smart reader english classes
today, i went teaching kids english. teaching 'smart readers' classes. from the early morning 9am till 5.30pm.
it was replacement classes for my mom's fren since she will be out station.
there was 4 classes, the 1st class is the youngest, the most headache class... there were 7 students between 4 to 5 years old. the syllabus tat i need to teach is simple, it was just abc n simple words. BUT the class was quite a mess. u know, kids, it's hard to make them listen to u.
then the 2nd 1, it's much more better. the easiest class to teach. they are 5-6 years old. it's only 1 or 2 years old diff from the previous. but their behavior is a huge diff. they can read together, n they will understand wat u want them to do.
their level are same as the previous, but then i can finish wat i suppose to teach for this class in 1.30hours. the rest of the 30 min, i let them colouring n this is when they start singing n dancing. haha, i love this class, except there was 1 too quite.
while the previous class, i almost can finish.. haiz...they proceed too slow n too many interruption.
the noon class, the 1st class in the rojak class. 1 lvl 7, 1 lvl 5, 3 lvl 2, n 1 lvl 4. it's quite hard to teach. i have to attend them 1 by 1. some can do well in their works, some cant. n this class like to go toilet alot.@.@
2nd noon class, this class is from 9 years old to 11 years old. so it's nice to teach. n not teaching the 'smart reader' program, but grammars. however, i found the grammar teaching method for them is not suitable, n i dont think tat way is effective. they were doing the diff lvl as well. there was i surprisingly things for this class. today, there is a 7 years old gal joining. she is new. super quite, but cute. the rest of the students was surprise to see her joining as well. the book that i was asked to give her was higher level. where by some of the 9-11 years old havent even reach. so basically, it might be too hard for the girl.
after having all these class, i was so tired, exhausted... not an easy job on teaching students.
the principal said if she open new classes in june, she probably will let me teach. n maybe teaching chinese as well... =) (i dont want small kids class, it's better to teach those 6 years old n above)
