My first time teaching.....

Today......was my first time teaching...



theory always seems so easy....

but truth to be told...it sure isnt...

i had to implement an art lesson today. The lesson was about tyre printing with paint and paper, you know, where one uses the wheels of toy cars , dips its wheels into paint and roll it on paper? yea...like that.

sounds simple???




oh no....hahax
teaching is never easy i guess=P
for one thing, the kids were too interested with what was in my bag of cars compared to the song that i was singing as a tuning-in activity for them to pull their attention to the task at hand.

also, while they rolled the cars on the paper, they actually worked up stored energy (for the car was a wind up toy) in the toy car and, when they lifted it off the paper, the wheel spun on its own in a frenzy, sending sprays of paint flying in all directions. Thankfully, the sprays were small ones though the children got them in their hair and on their faces. Lucky they wore their art aprons. whew!

at first, they did not seem very used to the idea of paint all over them, and kinda "sa jiao-ed" for someone to clean them up the first time the paints flew, however, i made it seem like it was nothing and soon they were enjoying the exprience, squealing in joy when the paint got on them. they enjoyed it and so did i, though i never really got to close my lesson properly( gotta work on classroom management...die....). Indulge in the mess! hahax...that makes it all fun.=)





will jiayou for the next one...........



very soon, i will have to be observed by my feild mentor for my teaching skills and all...................
