25 kidsI made a silent prayer when the teacher whose class was relief-ing told me over the phone that 1X 'suck your blood'. well they didn't literally did that but it was CLOSE.
25 HIGHLY ACTIVE kids. no joke. just 2h with them my throat went dry. I felt extremely guilty whenever I had to punish a kid and show my stern+strict face accompanied by punishment.
looking back on my day, just the thoughts of, a little boy innocently asking me whether 'night takers' really exist and eat children ( when I read to them a comprehension passage on 'night taker' who followed james and ate him); another boy came up to me and asked me to challenge and give him the hardest 3 times table. ( which I did! 3 x 13 =? and I enjoyed a very long moment of silence. HA) could send me laughing uncontrollably to myself.
no doubt my feet were tired from standing for 5h, throat dry from having to raise my voice but at the end of the day, the 'darnest' things they say and simply puts a smile on my face(:
a good night rest is all I need to face them again. *winks
tips from miss teo for a better behave class* (only tested on primary1)
1. telling students to put a finger on their lips when walking as a class to places
results? a quieter class
effectiveness? 93.8%* (results proven)
2. subtracting points from group
results? better behaved class
effectiveness? 85.6%* ( only applies within classroom)
