First Week in Youngest Class

This Wednesday was the first day for Pre-K student to join class. There were kind of new things they brought. That day my class had new family, 3 little children. For 5 prior students, they could enjoy the class and followed the activity enjoyably. They came forward to share their activity during holiday. The youngest student kept turn around the class. Okey, that was the 'bonus' for me.

For this situation, I can see that children can study because of the habit. The students that have joined for 6 month of course different from the children who joined only for 3 days. It challenge me to adapt with new situation again.

I remembered my first experience become new teacher in pre-school 6 months ago. I had to observe my new responsibility as co-teacher, to handle class, to understand my little student FOR THE FIRST. I feel difficulties to cover all my task. I feel I can't be the part of the children. It was very difficult. I feel comfortable after 5 months. I think it was the long time to feel comfortable but I did it.

Now, I have to flexible to adapt with new situation again. I have to face with new students who have a lot of way to get what they want. I think I have to very-very flexible because I will have this situation every months in my class.

These are kind of my students' way to get what they want :
1. hold everything that can they hold to stay
2. cry and run as they can
3. don't want to sit on mat
4. run around the class
5. play on playing area
6. lay down on the mat
7. look for their attaches
8. go to toilet

They need time to know class rule and it can be happen if the teacher have right way to introduce class rule for youngest children.
