Voluntering at my son's school

Every Fridays of February I attended my son’s private school Gymnasium for Art and Crafting lesson. From my student’s time, I liked drawing, creating, crafting and constructing. When I became a teacher, I did crafting with young learners on different occasions as Mother’s Day, Army Day etc . I like doing learning by doing technique. Then, with seniors, I taught how to reuse some old things. After my exchange trips, I liked volunteering work. From my experience, I have observed that teachers sometimes do not create or construct. They face some challenges. There will be much noise and it will be hard to explain the instructions with younger learners. Besides, not all students bring all the things for the art lesson such as construction paper, glue, scissors, modelling clay colored pencils. It is the third Friday I attend my son’s lessons and volunteer there. I co teach with his teacher. I have taught them how to make handmade cards for their fathers on Army day. They were very excited and offered me to do the same with mother’s day. It was noisy. My desk was overcrowded. I told them to sit at their desk but they do not. Student do not listen well the instruction. The stronger students perform quickly and impatiently ask for the next step. The weaker students do slower. The teacher helped me to manage the class. However, the product at the end was very rewarding. Students were very happy to make gifts with their hands. They wrote the wishes and it was ready to give. As for me as parent, I will be very happy if my son will give and made card. It is not the end, I had an idea to conduct a competition for 16 boys on 23 February. National Army Day. I asked boys about who is hero and who is their Disney heroes. They said : Spiderman, Batman, Captain American Flashman, Green Lantern etc. And they talked about their super powers. I asked themwhat is ther super power at school. They said they can read, draw, sing song songs and a good handwriting. Then I announced about the speed reading contest. 16 boys competed. I put them in pairs. Each pair had different text fromtheir book and read and another students was time keeper. I have created an award "super reader" with the image of superman. Fur students eere winners who had 39. 44,45,53 words per minute.
