This first week was quite okay as the teaching and learning went on as usual. After a week in this school I never thought it will be as this tough and tiring. It is like 180 degree of turning from my college life. The very first time in this school, I was so pleased that the headmaster and other staffs are being very good towards us.
Besides, my first day at the school started with assembly. We were being introduced to the school community by the PK HEM. The theme for that week is ‘Discipline week’. Moreover, the way they lined-up during the assembly was also a new experience for me. My first experience walking into class is when I have to replace my mentor’s class.
I was quite blurr on the first day because I really did not know what I should do. However, I applied my experiences during the first practicum to control the classroom. Firstly, I did the ice breaking activity with year 2 Bestari. I introduced myself and get to know each other. It took me 15 minutes to do the ice breaking session with the pupils. After that I carried on the lesson where the teacher had stop. Through ice breaking session, I realized that the pupils’ language proficiency is fairly good although there are some of them are weak. Hence, I started to plan in my mind what kind of activity that I can use to cater with their level of language proficiency.
I realized that this would be a challenge for me to teach because I need to use many teaching aids to aid them to understand my lesson. The next day, I introduced a few class rules to them. One of my rule is they need to listen to teachers in the class. As soon as I imposed the rules and regulations in the class, I find that they are hard to follow the rules because some of the rules were not being practice since the beginning of the school.
On top of that, the very first week, my friends and I were given schedule during our time here. I was quite excited and happy to get the time table. Besides that, I got the chance to be in the meeting with other senior teachers and feel like I am being part of the school. I hope that the upcoming weeks will be good one to me.
