Today was the first collection for the Cross Country Fund Raising race. I was hoping that my class would cooperate and at least bring $10 each for the first collection but only a few answered my pleas. It all boils down to attitude. They are enjoying the good facilities now because of the funds raised by previous batches. I really hope they could show some appreciation and gratitude to their alma mater. I really hope they would be able to raise more funds after the CNY clelebrations. Of course, there are some pupils who will always try their best to help the school. so proud and mighty pleased with them! I have a pupil who is on financial assistance but she managed to raise $20. Cool ! I am so proud of her fund-raising efforts.
Today, I also taught my 5B comprehension skills. I know that some of them are not interested. They are pretending to do their work. Yet I couldn't attend to them. I had to attend to those who want to learn so I went around helping those who were earnestly trying out the compre questions and I can see that slowly but surely they are mastering the skills. I wish that all of them would treat this exercise seriously. They are so weak; yet they dun seem to want to master these ever-important techniques. They only got a little serious after I scolded them and glared at them. I am going to have to punish them tomorrow should they not do their homework. I guess I will have to come down hard on them.. no more Mr nice guy or should I say nice lady!
Anyway, I am excited about the class play. Darren A and I sat down and worked out the script last Fri. We had a lot of fun and laughed like crazy. Some others joined us and gave us brilliant ideas. I think JJ is quite creative. He has lots of ideas. Now, all it takes is some editing and our play would be quite cool! heheh hopefully...
