Really good. All the kids are very good listeners and very well bahaved. The loved painting and I’m excited to continue as I think they can learn a lot during the series.

I opened up with an introduction, and told the class what we would be learning about. Introduced some classroom expectations. I began the lesson with a 5 minute free paint. After that I introduced the topic of today and we started painting. Movement break half way through, finished our paintings. Then wrapped up.

Again I was nervous with such a large group of kids but everybody was soo well behaved. And eager to play. Some kids didn’t enjoy some games so much but much more enjoyed others, I think it’s good especially with such a large group of mixed abilities to have 2 activities happening simultaneously and give the kids a choice. But today went well and I’m excited to continue. I also knew sooo many kids at this school from summer camp so that was awesome.

We first did introductions and went over some rules. We played a quick game of tag to warm up. I then divided the group into 4 and we played 2 separate games of soccer. Half way through I gave the kids a 5 minute break to use the bathroom and to drink water/apply sunscreen. After the break I let the kids choose between banana tag or kickball. And 2 separate games continued until the end of class. We done a small closing circle and said our goodbyes.

Genuinely excellent. I’ve never had so many kids in a class before so I was a little nervous. But everybody was soo nice and well behaved. Everybody seemed to love the lesson and was eager to learn. A great class to teach

Same exact format as yesterday. Introductions, classroom expectations. 5 minute free draw. Introduce the topic of today. First assignment. Movement break. Second assignment. Recap and goodbyes

Great first day, I feel very optimistic and prepared moving forward

First class of the year :), I started by introducing myself, and letting the kids do the same, I then went over the classroom expectations that I have. Told everybody what the series was about. I then started with a 5 minute quiet free draw. I introduced the topic of today aided with pictures, we made our first drawing as I walked around and asked kids more about themselves and refreshing myself with names. We took a break half way through to play a quick game. After that we made our second drawing. We all cleaned up together and lined up at the door. I have everybody a sticker and we said goodbye

Perfect. Easy peasy!

Last animals class of the year. Today’s topic was endangered animals, we made drawing based on endangered animals. And at the end we also made “nature protector” badges. Very good way to end the series

Very fun. The last day of class is always nice as the kids it’s ending and it feels a little more special.

Today was our last day of chess class this year. So we done a friendly tournament. Participation was optional, with a chess board as a prize for the winner. We still took a break half way through class. The kids loved the tournament and the winners were very proud. Awesome class

Wonderful. Me and the kids both have a lot of fun during this lesson. It’s awesome to see them wanting to create and draw soo much.

Today’s lesson was on “animals with super powers”. I started the class with a 5 minute silent free draw. Then explained the lesson, aided with some pictures and a video. I introduced them to animals that had abilities that seem supernatural. And we started to draw some of these animals. The second task was to create an imaginary animal super powers. We then made “Pokémon cards” with stats included for our animals. The kids loved this and did not want a movement break. We spent the last 10 minutes of class battling our animals cards against each other.

Perfect, easy peasy :)

I started by refreshing expectations. Then a quick lightning round of questions to test their knowledge and what everybody has learned so far. We played our first game of chess. Half way through class we took a break so I could answer any questions and introduce the lesson of today. We then played our second game, switching partners. At the end of class we had a quick wrap up and clean up, then we said our goodbyes.

Perfect. Easy peasy. It’s great to see the kids enjoying learning, and I like teaching something I know a lot about.

After welcoming the kids and going over expectations, I started class with a 5 minute silent free draw. After that we started the lesson. The topic today was “fossils” following last weeks topic or “extinct animals”. I explained assisted with a video and pictures. I also passed around a real life fossil I had from home. The assignment today was to make your own fossil using craft materials and paper. As a movement break we played a game where we hid our fossils around the room and went on a “fossil hunt” to find them after that it was clean up and goodbyes.

Perfect, easy peasy, no problem.

Today’s lesson was on “decomposers” I started the class with going over expectations, then a quiet 5 minute free draw. I then introduced the lesson of today aided with a short video. We made our first drawings. Movement break. We then made our second drawings. Wrap up, clean up and then goodbyes.
