Steven.

After recess while walking back to class:

Iman: Miss Sim, just now the big boys bully us!
Soowei: What did they do? They beat you? Scolded you?
Haziq: They called us PIGs!

Steven overheard, he placed his hands on Haziq's shoulder: But, we love to eat pigs!

Both Haziq and Iman stared blankly at Steven.

Steven: Really!!

Steven was trying to be kind and comforting but I guessed he had just rubbed salt to the wound unintentionally. Haaa kids. Didn't I just tell you that I am teaching the most wonderful kids in the world? :)

Probability.

Soowei: Dear God, please send us a cab that will take all 5 of us. Amen.
Cab Uncle: 好！上车！

What's the probability of a cab uncle willing to take 5 people and earn that couple of dollars @ the risk of a fine?

Low.

What's the probability of praying for a cab uncle to be willing to take 5 people and having it answered?

High!

What's the probability of having the taxi uncle to be a non believer and yet been to Grace Assembly before?

Low.

What's the probability of this uncle coming to know Jesus soon?

Jesus I am sure you will make it all possible in your timing. Amen.

With God all things are possible! :)

Sing a Ding Ding and Learn Vowels.

A great site to teach vowels. Or say, a trigger? Am sure the children would LURve it.
Technically, when 2 vowels come together they are usually what we call a long vowel or a diphthong but I guess to children we should just simplify. :)

Ng Kian Tat.

Scene One - Social Studies lesson.
"Draw what comes to your mind when you think of Chinese New Year"

Soowei: Kian tat, your classmates are already colouring may I know why you are still not drawing anything?

Kian Tat (in a real serious tone): I am thinking!

Soowei: Erm right. Do you mind thinking a little faster cos you have been thinking for the past 20 mins.

Just before the bell rings, Kian Tat had his sudden inspiration but he still drew atrociously. sigh

Scene Two - During English Lesson when everyone is supposed to hand in their worksheets

Reported by grp leader that Ng Kian Tat did not bring his worksheet and when I checked, I found his worksheet underneath his table - UNDONE!!! Whats worse? Practice 12, 14 and 17 were there too. At that moment....Soowei RRrrrrrrrOARed

Soowei: Kian Tat, bring me to your mummy after school. You are staying back!

Kian Tat Remained Dreaming....

Scene Three - At school gate with mum

Soowei: So, Kian Tat give me one good reason why you don't like to do homework.

For a good 1 minute he remained motionless

Mum: 快点跟老师讲！！

Kian Tat: 我还在想!!!

I nearly fainted...

I Wish....

This week, we are on the topic of "I wish..." for English and I got the children tp journal about what they would like to wish for. Here are a couple of my favorites:

By: Boon Ching, 8 Yrs Old
One of my Xiao Fei feis
He wished to be a rock star.
I told him that I would be there at his concert when he has one. :)

By: Anelka Bredan Tan, 8 Years Old
One of the dreamers and jokers in class
He said, "I wish you a merry Christmas...yade yade yade and a Happy new Year"
I wished him the same and mentioned that its rather early for one.
Haa introduced to him the term "December".
