Great, very good kids who listened and enjoyed the class :)

Today I started the class with a 5 minute silent drawing. When this was done I introduced the kids to the topic of the day, with picture examples and a short video, we then done our first drawing. Half way through I done a movement break with the kids and then I introduced them to the second part of the class. We sat down for our final drawing but then we were interrupted as kids and teachers entered the room. Our class was stopped 15 minutes early, I’m not sure why. the time of this class was changed today to be 15 minutes later and maybe not everybody was aware which resulted in a little confusion. So I did not have a closing with the kids today.

Wonderful, I’ve been learning a lot through my observations of other teachers and I thought I’d try some new things today. The kids really enjoyed the lesson today and I was really happy to see it. They wished art class was 2 hours long 😅 and I got some heartfelt goodbyes at the end of the lesson.

Today for an opening I gave everybody the task to silent free paint for 10 minutes. This is something new I tried today and it worked really well. After free paint each kid took turns showing the painting and explaining. After this I explained the lesson of today (distance), showing examples and also explaining using a real life painting. We all started painting again. Today we did not have a movement break, the kids were very focused on the work and really wanted to continue painting.

Great. Everything went according to plan and the kids are really enjoying chess. However these kids are really young and they all want to sit next to me, play with me, and talk to me, and so it’s difficult to divide my attention, I’ll be prepared for this next week 😅

Chess class, like always, open with a quick refresher of some expectations and what we learned last week. Then we played our first game, half way through the class we take a break for me to answer any questions and introduce the lesson of today, we watched a short video and then I gave some useful insights. For our next game we switch partners and play until closing. For the end we do another refresher on the lesson of today and say our goodbyes

Perfect :) I really like teaching at this school. More and more kids have been joining each week. Class goes according to plan. The kids are fun and they all enjoy chess

Today was a chess class, all of the students are playing really well so today we learned some new skills. Beginning with a refresher on expectations and what we learned last week. We played our first game. Half way we took a break and I explained the lesson of today. We played or second game, then did a small wrap up before going home

Wonderful. Super fun and easy class, the kids are great fun. They love to make art, they are very funny and creative. Everything went according to plan and I really felt the kids learned something.

At the start we went over some classroom expectations and then we I explained the theme of today aided by pictures we then watched a short video and played a quick game based on our topic. We started our drawings while listening to calming music. Half way through we took a short movement break before finishing our drawings. At the end we gathered around and everybody got a turn to explain their art then we said our goodbyes

Perfectly fine. Everything went according to plan, and the lesson was very fun.

Welcomed the students, refreshed names and classroom expectations. Explained the lesson of today aided with example pictures. First half the class we started our paintings. Then a small movement break. Second half of the class we finished our paintings. All artwork was set on the table and we gathered around to talk about it as a conclusions, then we said our goodbyes

Excellent. I really like this school and the kids are great. Everything went exactly according to plan. It was a perfect chess class.

This class was a small group of students, some I already knew from last year. At the start I did a quick get to know ice breaker. I then briefly went over some rules and explanations. I gathered all the kids together and went over the rules of chess with everybody, also getting their feedback on what they knew. We played some chess for 30 minutes. Half way through the class I gathered the kids again to refresh the rules once more and to explain the new skill of the day, I played a small video for the kids based on our topic before we switched chess partners. For closing I went over the new topic again with the kids and we said our goodbyes

Perfect, I’ve never had a class this big but I was confident I could manage. Everything went smoothly. We had fun and we learned :)

Today was the second class of the series, we had some new students join us today with a grand total of 21 kids now. Today we had a new classroom to accommodate more students. I opening the lesson with a welcome, a small introduction and classroom expectations. I began teaching with a recap in the rules of chess while we were all gathered around the board. Straight into our first game. Half way through we took a break to discuss problems and questions, then I introduced the kids to the lesson of today, each week they will learn something new. We watched a video then we done some examples in the chess board. For the second half of the class they switched partners. To end we gathered together again and discussed what we learned and to answer any questions. This class was great. Straight forward and exactly according to plan. I really like teaching at this school and the kids are great 👍

Today’s class went really well and according to plan. Text book first class. These kids are really young many of them 4 years old so I was not expecting how much attention they would want as individuals, and how short their attention spans would be. It was a very fun class, it seemed all the kids enjoyed it and so did I.

Today was first class of the series so a quick introduction and ice breaker game. Classroom expectations. Introduction to today’s topic. Some examples pictures and a short video. Activity began, movement break was a game and then I showed another short video before completing the second half of the class. Wrap up, clean up, and then goodbyes. This class is about animals and learning through art. Today’s topic was based on camouflage, we made art using colouring pencils, crayons and markers based on animals using camouflage.

Excellent, I already know most of the kids from previous classes and from summer camp. The lesson today was fun, straight forward and easy to teach, the kids enjoyed it and so did I.

First we opening up with a small introduction, round the table saying “your name and something that you like”. Then we went over some expectations and rules of the classroom. This is an art class, each week we will learn something new, the topic of today was “colour and emotion”. I explained the topic, showed lots of examples while getting their opinion. We then watched a short movie clip related to the topic. I handed out paper and materials and we began to create our “emotion monsters”. Kids picked and emotion or feeling and created characters to represent those feelings, while being very mindful of the colours they chose. Quick wrap up, and goodbye
