Assalamualaikum people
Wahlauuu.... propa sangat nak frequently update kann.
Percayalah, niat itu selalu ada, tetapi masa itu yang sering mencemburui kita, Bo.
Seperti yang aku bilang sebelum ini.
err...kalau macam rasa tak pernah aku sebut before this, kau pura pura je lah mengaku aku pernah sebut, penat ni woi!
Teaching these little angels has taught me much more than what i thought i have taught them.
They taught me true meaning & reward of being patient.
They taught me that every single thing really happens for a reason.
They taught me the true meaning of "thank you".
And the list goes.
Barangkali, sampai tahun depan belum tentu aku habis list kan semua pengajaran daripada pengalaman mengajar anak anak kecil itu. Walaupun baru nak menjangkau empat bulan aku bergelar teacher Paghah, masih banyak yang aku bikin aku terkial kial nak handle depa. Tapi yang nyata, depa lagi banyak mengajar aku about things in life, indirectly.
Okay. nak jadi cerita, anak anak aku ni bergabung dengan kelas lain sama umur untuk acara sukan; marching, dance/aerobic & sukaneka.
Agak tough jugak buat aku yang memang takde pengalaman langsung mengajar ni, apatah lagi menari macam kayu ni, nak mengajar kanak kanak menari.
Aku? Menari??
Dapat pulak anak anak pelbagai ragam kreatif dorang. Betul weh, dorang ni semua stok otak geliga, dan kuat berangan pun ye.
Kadang kadang aku kena pura2 bercakap dengan tiang lampu atau pokok untuk grab attention dorang. Class teacher the other class yg pengalaman berapa puluh tahun pun naik pening nak layan kekreatifan & keaktifan depa ni hahaha.
But of course, as a teacher, sabar tu kena letak paling depan. Pesanan mummy aku pegang kuat
"Level tadika, level anak2 yang kena banyak sabar, and be polite but firm, bukan garang. Kalau buat garang, sangat not healthy for their mental development"
Walaupun kadang2 teacher Paghah bertempik macam petir, tapi aku ngaku, tak mampu nak jadi garang sangat. (kalau marah budak, nanti lepas tu aku yang panik nk pujuk balik. pui!)
So we keep on practicing....err...well, teka la sapa yang kena paling beria melompat menari tetengah panas tu (kids practice under the shades okeh, teacher yang terpaksa berterik supaya nampak all the kids punya movements).
Well, i did some reading on how to grab their attention (thus the reason i talked to a tree the other day), and how to make them get what we taught them.
Keyword are: sabar. repeat. & puji.
For things they did correctly, tell them they did well.
A word as simple as "Good!" with a smile can really uplift their spirit and make them more eager to do better.
Alhamdulillah, as for today, after about three weeks practicing (dengan choreograph baru bebetul setel last Friday mwahaha), they did it very well!
Most importantly, they did well AND enjoyed it too! Syukuuuuur Alhamdulillah!
Cause i asked my class
"Children, thank you for today, im proud of you! You did very well! Was that fun?"
and i got a very loud YES from all of them!
^.^
Some time, do some high five with them, THEY LOVE it!!
Surprisingly, a girl (from the other class) came to me today after school, while waiting for her ride home.
"Thank you teacher!"
I was shocked. "Thank you for what, my dear?"
"For such a nice dance, teacher!"
"Is that so? Well, you're welcome, my dear! Thanks to you too, coz u did very well just now, didn't you?"
"i love it, teacher!"
Awww... sweet girl!
Walaupun time practice, she looked like she was somewhere else once in a while, but hey! She really did a good one, though.
Everyone did! yeayy!
In short, that is how i tackle kids.
Puji when they did good.
If they did wrong, sabar, jangan marah but correct them instead.
And smile. All the time.
If u teach them dancing, YOU dance together and show them how to enjoy the dance.
Baiklah. Teacher Paghah rasa nak tercabut kaki hari ni, i should get some rest now.
Walaupun hakikatnya menulis blog bukan la pakai kaki pun kan, tapi ....eh perlu pulak aku nak justify kan. Harusss!
Okay dear people, till then!
Toodles!
