Things to thank God for in this week.. =D

No Monday blues! - longest day but I felt happy at the end of the day! =D 

and thank God I wore shorts!! Cause the weather was so hot so it felt a lot better wearing shorts! Usually I wear track pants! Haha

LJ to Healthzone - had to split my class into two because there were 3 classes going but only 2 buses and when I split my class, a lot of my students actually wanted to follow me and a few of the girls even cried because they couldn't..at that point of time even though they were feeling sad and everything I suddenly felt very appreciated because I know I've built rapport with them..

And it was really relaxed that day!!

My cute little ones that I look forward to seeing everyday!! I actually have one girl who will look out for me every single day and the first thing she says to me would be "I've finally found you!" As if I've been long for a very long time hahaha

Friday - READERS THEATRE IS OVER!! So happy!! =D really relaxed also!! Only had less than 1 hour with my class! Cause of the performances!! Felt quite bad because i promised my students that there would be math quiz! And some of them even asked to go back to class and they were asking about the math quiz!! Haha =D

So it was very relaxing!

Kit Kat!! =D

I really love my class!! =D and every week I'm counting down..feels like such a short time already!! I'll miss them!

Saturday - really fulfilling because I took a boy who is supposedly hard to handle and he is actually very motivated to do the tests!! =D

And I spent a good time with my family celebrating my papa's 50th birthday! Thank God for my crazy family! We played an arcade game together even papa!!

Sunday - really thank God cause I didn't really get a good sleep last night and I was quite tired but during service I suddenly felt a lot better praising God!! =D =D and after writing all the things that I wanna thank God for in this week! =D

I realized I have been working myself too hard!

I realized I have been working myself too hard! No wonder so tired! So from next week onwards change strategy! =D

I followed the scheme of work quite closely! Which means after I teach a topic, I just go on to the next one. Even though I do go through corrections with them in class, they don't do their corrections and some even do them wrongly!! So now a lot of them have a lot of corrections undone/ wrong corrections (aiyo) so now I 拼命 make them do corrections/re-corrections whenever I can: during assembly, when I see them before school, during MT (which is the only time when I'm free!!)..haha yea..tiring lor!! Practically no break at all for the whole day..

Lesson: NEVER ever move on to the next topic until ALL corrections for the current topic is done. Must check thoroughly cause sometimes they do but do wrongly!! Lol face palm! My students very blur!

SOOOO my strategy is gonna change!! Thought of something!! Practice makes perfect right?? So I'm gonna print a lot a lot of drill worksheets for them!! Then make them do and do!! No need to do corrections for this one. It's just to make them practice and let me see where their standard is. Then will give prizes for correct answers! =D ANDDDD during this time, I'll take a student out to do corrections!! =D cause the rest of the class will be concentrating on their quiz right? So yea! Conducive environment for one-to-one! =D

A lot of students with a lot of corrections = Stressed and cranky teacher!!

And I'm not gonna be like that already!! Yup thank God for this idea!! =D God I pray that You'll help and enable me to manage my class well!! And I pray that with this, they will really improve!! =D AND GOD I PRAY THEY WILL BE ALERT IN CLASS AND PAY 100% ATTENTION WHENEVER IM GOING THROUGH CORRECTIONS!! No more corrections/re-corrections after this round of clearing their corrections please!! THANK YOU GOD!!!! In Jesus' name I pray, amen! =D
