Hello readers haha. Today, as a special episode, I’ve prepared a look at my class preparation that nobody is curious about.

🌱새싹작까

I mentioned that I had three months of experience. Back then, I was in a special education class, and since the kids understood everything, could write, and could answer questions, I just had to follow the textbook. It was easy because I didn't have to do any separate lesson preparation.

🌱새싹작까

They were smart kids who knew they had to listen to their teacher, so I was treated like a teacher without any power struggles or anything like that. I taught Korean and Math.

However, the children I will be in charge of this time are from a special school, so their disabilities are much more severe. In special education classes, the children can still participate in lessons mixed with typical children, whereas they attend special schools precisely because that is difficult.

🌱새싹작까

Anyway, I ended up teaching four subjects: Korean, Math, Science, and Art. I had to prepare for classes without knowing the children's exact levels.

🌱새싹작까

My biggest concern is repeating, tracing lines, coloring, drawing curves, gluing, and sticking stickers. The kids who are better at that are cutting with scissors and writing words...

🌱새싹작까

My main concern was how to conduct diverse and fun lessons for children with such limited technical skills. If I just print out worksheets every time, the class isn't fun, you know.

🌱새싹작까

Especially since I'm not good at reading, there aren't many classes I can take. And if I try speaking classes, there don't seem to be any suitable options.

🌱새싹작까

On Mondays, I have two hours of Korean and one hour of Science class, haha. So, the first Korean lesson I prepared is a self-introduction class.

🌱새싹작까

If you just go out and are told to introduce yourself, it won't be fun, and you won't know what to talk about.

🌱새싹작까

I’ve prepared this activity: look at the pictures, name the animals and fruits, choose and stick your favorites on the board, and trace their names at the top! After that, I’m going to have a session where they come to the front and introduce themselves.

🌱새싹작까

I printed photos of the kids in the top left corner as well haha. The one you see right now is mine, so there are no photos on it haha. Also, that file is a sheet music file, and I highly recommend it lol. It's great because you can write right away. Just be careful! It tears easily.

🌱새싹작까

For the second Korean and science classes, I simply printed out worksheets haha. I really don't know what to teach for science, so I think I'll have to rely on worksheets.

🌱새싹작까

Please share any good lesson ideas you may have or things you've done in school haha.

🌱새싹작까

And while I was thinking about how to conduct speaking classes, which I consider to be relatively easy and important for the children, I thought that having discussion classes would be fun.

🌱새싹작까

I'm planning to keep the topic simple!! Something like talking about my favorite subject haha.

🌱새싹작까

I even prepared a microphone like this haha. I'm going to use it during discussion time heh. I wanted to buy it quickly, so I splurged on my own money heh. It's a booster meant to make everyone want to speak right away. I bought it because it looked just like a real microphone, but now I regret it a little and wonder if I should have bought a colorful one that kids would like.

🌱새싹작까

To be honest, I'm not sure if the class will even work out that way. If they can't even copy 'Ga', we might end up just doing line tracing. I was debating whether to start with 'G' or 'Ga', but I wondered what meaning 'G' would have for the kids, so I decided to start with 'Ga'.

🌱새싹작까

Do you remember when I explained the administrative staff early in Season 1 that some classes were even worse, involving volunteers or public service workers? It turned out my class was like that, hahaha.

🌱새싹작까

There were even staff members and volunteers there. ㅠㅠ The special education class didn't even have staff. ㅠㅠ Two people are watching my class. ㅠㅠ

🌱새싹작까

The second round of the teacher certification exam consists of an interview and mock lessons, so I'm just comforting myself by thinking that this will at least be helpful for the mock lessons.

🌱새싹작까

They say even the PE teacher will come to our class to help out during lunchtime lol. Ugh, it's such a burden.

🌱새싹작까

I'd like to say more, but I'll stop here in case I end up spoiling Season 3 haha. I posted this just in case anyone was curious about the actual classes. Thanks for reading this far haha. It's not even the main story, yet it's already 1900 characters haha.

🌱새싹작까

Well then, have a delicious dinner everyone haha.

🌱새싹작까

I had pizza for an early dinner haha. Goobne Pizza is good!!!
