Day 3 (25/5/2011): First Lesson!

  "Attention! One Two, good morning Teacher Vivian!" I was taken aback by the loud greetings of the students when I stepped inside the class. Ok.. So my very first lesson was with class 403, the 3rd class in 4th grade (四年三班). Did a very brief introduction of myself and started to interact with the students. Students are to communicate with me in english, that's the main purpose. Guess what? My new identity in GLPS is "the foreign teacher who doesnt understand mandarin". Cool huh... XD

Class 403

  My very first lesson was with this class. Had a nice time with them. There's this awesome feeling in you, when the kids who normally feel uncomfortable with speaking english started to take the initiative to try speak with you in english. Although their english werent excellent, but the effort they put in really amazed me. The special moment with them was when they showed me their dance movement "包庇" that they performed during last week's musical. Haha.. They were so cute and funny.

Class 402

  Class 402 was scheduled at 1.30pm. I was kinda tired and sleepy after lunch. But still, I had to force  myself to shake away the sleepiness and stay awake, at least, until the lesson ends Right? Ya.. so, we played a small little colour game. Instead of dancing, 3 students sang a song for the class. There's this nice girl, Fanny, and her 2 other friends ( I can't remember their names) sang us a song, which sadly, I've forgotten the song name.

  This is the group photo of Class502. The 1st one on the left is their English teacher. Can you see where am I? The teacher said that I'm just like the kids. Woohoo~!! Means I'm young! Thank you!! XD

  Every Wednesday at 3.30pm, they'll all leave the classroom and head to the outdoor to stretch and play some little games. I personally think this is really great, as the kids will have the opportunity to be in the sun instead of just sitting whole day in class and study study study! Malaysia should implement this. Haha.. Students get to play whatever they want, they are even allowed to explore the ecological park at the back of the school. Cool right? Totally... And you know what? It's Hokkien Wednesday!!! The school used Hokkien in their broadcasting today. Haha.. English Tuesday and Hokkien Wednesday (Tai-Yu Wednesday is more appropriate). 

  After school, host-mama brought us to the street market. Wow~ I was awestruck by the traffic there. The narrow street was really crowded with the bikes zooming here and there and with the people forcing their way to the stall they wanted to go. Curiosity strucked me and I couldnt help but to take photos non-stop. Even 7-11 looked so new to me.
