New School Term

New year start, new beginnings, new classes assigned... this is the first time i'm going to take the classes for 1 whole yr. during my contract teaching in july 2004-june 2005, i only took the classes for half a yr. this time round, it's somethg diff, can be gd or bad cos no matter what, must 'suffer' with them for 1 yr.

my fears aren't unfounded for teaching P1. so far they havent pee in class but they seem wanting to frequent the toilet and it's usu one aft the other. their attention span also limited, very much wanting to play, walking ard in class, playing with visualiser. behaviour aside, their academic knowledge also differ a lot. some knew the stuff i m going to teach cos they have tuition outside, while others seem unable to learn what i hv taught. one had a problem with pronunciation.

as for my P5 class, it's the first time i m teaching HCL. a lot of vocab to teach for each topic. some are quite talkative and class gets noisy when they are enthusiastic to shout out their ans. cant really reprimand them for doing this cos at least they get so enthusiastic over my lessons.

another first is first time floating in sch. long hrs. still prefer to be in am session cos i m early bird and can go hm as early as 1 plus... but didnt dare to take up the challenge of teaching all upp pri. unless they are gd classes, then it's a diff story...

hope everything runs well and smoothly in sch. my passion for teaching is still there :)
