Sea-Teacher Program Day 2

7th August 2017

Monday 7th August 2017 I wake up early this morning because it will be my first day at Demonstration Udon Thani Rajabhat University School. Fortunately my school not too far like the others friends so I can catch it by foot with Herni. She used to be a student teacher for pre-school. We walk at 07.15 a.m. We arrived there at 07.28 a.m and have a warm welcoming by the teachers there. Mrs. Niw introduced me with Mrs.Ee’ another english teacher there. At 08.10 a.m the school have a ceremony then the students start from grade 3 to 6 gather at the field and grade 1 to 2  in front of their class. At the ceremony I and Herni introduce ourselves in front of students using Thai language that we learned yesterday. I was so nervous back then because i can not pronounce it well :D I used to using english to repeat it again. But over all its going well.  

The moment to introduce ourselves in front of students

After ceremony I started to observe grade 4, but before that Mrs. Niw show me my table and room. I feel so special because its out of my expectations for having my own table T.T. I seat behind Mrs. Ee’ table (at least i have someone to ask in my room, lol XD ). 

My Table 

When entering grade 4 I got suprised seing the class because the room look very different from my country  because the students already grouping in their seat. The teacher who teach at that time is Mr. Kim. The amount of the lesson about 100 minutes which are divided in to 2 (the first 50 minutes-10 minutes break-the second 50 minutes). To start the lesson Mr. Kim  decide which one be group 1 up  to 9 and wrote the list of group 1 up to 9. Then Mr. Kim give some multiplication questions and who can answer it will get 1 point for their group. Every students interest for answering the questions, Mr. Kim need to repeat sometime to know who’s fastest raising their hand. After giving some questions Mr. Kim gave  every groups worksheet and ask them to work with it. Then  Mr. Kim walk around to saw students work, sometime students walk to the Mr. Kim and ask him. Every worksheet have a picture , so when students already finish their work some of students start colouring those picture. Mr.Kim ask the students who have finished their work and want to come forward to present their work after break. After that Mr. Kim gave them worksheet again to spend the 2nd 50 minutes.

After observing grade 4 Mr. Leng ask me to observe grade 5. The  teacher  who lead the mathematic there is Mrs. Nam. Grade 5 learning about fraction now. Different thing that I saw in grade 4, Mrs. Nam teach students by explain it first and then grouping the students by the table that already set up. She ask students to facing opposite with the whiteboard while she write the questions for every group in the whiteboard. After  finished the questions she ask students to answer it. The grade 5 students also active, most of them come forward to answer the questions. When all group already answered the questions, Mrs. Nam ask students to check the answer together. After that she ask students to do an exercise in the book. Who already finished their exercise can check the answer by bringing their book to Mrs. Nam. The class end at 11.30 a.m  and they have a break for lunch until 12.50 p.m
