I am glad that ......

I am glad that many of my students' parents opted to let their children continue in the school. I do wish that I can follow my students up for their final year. And that, for now, remains as a wish.

I am beginning to see the fruits of my labour in my students. They are beginning to write and a handful of them can even manage a paragraph. Since day one I took the class, I exposed them to lots of reading and prints. I get them to express their thoughts whenever I flash a picture. I encourage them to build on their sentences. And now, they are writing their expressions out, all on their own. I am so glad to see even the weaker students managing the tasks well. Today, as I put up their love expressions to our nation on the display board, I was beaming with pride.


They are also confident speakers now. With the regular show and tell, plus coming up in front of the class to attempt to read a book, answer a question, etc. the children now are no longer shy when they are in the "limelight". There is also much less prompting from me. This round's show and tell is so purely children's input and achievements.

There are still a few more projects at hand. I know they can manage. I just need more time with them. Let me clear the national day and butterfly park ones first.

Busy, busy, busy ..... but glad .....

Love,
Jesselyn Ng
