Sweet Grade 2 Experience 3

A girl always holds muk muk with her. She begged me to let her bring it to the playground and I said nope because I don't want her to lose it or get it dirty. Suddenly, she burst into tears, holding muk muk in her hand with a thick and long blue mark on muk muk's face.

Me: Oh no... What happens?
Adam (came to me): I was trying to open the pen and the ink came out. She was just right beside me.
Me: okay, you go throw the pen away.

Me to the girl: okay, so that's why you shouldn't take muk muk out to the field. Put it in your bag now.

The girl was sobbing badly and nodding her head.

Molly said to this girl: well, do you need a hug?
The muk muk girl: (sobbing and nodding)
Then Molly hugged her.
Then another girl offered to hug her too.

After 3-5 hugs, the muk muk girl stoped crying and played happily.

How nice to see a hug can solve everything!

The other day, this girl tap my arm and ask:

Kayla: hmmm Miss Yam are you coming tomorrow?
Me: I don't know yet.
Kayla: well, I just want to tell you that it's good to have you here.
Me: Thank you!

Such a sweet girl!

Sweet Grade 2 Experience 1

The school board sent me to a grade 2 classroom and honey told me to give it a try because it should be similar to teaching the kids in church

okay, so I went for to days and it turns out to be a sweet and memorable experience.

The grade 2, the 7-8 years old , is a group of children who is so cute.

One boy would come to you and tell you that he has to water the plant. He's responsible for watering it everyday. Later I found out it's a plant his mother gave the teacher. But seriously, it's over-watering!

Another boy would come to you at story time:

Ben: I can read the story for you. I can read really well
Me: okay, thank you. But I'll read it.
Ben: If you need help, I am here right beside you. And I can help when you need me.
Me: okay.
Ben: Okay. (Start looking around at other students and stand beside me)
Me: Ben, sit down.
Ben (whisper): okay

Throughout the story-telling time, he kept whispering the words beside my ear to help me pronounce it.
