YAY!!! Finally ended the IEP interventions. Now it's time for a break. I'm not worried about post-tests, which is what we're left with. The kids were lovely and they showed so much improvements!!! This was mainly what constituted to our success! =DEntered the centre, and before we started anything we prepared. Then i took out the box of shortbread that I baked and handed to Rach. And I said to her, "Early Christmas Present. Merry Christmas." Then I added with a smile, "It's for the kids." Hahahas.. Her reaction was genuine and she commented, "I thought it was for me." Hehs. Of cos she's gonna get something, but not that. Something that will go along great with her wake-me-up drink ;)Talked briefly with Sherin on the kids' up-coming concert this coming Sat. Need to be there by 7.30am =.-lll Sheesh! I gotta think of ways to get there by that early. Maybe check with Wendy see if she wants to meet up tgt.Okay, back to interventions. Finally complete our 4 interventions and like I said, the children are really lovely and cooperative. We could really see the improvements, and of course Naidu also gave constructive feedbacks on our intervention that she assessed. Overall I'll say we did a great job! C sweety was really sweet, she picked flowers for all of us, and gave us in the middle of our post-conference. Totally relating it back to the earlier storytelling session for today's intervention. This was how big our interventions had impacted them! A.W.E.S.O.M.E~ ^^ Even Y.S and T'vis who didn't managed to join us during the intervention wanted to be part of it after their swimming lesson. Of cos we let them! I could really see that they were looking forward to it as much as we do.Hm... good storyteller... Hahahahas, I'm not being hypocritical or being totally fake here, but I don't think I'm a good storyteller. I can't be this open and unrestricted with people much, only with the group that I'm familiar with.I believe that a good storyteller has to be somebody who really takes in the environment and the audience (in this case the children), and work with them and the story with full of expressions and enjoyment. Someone who has to be able to work in all kinds of situation and must have quick reflexes(in another words: smarter than the children) when storytelling.Honestly, I'm nt that kind of person, because I'm a lil slow-to-warm-up kind, even if I don't look like that. But I can be that kind of person(someone who totally lets go and be bold) once I get to know a grp of people. So that's the reason why I was seen as a "good storyteller" for our interventions, cos the kids know me well enough to know not to cross the line, and I know them well enough to know that they'll still be amazing and cooperative during lesson times even if I go down to their level and be friends with them outside lesson times.
But thanks for saying that I am a good storyteller. Really happy about that and sincerely thank for the comments.Kudos to J2SKZ! ^_^ Now we're left with Chpt 3-5 of our IEP paper. We can do it! Totally!!! =D
