I told my 7yo Susanna to draw more fairies on her paper. 6yo Maya and 6yo Shayna wanted to draw fairies too! I told them not because their ideas were different. Both insisted, but I rejected them.
Maya didn't do a good job and requested to her redraw original idea on new piece of paper, there, I gave her another piece of paper. But, Shayna insisted me to draw a fairy on her paper, I rejected her, I even showed her how to draw a fairy demostrating on the white board. She stomp her feet and demand that I should help her :s
"No Teacher Esther, I want the fairy on the paper right now!" There goes her temper again.
I told her "This is an art competition, teacher is not allowed to help you, I only can guide you!"
7yo Benjamin interfered, "Shayna, stop it! Teacher Esther said no means no!"
Shayna stomp her feet and threw a pencil right onto his head!
I was about to give her a lesson and furious Benjamin threw back to her and targeting on her head!
"I supposed to scold one person and now I have to scold 2 persons!" I raised my voice with my big wide eyes!
Both were terrified by my facial expression and apologized immediately to each other!
Back to their work. Every lesson I would share some interesting stories to my students, but this time I was so regret to do it on this lesson... Shayna decided to change her mind on her drawing after I told them the story! She demanded for a new piece of paper! I told her if she changed her mind again, no more paper to be given! We supposed to save the trees!!!!!!
Again, she asked for help when she had hard time drawing a kingfisher. There, I showed her on the board again.
"Teacher Esther, I want that kingfisher on the paper right now!" Shayna once again throwing her tamtrum!
When I said no, she threw a pencil right onto my chest! There, I gave her a strict look.
Maya stood up from her seat, ran to the front and picked up the pencil and hanged it to me! I was wondering why would she do that, I asked her to put it back and asked Shayna to pick it up and apologized to me in no time. She didn't, and she even crossed her arms... The whole class were shocked by her action.
Times up and lesson ended and I have to get everyone packing up and opened the door for the next class. When I opened the door, the class was quiet and their parents entered the room to help their children. Benjamin reported to his mum about what happened and his mum told her, "No girl, you cannot do that to Teacher Esther..."
Then she stomp her feet and replied, "You're not my Mother!!!!"
Benjamin's Mum was shocked and making sure that her son was behaving in the class. When Shayna's grandma arrived, I told her about what happened, soft spoken grandma told her to apologize, she ran out of the classroom without packing her things! Sigh.... Shayna ah Shayna... :s
