% sure that those are my pictures, but the resemblance are too alike!!! It is like the exact same copy of the photo. I would have never mind sharing it if anyone has asked. And even if you were to rip of my blog photos, doubt I would even mind. But to reproduce my photography shots as if it was your own it is a big no no. Anyways, to prevent this from happening, I am going to mark ALL my future blog photos.
