i've always loved, using videos and songs to teach English. eversince the sharing session we had sometime in February, the many resources shared had given me lots of opportunity to expose the pupils to them.
i'd gone to www.grammarmancomic.com and had used most of the free stuff from the link and adjust them to accomodate to my pupils' ability. (gosh...i still sound so teacher-ly...reminds me of my EPMS)
anyway, the kids had learnt many songs and today, during our daily 'Show & Tell', one kid, a bo-chap Japanese who has killer IQ (always scoring full marks for Math and solving challenging sums within 5 minutes!), actually decided to sing one of the songs I had taught them!
it was too bad i could not record the whole session. the rest of the class enjoyed his singing although it was a bit off key at the beginning. but hey, no one's born a star. (hmmm..actually yes, the latest twins ) as he started singing, the class was gleefully watching him and they sang along when he reached the chorus. they sang "top of the world" by The Carpenters.
well, the kids did it again. it's as if they know that i'm leaving and they had been tugging my heartstrings since the term started. i had been less angry with them and obviously, there had been less scolding.
i was so full of emotion when the whole class started singing, without music. and they sang so well, damn well.
they noticed my tears.
i just felt like hugging all 35 of them.
and they still do not know i'm leaving...real soon...
i hope to leave...with as much love as possible..
kids, never question why they exist..
