Today we went back to the kindergarten class to teach our lessons. Jeff and Nick got the little rascals that Ryan and I had on Monday, and Ryan and I got the class that they had. My lesson was the same as last time, with the exception of a relay race game I added in. The class was small in comparison to our last. My lesson went exceptionally well. The kids were well behaved and participated in all the activities. When I finished my lesson Ryan went in and taught his. The students were angels for him as well. I stood outside the class and peered in the other room to see how Jeff's lesson was going. It was mad chaos in there. The kids were running around the room screaming, while Jeff stood there with a dumbfound look and his hands on his head. He walked over to Moz,who was in the room sitting by the door taking notes of Jeff's lesson. Jeff told Moz that the kids were ruining his lesson and that he wanted to leave. Moz told him to get a grip on the situation and do his best. I stood watching everything and laughing on the inside. Jeff rolled his eyes and went back to try and get the kids attention, but he was unsuccessful. After a few minutes of the kids going bonkers, Moz stood up, and very sternly told the kids to sit down and be quiet in Thai. The class went silent, and all of the kids sat down. Jeff was able to teach them a few vocabulary words during this short period of obedience, but that only lasted a minute before they were galloping around the room squawking like wild animals. After observing Jeff with the class, I had to give Ryan and I kudos for how much better our lessons went with the rascals. When we all finished our lessons we went back to school. At school we were given our second test, the subject being, the differences between Thai and English in its written form, and the complications that Thai students might have in the classroom. The test was a breeze. Afterwards we ate lunch at the boomerag. When we finished lunch we headed back to school where we were given our next teaching assignment. Moz told us that an all girls catholic school needed us to teach next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. He said that it would be split up; two would go Tuesday, and two on Wednesday. Ryan and I volunteered to go first. I got two fourth grade classes and Ryan got two fifth grade classes. Our last class would be first graders,which we would teach together. He told us that the school was very strict on appearance and that we would need to wear dress shoes. Neither Ryan or I had dress shoes, so we made a note of buying some over the weekend. During our break at school, Nick told us that Jeff caused an accident on the road this morning. He said that Jeff was swerving in and out of traffic on his bike and cut a motorcyclist off, causing the man to crash.This was the second incident in which Jeff caused a crash. I guess the police showed up and took down his information. When Nick told us this it didn't surprise me, since he had already caused a car accident the week before last. The man is a serious menace to society. After school Ryan and I went back to our apartment. We didn't do much with the rest of our day since we were tired from the poor night sleep we got the night before. For dinner we ate at a place nearby and then retired to our room with movies for the rest of the night.
