exploring the unknown...

My first teaching experience is strictly connected with a group of 10 5,5-year-olds that you can see in the attached picture. In fact, I struggle to teach them some English since October 2009 :) All right, it's not that bad! Honestly, I love working with them! I can't even describe how filled with joy I am when I see their progress, when they use some English words to each other or when they sing our song after the lesson. But what is the most important thing about teaching preschool children is the fact that I absorb an extremely positive attitude to life and no matter how bad my day is I simply forget about things that upset me. I guess their boundless energy is kind of infectious. That is really great! And sometimes they talk such funny things that I'm left speechless.
However!!!! I should also mention the fact that sometimes I feel as if I had 100 children, not 10..an then I'm powerless. They can be so evil!! They are, for example, rebellious, jealous of me!, nooooisy and wild that I don't want to see them for the next 10 years!!!! It really took me a lot of time to find some good remedies for such an unaccepted behaviour.

The pictures were made when they were having a fancy-dress party in their nursery school. It was January, I think. You can see some of the children wearing fancy-dress costumes! Some of the pupils looked like real characters from the famous cartoon stories!
By the way they are drawing themselves!
Look at they boy in the left corner..Kacper..he doesn't like me :( but only sometimes, as he claims ;) But generally, children keep repeating that they love me, that I'm so great, that they love English classes with me, that they don't want to finish lessons..then I'm so motivated!
I really adore these small creatures :)

Oh, and this is how a boy in the red costume (look at the picture above) sees himself:
