ok another week has passed!!! closer to receiving a levels... :( oh man it's so scary.
today i realised that even though my job is like really tiring but i'm actually quite happy with it. there's really joy derived from the students. like when u teach them it's like quite pek chek at times coz they talk talk talk talk talk non stop and likes to complain to u a lot. but at the end of the day when u realised that they managed to do math qns which they initially dont know or finish writing 10 sentences of journal finally it makes me really happy. the funny thing is that they always complain abt the work u give them! like 10 sentences seems like hell for them u know. wait till they get to jc and try gp. wow. they will kill themselves. haha.
oh and the fun thing abt teaching lower pri is that they r very enthu. they really love to ans ur qns and likes having 'hard' qns! haha. like u know adding by the thousands. it's very enjoyable to teach them and quiz them coz they r actually quite attentive. better than ppl in my class in sec sch /jc. sorry to the teachers but i always nv listen to them during their lessons in sec sch/jc! although their spelling and grammer is atrocious, i really like seeing them writing their journals. there's this innocence in their writing. when they talk abt the things they do, the things they like. it makes me think back to when i was young what do i really like and what makes me happy. i came to a conclusion that the older u get the more greedy u become and it becomes harder to be happy. for young children like them, really really simple things make them super happy! a lot of them talk abt just having KFC/Mac's with their family or cycling with their father. these simple things really light up their lives. from them i can see the importance of their family, how they look up to their parents and older siblings. i wonder what happened to teenagers who get angry with their family so easily and grow apart with their family. a lot of them actually dont talk to their parents/siblings. i think it's quite sad. see the vast difference from young kids and ppl who r more grown up. i prefer the younger ones!
and also dealing with really naughty children! oh man it's terrible. they r like really problematic although they didnt mean it. i think some of them r just hyper active and if u treat them nicely they will be quite ok. but of coz sometimes have to be like really stern to them! kids r actually quite easy to tame. like with sweets or just try to talk to them nicely they will listen to u. it's very fulfilling to see the naughtier children listen to u and do their work. makes me really happy :D and and and i think the best is that these children and also others always greet me, smile and wave to me :) it's very nice to see them do that! sooo yup actually thinking of it this job is quite enjoyable although tiring! the power of kids. haha.
anyway there r like some really really cute kids in my classes!!!! :) :) :) handsome little boys. haha. like them a lot lah. just like BRYAN! :D
ok i think this is a really long post, but it's what i felt for the past 2 weeks. there r still a lot of things for me to learn abt teaching because teaching pri sch is definitely much harder than sec or jc. the classroom management skill is really important with such young kids. haha. ok i shall end here now :)
