Sunday Morning Blues
This morning’s class with my toddlers was just another challenge for me as a teacher. I had a listening and dictation activity with them and one student colored the last item differently. The other two students noticed it and said no your color is not right it must be orange and not blue. Then they showed him the color orange and said change it. Then that little kid slowly got the orange crayon and we didn’t know that he was silently crying until tears dropped on the paper. Whew! What a trifling reason. I went out ahead of them as they were all with that little spoiled brat who cried in between sobs. Gosh! Grins.
My Friend is Disappointed
As she arrived home tonight I noticed a sad face with wet hands from the heavy rain outside. She immediately muttered her story about her Life Club activity with our adult students. She had a mixed lower level activity tonight and out of thirteen people inside the room only five or four spoke freely and participated in the activity. It was so obvious from her face the disappointment she felt and I heared her on that point for I also had the same experience before with the same students. Well, after all as I told her we aren’t losing in the overall process you know. If they aren’t learning from us then it’s not our loss or our fault because we have done our very best to impart our knowledge and skills but they are always showing reluctance in speaking the language. I understand her view though for the fact that she really is a dedicated and efficient teacher.
