Another Teaching Post

Taught third graders for the first time today. They haven't yet had the excitment of learning English beaten out of them. It's refreshing. ALL of them are still into learning. Our kids here are well-behaved anyway. I heard horror stories from other teachers where the kids have to punch themselves--hard-- in the head when they do something wrong and the rest of the class counts out loud. It's crazy. All we do here is have the kids clap a certain number of claps, to get their attention focused. Anyway, I must find some Sing-Alongs for them on YouTube, and perhaps teach them some fun childrens' games or tongue twisters or improv. I could have a lot of fun with this job. Just gotta be creative.
