chidlren (either with butter or with chocolate pieces, or both..:-))..We also taste them..(it´s delicious, still a bit warm..:-))we bring the small ones some candies and chocolate and thank Ann-Mari for her perfect lessons!
She´s really an amazing teacher (we noticed that already during the very first lesson, remember..- look into the "old posting" in the weblog:-)) and she says goodbye to us with words : "Remember that you´ve chosen the best job in the world" (meaning of course the job as a teacher..:-))And what about English lessons? In the 3rd class pupils keep "working" on description of a house, in the 4th grade children listen to a song "Going to a zoo" and start a new unit in their textbooks- "Invitations to a party" (Else asks us to read the dialogues for the class..Do you remember, girls, who was Heavy Duty, Brains, Rita etc.?!;-))..in the next lesson they read these dialogues on their own and I must say they´re really good at it (I´m really nicely suprised), then they colour pictures in their Activity books according to what Else dictates/says..An finally the 7th graders and the first lessons of our own teaching here in Denmark! The first lesson is on Monday and Jette comes too to see us..We´re a bit nervous not knowing what to expect, what kind of children the pupils are, will they cooperate etc.? We start the lesson with a short crosswords (revision of irregular verbs)- solution: London (topic we´re going to talk about with them in the following 3 lessons)..brainstorming/thought shower about London follows (children name mostly some of the sights, but they also know who a "bobby" is, or they put "baked beans" on the blackboard too..:-))We show them our Powerpoint presentation we´ve prepared for them (introducing some of the most visited sights in London, sth about London transport, symbols and famous Londoners.. Children seem to be a bit shy, they don´t react so much to our questions, but it´s ok, we´re quite strangers for them and they´re still curious about us...We´re giving them the homework for Thursday to prepare a project about London in groups..On Wednesday we´ve got small problems with technique (internet connection) but finally we manage and the rest of the lesson runs smoothly (warm up activity- scrambled letters- revision of the sights; Mr Bean movie; Powerpoint presentation- Royal Family- what a coincidence: the Danish Queen celebrates that day the 16th April her birthday!:-)) and on Thursday it´s up to children to present their work (many of them didn´t do their HW so they´re given some time at the beginning of the lesson to finish it- they complain that 15 minutes it´s not enough..-but there is probably some reason why we called this task as a homework, isn´t it?;-))..We listen to their presentations (some of them have chosen the topic "Harrods", the others "Madame Tussaud´s ")..pupils aren´t so active as we expected, they laugh most of the time while standing in front of their classmates and make them speak a bit more is being quite a hard job..:-)We say to them goodbye with a package of biscuits and talk about our teaching experience with Else (we also come to "topics" such as "class register"- they aren´t used in this school!; each class has its own rules that are set through an agreement between a teacher and pupils; and what is specail about this school is a "telephone room"= a room where you can use a phone indeed but this room also serves as a place where children having misbehaved during the lesson are sent to take a "thinking break"...:-)) During the break we´re offered some rolls that are served because of a coming bank/public holiday in Demark (18th April- "the Great praying day"- nobody is supposed to work that day, origins in a "bakers´ story"). The 3 weeks at Kristne Friskole were really nice and I can´t miss here the mention about the kindness and friendliness of teachers in that school who were incredibly nice to us all the time..THANK ALL OF YOU!
