P3 poem competition!
Some kids were super cute with their actions and their voices.
Aahahha.

I acted fierce today!

Oh yeah I'M ALREADY VERY FIERCE, fyi.

This P3 class was sitting outside their classroom and waiting for their game activity to start. But my CT was lecturing a boy by the side, so I had to look after the remaining students. The class was chatting despite the critical situation on my CT's side.

I told them to keep quiet by putting my finger on my lips. (1st) Some students saw and started poking the others to be quiet. It's effective! I'm impressed. But then 2 boys started to mime, lie down on the floor etc.

I looked over and said with a firm voice, "Sit properly." (2nd) They did so, but after 10 seconds they were acting funny again.

So I put on my grim expression, pointed a finger at my CT (who was scolding), and asked, "Do you want to be like him (the student)?" (3rd) They shook their heads. "If not, keep quiet." Oh no they didn't stop. It started again after 10 seconds.

Finally I raised my voice and said, "DO you want to get a scolding? I said sit properly!" I can see that I had successfully drilled the warning into their minds when they were shaking their heads. In an instant, they became angels.

I'm not roaring my head off at them of course! Just trying to be firm.
But it only works with lower primary students. ;(
And yes I said in English. Because the class is ranked second runner up from the bottom.

And..

I'm going to teach P5 sia! HOWHOWHOW TO MANAGE.
And I'm so dead with my reflection can??
Shall have an interview with my CT tomorrow.

22!
