Behaved students!

I teach all day on Saturdays and I have 4 classes so it's a full day. Of course not all my classes are going to go so well and there are going to be some naughty students. I've been tired all week and my half-day class has been draining all my energy/spirits which I meet 2x a week. I don't know if it's because of them or of my low expectations but I definitely was not looking forward to teaching today since I had my half-day class yesterday. I don't meet them today but I was just tired and last week, my last Sat. class was super naughty and didn't want to do anything. Anyway all my classes for the most part behaved. Of course they weren't angels but some of my students were really surprised me. I had do an oral exam this morning and my slowest students did so well, I was literally in shock lol Then in the afternoon my one class that WAS slow is now super smart. They understood everything and we had time to do so many things including playing a game using multiple sentences in present and past tense and new sentence structure with voc. words.

My young kindergarten level is now understanding more and we can actually play more competitive games. It was hard since there are 24 students (the max) in one class and it's hard to play games with such a large class especially since they were learning their ABCs. The last hour of class which I dread is my older junior year students who's in a lower English level class. Today they actually wanted to do the work and participate. They even did jumping jacks which I made them do for punishment.

Anyway today was actually a great communication day between me and my classes. Now I just wish my half-day class can be okay and then I will be fine lol
