So what is it like being the actual teacher at SYME now? Some classes are hard, some are easy. It is hard because the lesson plans are originally made for classes double or triple the size of what they actually are. One of my lessons said divide classes into groups of three. My class is a group of three. Hummm. So when we finish everything early I have to think of an activity to do to fill in the time. I was playing hangman in the bible study class, after class I was talking to Miss Jodi and she suggested not playing that game with them. Supposedly somewhere in Japan someone got the idea to hang themselves because of the game hangman. I am not using that game ever again in class.
My reading class seems to either run on-time or we run out of time. It is difficult. For conversation, I try and ask more questions so the lesson fills in the time. So far all in all the lessons seem to be going well, the students seem to be understand the topics. Each day brings challenges, and each day some new to learn.
