my final day this year

today is my final teaching day this year.
managed to finish satria 4-years smart reader level 1. but seri suria...., they have to depend on themselves now.

so long for now. see you all. i'll be missing u... cy, py, wa, qy, hh, zy, qy, wh, jasmine, ly, yx, rubenesh, hx, en... love you all.

Till we meet again;)

她怕了？

前天，因为他们谈天、唱歌，而把正在做的功课耽搁了；而过后被我再加多了功课。
Jasmine可能是因为‘繁多’的功课，今天一比寻常的怕了我。

they 'blur' eyes

i have to get usual with their "blurred" pose. That's what kindergarten for: to teach them all from zero. but i always forgot about that, and treat them like genius.

他会！！

虽然他不爱写字，也不大爱听讲； 就是在他不经意的同时，他吸收了不少 :)

好棒！数学红点算是难的'7'他会了！

"不要一直想着会痛..."

howard的牙齿松了，老师试图教他把坏牙拔掉；在旁围看的同学也为他‘打气’ ...
"不要一直想着会痛..."
"the tooth has no more root, don't scared, no pain..."

他竟然！！！

他竟然在垃圾桶撒尿！！ 而且垃圾桶周围都湿湿的。
好气哦！“you are not animal, why u urine in the dustbin!!!”
“ask u want to urine not, u said 'No'! grrrrr....”
坏家伙，每次问他要上厕所么，他都 say No，结果给我一次又一次的震惊！

she can count

ly can count the sums already; just not sure how to write some of the numbers.

... "6, how to write '6'?"...

他到底怎么了？

kk a smart and lovable kid. but the 2nd half year he has tremendously dropped from his top performance. He's now blurred, no concentration on what he's working on. Totally like 'blank'.

What has happened to him? How come a top student become this?? is it true that what teacher said, "the cup had over flow, and it can't fill anymore water"?

c

eldores wrote a ")" (reverse version of "C"); then i insisted that he needs to write a correct "C". So he added on the "(" (correct version of "C").

There we have.... the logo of 'Chanel'.

尺

四岁学着"尺"，
cy却准备要说：“R /r/...?” (Ruler)

he complained...

rubenesh complained to his mummy that teacher don't want to talk to him.

Yes, it's so true, i did; but that was happened last week.

He didn't know why i ignore him; but for me, i purposely ignore him because he 'ignored' me first.

tortoise vs turtle

tortoise and turtle, these 2 words 'tortured' us.
因为书上的图画是tortoise, 故事的内容却是turtle；
结果，孩子们给图片误解了；把 tortoise 当成了 turtle。

"什么是穷人?"

"这个星期日幼儿园将举办义卖会,所得筹款将捐助给穷人."
"老师,什么是'穷人'?"
@@

why there are always no time for me??

twice a week they have my Phonics lesson. But i always short of time for what i want to teach and deliver to them.

Today, 5-years Phonics, i managed to had 4 filling words for the pictures only.

他只是低着头...

edward被我骂得头低低，不作声。
眼看不对劲了，我从骂转态到严厉+鼓励，一意想要他坚持直到学会为止。

其实比起wa的心不在焉，他是挺有‘耐力’的。尽管我骂得很凶，他也不易掉下眼泪。

知道自己过分苛求，只希望他们能够跟上其他同学的步伐。

"他是我姐姐哦..."

teacher told me, Eldores said these to her:
"他是我姐姐哦, 你为什么骂他！"

因为他的没大没小，结果受了老师两巴掌； 顿时静下，不再反驳了。

wow

孩子懂得某样知识，真的分成好几个阶段: "会读并不表示认得，认得并不一定会写，会写也不一定会读..."
年尾了，也是看看孩子们‘收成’的日子啦； 很欣慰，如果他们真的有所获；很无奈，如果他们还是未开窍。

cy今天给了我一个突破的惊喜！她终于认得字母了，cap and small letters, all she can read out. 且是自己指着书本上的字母练习，‘噼里啪啦’地一一把全部念出。

“cy你今天好厉害哦！”
“mummy教你吗？... daddy教你吗？... 老师教你吗？... 姐姐教你吗？...”她统统都摇头。
“是我自己会的。”she said.

V 手势

我做着count down手势(3...2...1...)， 当数到2时，
hx 插嘴说：“这是拍照时做的手势也。”

"Thank you Teacher Maria Lim!"

"Thank you, children..."
"Thank you Teacher Maria Lim!"

"huh...??"
"children, don't mix up the names."
"Thank you, Teacher ...Lim,"i corrected them.

but still, a few of them just can't change the greeting, cos they've get usual to say 'Thank you, Teacher Maria.'

beater

as you noe, it's hard to find a beater in satria. and today, wa 耍脾气again, refuse to say sorry, (i think). Nothing else i can get to treat as beater, and since i just want to use it to 'fierce' him, and what i can get out of it, was --- a straw.
I dono how much it works? or maybe my words work instead. He finally agree to apologize to his friend.

geram betul!!

鬼鬼祟祟的动作，一见我就跑回原位。 只想问究竟是做了什么；却偏偏要挨了我的手掌，还要我借鞭吓、打的即将才肯说。 其实不是什么魔鬼作为，若肯早把真相说清，根本不用受打。

另两只魔鬼，就趁没人注意时，到厕所玩闹。 发觉他们不见踪影了，结果被我发现他们在厕所外。好聪明，小的立即but镇定走了出去；大的当若无其事地抹手，被我责问是一度说是上厕所；再追问就二度说是玩水。ok, 承认了，也就放了他们一马。怎料principal发现厕所到处有湿湿的碎厕纸。

好人被罚，坏人被赦。 很为好人打抱不平咯！！！

"Urn"

"U, /ugh/, Urn."
"What is 'urn'? Urn can be filled with water; Urn can filled with sand."

"ok, now, tell me what can you put in the urn."

"Urn can be filled with water."
"some more..."
"Urn can filled with sand."
"some more..."
"Urn can be filled with water."
"some more..."
"Urn can filled with sand."
"some more..."
"Urn can be filled with water."
"some more..."
"Urn can filled with sand."
"some more..."
"Urn can be filled with water."

wa kept on repeating the twos that i said.
ok, i can't brainstorm him with new ideas, but at least, he remembered my 2 points:)

what's your mom's name?

"蝌蚪的mummy是谁？"
“青蛙。”

“你的mummy是谁？”
"mummy 咯。"

“你的mummy是谁？”
“我的mummy没有名字的喔...”

“你的mummy是谁？”
“ahh... 好难哦。”

^^ ^^

cry out loud

teacher just asking him to drink his water, may be because of not gentle order, he started to cry out loud. If i, i would rather calm him down and just let him to do what he wants to. ok, this kind of me, would probably spoiled him.

in aeroplane

"Where's your mummy?"
"She went to aeroplane already."

"Where's your daddy then?"
"He also in the aeroplane."

“关你什么事！”

因为他爱做不做的样子，功课虽不见得很多，可是要他做好一半的功课也得用上整个下午, (可能也未必能完成50%)。
不是不会做，是他好玩， 心不在焉。 (都是我的看法。)
眼见他翻着功课，却没有进展；就督促兼警告了他把功课完成，他竟反驳说：“关你什么事！”

wow! 关我什么事？ 真的不关我的事。 干嘛要气，他不做也不关我事，我干嘛要多管闲事？！
你的孩子要酱，我还能怎样？
**他不是5-6岁的孩子了。 我还能'mole'他？？
孺子可教， 他不是不可教， 是父母疏忽没有教？ 天知道。
藤鞭万能么？？ 成绩名列前茅就是好么？？ 怎么大人还比小孩天真？！

小班？？

ooo... 原来‘小班’就是Ben 10.

“我不要读...”

“老师，我不要读...”
就是因为他们只不过是四岁，就放纵他们，由得他们心情好的时候给我跟着读一两句； 不喜欢就让他们自由活动？？
之前我真的是这么想过；上半年，因为他们的不定性，所以允许；现在这下半年，要给他们学习什么是‘有纪律’。

“如果现在不跟着大伙儿读，那过后就你一个人读。 其他人都可以玩拼图，就只有你要留下-一个人从头读起！” 我真的有点儿气了。 她宁可私下和同学玩，也不跟大队朗读。

"求求你"

because of the hyperactive 3 years old, i have to 'beg' for their co-operation 1st before we start our circle time.

"求求你，sit nicely and take turn, ok?" that's what i wish.

After school, then i heard someone imitate what i told them this morning.
“... 求求你, 不要那么坏蛋好不好？ ... ...” guess who? ------ He's the 3-year-old hx.

stop wandering!

"i asked you to put your sweet into your bag, but u've opened it, and ate it."
"now, where you want to go now? Come back to the circle! You are going no where!"
she shook her head. but also, have to listen to me.

塑胶擦

"擦擦擦， 擦擦你的手... ..."
"老师，怎么我擦到有‘塑胶擦’出来的？"
^^ ^^, "是因为你的手肮脏咯。"

14 Sept 2009 - are you feeling frustrated?

"Are you feeling frustrated today?"
"no."
"then why you keep sighing and get angry?"
"because my cousin kept buzzing in my ears yesterday."
"oic."

hahahaa

帮他搽药，好像动到他的笑觉了， 就一直不停地笑，直到我停止为止。
hahahaa... hahaha... hehehehee... hehehee...
