Saturday, April 14, 2007 V for Victory!Strange how a lil kiddo can truly make your day. Was in class, distributing spelling books and facilitating as the kids try out some vocab exercises when out of the blue, V's voice ran out,"Ji Jiu! Ji Jiu(Emergency Rescue)!" Irritated that he dared to interrupt their desk work, I was about to pounce on him when I saw what he was doing. V was rushing to another boy's table, grabbed a UHU glue stick and busily rubbing it onto a tiny piece of paper. It was the tiny Post-it flap I stuck on his spelling book to remind him about dictation corrections. Somehow it was torn into 2 and he flew into a panic. He glued it onto a huge A4 white piece of paper and proceeded to cut the 'mended' flap out. To ensure it was secure, he included 3 staples on it, somewhat like the stitches on a wound. I only saw the finished product when he came and asked me about the dictation passage, as he could not find it. It brought a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Background of V? A terribly cheena boy who spouts grammatically incorrect sentences if he has to converse in English and is brilliantly fluent in Mandarin, often forced by me to translate what he wants to say from Mandarin to English. A boy whose face turned beetroot red when I merely placed my hand over his shoulder once and whispered to him to concentrate in class, while the whole class watched on. My reliable 'spy' cum bodyguard for this other boy who has a tendency to sneak home after sch without reporting to me. Shall post up a photo of the tiny flap, perhaps frame it up or something when it comes back to me on Tue. Labels: Ramblings
