WAW
first class, and no bribes needed, amazing, i made full use of 1 of my two Teaching Assistants in that class room, the other seems to want to do other things and is a distraction to the kids, both classes went well in the morning.
Second class.
started ok, went bad, i brought out my bribe and it held there attention for about 30 seconds then they carried on, i think i may have made them a bit hyperactive, o well. i gave two sweets out at the end of class two one of my favourt in that class and another to a girl who didnt make as much noise as yesterday and was relativity well behaved, i am hoping that tomorrows class will go better as word spreads that sweets will be given out at the end of class for the best students.
well im jusst bout to head of to Blakes house to have a beer and talk about the job, he started kindergarten then left as he want to teach people a bit more........ sensible..... or something like that. i will find out tonight. he was on red bull for the first 2 weeks of kindergarten and as i havent touched a drop yet, i hope to have earnt a little respect.
any ways. i will check in with more details of hebei and life here in the next 3 days. many interesting and some funny things i have seen. i will try and get some pics up asap.
Good night all

hi mark!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
ReplyDeleteIt's me and mum! Just had to sign up to a google account hence short message above! Glad to hear it is going well. Don't forget to punish as well as reward! I have found a token system is better than choosing who gets a reward at the end of a class - give kids that are on task / behaving appropriately a ticket - they write their name on it, and put it in a box. At the end of each lesson, pick a name out (or 2/3) and give that person a prize! How is Li-Yang? What is she doing while you are teaching?
It was Mum's birthday today, she has been out for a meal (not with me :-< )
Take care. Everyone is enjoying your blog, so keep it up! Apparently Gran is an avid reader, so no swearing or gratuitous sex or violence.
Lots of love
Anna and Mum xxx
