Its amazing how God works through people

It has been 4 weeks since I was attached to Holy Innocents for my practicum. It has been very hectic however wonderful experience for me. Every weekend, I found myself rushing out lesson plans for the following week as I never seem to be in the correct frame of mind to plan lessons on weekdays. Most of my weekdays are spent marking and going through the lessons before actually presenting it to the children.

Nothing beats the joy of conducting a great lesson where both the kids and you enjoy and much learning is done. The sparkle in the kid's eyes when they finally understood a new concept which you taught them makes all the preps worthwhile.

Today was the first observation done by the school's SCM. It was done in my class with the rowdiest kids. However, during the time of observation, all the kids were extremely well behaved. Every child was so cooperative and knew exactly what was expected of them. Even the kid that would go running all around the classroom from time to time set extremely still and raised his hands quietly to answer the questions asked.

Initially, I was worried that the kids would misbehave. Therefore I prayed and committed everything to God. Its amazing to see how God works through the children, my co. teacher and even the SCM. The entire observation went extremely well. I'd like to affirm the goodness in each and every child.

Next week, I would be having another 2 major observations done by the Principal & my supervisor from NIE. I'll continue to work hard and prepare the lessons and give off my best for the benefit of the children, and I'll leave the rest to God's Will.

Weekends up and coming. There's a ZJ session this Saturday. Hope I'd be able to make it. I'd have to finish up with all the lesson plans before the session.
