Bu Jeng loves to write on the whiteboard. Originally this started with writing the Day and Date on the board, but progressed to finding any opportunity to doodle on the whiteboard.

After several warnings, I took the marker from him and drew a rectangle on the board and wrote: ONLY TEACHERS CAN WRITE ON THE WHITEBOARD.

Bu Jeng got quite upset and walked back to his seat, bent his head and said “Ms. Geeta you must share your white board.

I realized – ‘Yes I was really being selfish!’

Boy: Thank you…
Female Teacher: (Pastes some coloured paper on artwork.)
Boy: No… I don’t want it like this…
Female Teacher: Oh, I’m sorry, dear.
Boy: Hey! Don’t call me that. I’m not an animal.

Scenario: P2 Discovery Lesson

Teacher: I’ll be giving smiley faces to those who look and listen when I’m teaching.
I have a good memory so I’ll be looking at who is paying attention and give the smiley face later during choice time.

20 minutes later, teacher is showing some things to class.

Teacher: Oh dear! I forgot to bring one of the things that I want to show the class. I’m sorry class.

Student: (raised hand) But, Ms Lydia, just now you said that you have a good memory.
If you have a good memory, how come you forget to bring the thing?
