(sorry for the big big wall of text, you may skip most of it and just go down all the way )
Hi there guys,
a friend asked me if I could help out as an assistant labguagl teacher at the school his wife works so I gave him vita and let him send it to the school....
Now they hired me as an Substrate Teacher to teach a first grade class for about three weeks.
I am no teacher, I don't have the qualifications or any experience, the only teaching I ever did was doing IT class back in the days because my teacher had no clue about IT at all plus I did teach some kids mat the spoets club to help out my trainer.
Yesterday the Teacher wasn't there for the first time leaving me alone with the kids for one hour and I noticed that they were trying how far they can go and I had no idea how to stop it :/
Today I did some lessons but their teacher was still sitting in the classroom so it was okay (still was a little bit of a mess when everyone stormed to the board because I told them that everyone can write down a math question for everyone to solve)
from tomorrow I will be all alone with them teaching
English, Math, Science, Social Science, IT and Art ...
While I can speak English I am not sure if I can actually teach kids and well art... we always climbed out of the window to play soccer as our teacher was on drugs usually so I never did anything in Art lessons (never likes to draw even as a child)
There was no Social Science back in my time at school only had some stuff they teach in SS as a separate class
Yesterday in English class I tries to make them think up a story while the sentences have to start in alphabetical order but in the end there was not a "story" and the always used stuff like "the ant did" "the bird did" "the caterpillar did" ... :/
But I have to admit those kids are pure suggar and usually behave very well ^^ still I can see a lot of trouble comming to me
-----------------------------
Anyone with teaching experiences here who could give me some good hints ?
Maybe even games or songs that are good for little kids.
I thought of showing them the hokey cokey song/dance as I believe they don't know it and maybe do very easy sudoku in math but thats pretty much everything I came up with for now
(there are 7 kids in the class only, all of them Japanese but they speak rather good english as they learned it since kindergarden)
