I wonder if this is start of something really awesome. Today I talked to my class monitor and told him I think he really has the ability to influence the rest of the class which is why I have not replaced him with someone else. And I thank God that he really got it. After that, he started helping me in the class when students started disrupting my lesson! And he really did his work!! Until someone said something unkind about him and he flared up and pulled her chair away, causing her to fall on the floor. After school, I pulled him aside to talk to him and asked him if he knew what he did was wrong and he should apologize to her. And he did. #proudteachermoment. Things like that are what really make me feel accomplished. Not how much of the syllabus I covered, but how much of an impact I actually made. I'm thinking of talking to him again tomorrow to let him know that I really appreciate his help in the class yesterday and that his role is to help me with the class!! And be nice to those that others bully so that the rest will look up to him and respect him! And I know I can count on him! =D
Other things that I did today:
Implemented the consequences again. This time I guessed it went better. However those in timeout didn't really behave much better so I didn't ask if they wanted to join the class. I even had one boy asking if he could go to timeout!! And yes he was supposed to go but I had to separate him from those in timeout because he would talk to them.
Got them to do their FTGP journal at the start of the day!! Yay it finally arrived! It helped them keep quiet because all they needed to do was draw and colour a picture. So yea thank God for that period of peace and calm that I had!! Didn't follow the lesson plan cause there wasn't enough time to..so yup!
Talked to R and asked him how school has been for him so far. And thank God he said good! And then I told him I really appreciate how he tries to tell those around to keep quiet. He didn't really respond though haha hope he understood what I meant! And I also mentioned that I thought of letting him become a junior leader!
Had lesson observation. Thank God!!! Third and last one of this term!! Honestly I was so ill-prepared for it. No idea what got into me these days but I just feel really lethargic and don't feel like doing anything!! But thank God for that awesome colleague who lent me her sweets and helped me to find the math resources during her free period!! Seriously thank God for her!! If not for her help I would have felt really stressed and depressed lol and yea managed to use the resources to teach my lesson today but didn't really follow the "learning targets" procedure la..haha it was so impromptu =X i did share the learning target and showed them incorrect examples and correct examples and at the end, asked them how many understood and know how to draw a model correctly! And 3 of them didnt raise their hands so yea i guess my lesson got through to most of them so thank God! =D thank God it went okay! Except for the boys who became violent all of a sudden! But yea thank God it's overrrrrrrr!! =D
Their tests are coming in 2 weeks time! Wanna ask Mdm S what are the words that will be tested!! And what kind of questions will come out for math! Will problem sums come out?
Anyway I've new ideas and resources!! So many things to do!!
- will get them to do corrections for their math HW books. Those who don't have can do their stellar handwriting book! =D
- I have wooden pegs now!! =D but cannot decorate the class with their work now cause the tests are coming!! Will ask if can put up the total defence artwork!
- and I've got cards with simple words on them!! Can use for English lessons!! Form sentences!! =D
- and also numbers on ice cream sticks! Can use when answering MCQ!! =D
Yup yup okay got to go! Really wanna THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND FOR PULLING ME THROUGH THESE FEW DAYS!!!!!!! =D God bless, take care and byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! =D
