Part Time Job: International School Library Week @ RAIS

Image from their website

Earlier this morning, I received a phone call from the Principal's office of Ramkhamhaeng Adventist International School to cover a class (again) because the same teacher last time was absent. I had no clue about the subjects for today, but I was glad everything was ready.

I was told to come at 7:40am. But as usual, I was early because my boyfriend offered me a ride this morning and I was so excited, happy, and ready to teach.

I taught the same class yesterday... Grade 1-A and Grade 1-B. My subjects were English (spelling quiz), Math (problem-solving), and Religion (coloring the pictures). The last period was called "adventure", where they watch a short cartoon via LCD projector.

There were 10 students in my class (5 were absent). I told them to make a line and we went to the Bldg. C together, I had to guide them as they were running, shouting, and pushing on our way to the hallways and the floors. It was a tiring but fulfilling job. When we arrived, I checked if they were all there and once in a while told them to remain silent while watching and listening to the program.

The program was about "International School Library Week" which is celebrated on October 10-14, 2011. The objective of the program is to introduce a new way of learning not only through books but the use of the internet in researching and studying, they called this new system "Britannica Online School Edition for PREk-12". They were taught to use it (username and password)Encouraging the students to read more books and stories every day.

There was a storytelling activity held by Teacher Lily (the adviser of Grade 1-B, She's from Alabama). She was also the host of the trivia contest about "library and books". Students are really smart and could speak good English. I could tell the differences because I taught students of the same grade level in a government school. The children enjoyed watching the show and so was I.

After the program, we went back to the room. Our next subject was Math. Then, we had our lunch at Canteen's Cafeteria. Teacher Lily and I talked about school and her country. She's fun to be with!

Classes ended at 2:40pm. It was raining hard and the flood made me panic that time. But, I got home safely. Thank God!
