This Tuesday's lesson has been quite an interesting experience. Before this lesson, we only needed to conduct some icebreakers and get to know each other. This lesson was slightly different as we were required to teach them how to do art and conduct the actual hands-on activities. Firstly,it was comforting to find that the children finally got our names right and even recognised us. All we need to do now is to attach the names to their faces instead of simply having a name list.
There was some slight misunderstanding in the lesson. The teacher did not know that we would be conducting the lesson that early and threw some of the tissue boxes away. Fortunately, there were enough boxes for the children. To prevent such incidents from reoccurring,we got the teacher's phone number so we can contact her directly. Furthermore, we can also share our lesson ideas with her as she is experienced and likes to help us with our lessons.
During the hands-on itself, we should have no problem managing the children. However, in case there is a problem, the teacher is always there to help us resolve it. When we conduct hands-on activities, it is important to have everybody engaged. Some of the children were bored waiting for their turn to draw and decorate the boxes. We must also be aware of them and understand that they can be sensitive or shy or emotional and we should learn how to approach them.
