So Fulfilling Afternoon

As the spring term ends, I feel a sweet tinge in my being that says 'Happy Weekends!!!'. Indeed, I am truly happy and fulfilled today because I have had a great class and I bonded with my students for the last time in our class this term. I would surely miss them. Now, that I have had with them for like two terms already I want to have them given to another teacher this summer and not to me. I want to have another set of students so it would be beneficial for me and my students. Sometimes, I don't like to see them for I found their faces too usual and boring! Hahah! Oh well, those were the times for today has come to a close for us to move on and learn more. Smiles. I want to write more but this picture could tell you more. Smiles. Good night to me and good night to all...I got to hit the bed now,,,smiles.

So Fulfilling with Pink in My Class Tonight

I have this amazing and wonderful early learner student in my EL3B class. She came in late for my EL3A class before almost half of the term. And now she is doing more than excellent as I can say. She is really brilliant and has a very witty tongue. She can pronounce the words better than me! Smiles.

Tonight is a night to remember for me since she is just doing great and she motivates others to speak louder. I love her very much. Actually I was the one who gave her the name – Pink. Why? Simply because it is the color of her dress when she came first in one of my Small Stars Fun before she joined our school and since then, she didn’t like to change her name. Whew! It only shows she loves it. Smiles. Indeed, I could say I am proud of her and in behalf of her parents’ support and love of English she is able to the best as she can be. Go Pink! Keep it up always! Smiles.

Real Fun with the Kids

I really enjoyed my classes today for my kids were just so attuned and raring to go bold and they cooperate in all the activities I had. We made our own Olympic torches for we weren’t able to go to Wenzhou and watch the real Olympic torch relayed to our province. Well, it really a fun race indeed it was all documented for good old day’s sake soon when everybody would part ways and have different lives. We made all the kids moving and running around our school’s block waving their own torches feeling really like in the real Olympics event. Whew super! Smiles.

I Had Fun with My Adult English Club

Whew! For the first time and again, I had fun with my adult English club. We played place your bets in 45 minutes. We knew the time wasn’t enough for us to cover up all the word pairs in the game. We stopped on the fifth pair for somebody knocked at the door and said it’s time to go home. So, we just went over and cracked some difficult and queer words before I set them home. Really, if they would stay that way as tonight, then, I and my colleagues won’t have any hard time in every clubbing activity. Well, should I say that I am lucky tonight? Grins.

Had Pushed Almost to My Limits

This afternoon's class was really terrible with me since I've got the naughtiest stude in the school named Ian. A little boy who doesn't know much about English not even the correct spelling of his name. Gosh! What a pain in the ass. However, still, I try my very best to remain calm and patient with him. This afternoon was anothe incident wherein I was almost pushed to my ultimate limits of my patience with him. Finally, I went silent for almost five minutes and such a time they knew I wasn't kidding anymore. They kept quiet as well and saw me in my worst angry facial expression. I asked them do you want me to be angry or happy? And they said, happy. Then one student who is one of the brainy ones in class said to me sorry for the whole class. It was so sweetly said and heartfelt so I kept my temper down and said nothing then we continued with our activities. That was it. Grins.

I Had Fun with My Students Today

So far not too tiresome today since I had been rejuvenated from the pretty long May holidays and so do my students. I had such a great time with them. For all my classes today, I am so satisfied that we had such a wonderful conversation most especially my trailblazers. They are my high school students. Today they are so lovely and they carried on with topic on festivals for more than two hours. That’s amazing for me! Smiles. I got a parent for my high flyers who watched me for an hour and after that she really waited for me and finally said, ‘You are very good! [Thumbs up and a smile of appreciation.] Thank you so much teacher.’ I felt like I was floating in the air and I had a real pat on my shoulder. Twas a real compliment coming from a parent like Jakes’. Smiles.

A Nice Chat with My Adult Studes

This night is such a great class with my adult students. They are just there to really speak their minds out and share ideas on various topics. We had such a wonderful time talking about travel and holidays. We did enjoy and I hope they would always be like the enthusiastic and open-minded students I saw tonight. Smiles.

Quite Funny

This morning I had two classes with toddlers. I was so amazed with my little kids coz they really memorized the lines in the action story about winter that we studied last week. It's really amazing how kids are apt to memorize things easily. The most remarkable thing that happened was this little girl named Venus. She is just so lovely when she starts to speak with her hardly made pronunciation especially when the words got homophone. We would just laugh at her in the end when she would end up mumbling words to me when we play ball games in class. They just love ball games apart from the undying jumping fcs and Kill the Teacher. Though things are tough with them at times but on the most part they are so challenging to deal with and the most fulfilling part of my teaching experience here. They all start with zero vocabulary and now they can go and speak something about basic and simple things around them. They are my sweet accomplishment here. Proud to say that :)

Amazingly Great!

For the past two days not to mention last week's free sessions with my student Karen, I had her and her mom in the school to coach her for the English speech contest this morning here in Rui An. I am so happy to know that she passed the elimination round and now she's into the next step of her goal. As her coach and teacher, I am giving all my best and patience for her to succeed in her dreams. She is so inspired to become an English teacher and like me to teach kids like her in the near future.

The funny thing that happened last Thursday was after her session with me her mom asked me what do I like to drink. I replied that an orange juice would be good. Indeed, I got a bottle of orange juice with two big cartoons of coconut palm juice in cans. I was just caught in awe upon seeing the man carrying the two cartoons inside the teacher's room that day. I really thanked her mom in her own tongue and she was really happy to hear I can speak some Chinese.

Definitely there would be more sessions with Karen but I don't mind it because it has been my pleasure to share my knowledge to everybody since day one.
