Library: Tuesday 9/1

Posted by: ikasama on: September 1, 2009

Hello September. We have finally come to the last day of our routine library active classes—only three more sessions. The day began at 8.15 AM when we started playing “Chippie Chip,” a copycat game in which a person has to copy his/her motion from the previous one.

Then, our classes kicked off at 9.30. It was for 6th graders. We didn’t expect it to be so smooth since the other sixth graders’ class on Thursday. An image of quiet, not participating students still lingered in my mind. Surprisingly, this class was more active. Although boys and girls are still separated (I would now assume that it is because of their age), they talked. Also, the class was quieter than yesterday’s 7th graders. It was easier for Beer to control them.

During lunchtime, I played with the kids who came to the library. (It was outside the library, though. A rule keeper or instructor cannot break the rule himself.) Fun, I realized that I had already forgotten a lot of Thai traditional activities.

In the afternoon, we had 2 classes: one for 1st grade and the other for 3rd grade. Classes for younger students were easier than those for older kids. Bee effectively used her kid-loving skills to control young girls. Art, on the other hand, help deal with the boys. With only two people holding the class, everyone else was happy. I’m sure those two were as well.

We held the last drawing contest at 2.30. 7th, 8th, and 9th graders congregated at the place where we had lunch as always. They are older, so we made them read longer articles about techniques to be a good reader and draw what they learned from the reading. The session went well. We now had all of the drawings. The next task is to judge for the winners.
