First week of teaching

The week hasn't ended but it felt really long already. Teaching definitely isn't easy and teachers are definitely damn 伟大. On my first day I really expected to like do nothing but observe lessons. To my HORROR, I was actually told that I had to teach a sec 1 class as that class didn't have a teacher. Then suddenly I had like stacks of worksheets handed to me. Wow...shocking. But thankfully it was a sec 1 class and what I had to do was easy. Since its their first lesson that day cause last week was orientation, so all I had to do was introduction and then teach them a bit of stats very briefly. The girls weren't how I expected them to be. I thought they would be shy and quiet since they are sec 1s. But they are actually a lively bunch! And I really enjoy lessons with them. They're so inquisitive. However, they sometimes ask really random questions like why do you always wear dresses and sadly, why are your shoes so ugly. (To my defense, I was wearing court shoes that day! Court shoes are never pretty okay!). Haha.

I have another class, a sec 2 class, which I haven't started teaching. This week is just observation and I'll start teaching them next week. I'm actually really scared because my teacher-mentor said he'll observe at least one lesson per week for the sec 2 class. Nervous. I don't think I can teach well with someone else evaluating me :/ but ah well, I chose this right haha. It will help me become braver I think! But I do have one worry, the sec 2 class seems to be really quiet. So how... :/ later I won't know if they understood my teaching or not.

Oh! My cca is girl guides! The teachers there are all really really friendly and one of them shared with us a lot about her experiences as a teacher, though that kinda caused me to have second thoughts about being a teacher, which was my dream since pri sch. :S It's like teaching has so much responsibilities. Am I up for it? But at least now I'm really enjoying this experience a whole lot! :)
