Incisivosaurus

There really had been a rabbitosaurus in the world....
AMAZING!!!

Some fun facts about it:
Name: Incisivosaurus (pronounced as In-siz-ee-voh-sore-us gaw-thee-air-ee)
Meaning Of Name: Gauthier’s Incisor Lizard
Diet: Pine cones, tree bark, and other hard plant matter
Time It Lived: Cretaceous Period, 120 million years ago

A relative of the more famous Oviraptor (Oh-vih-rap-tore), this turkey-sized dinosaur is the oldest known member of its group, the so called “egg thief” dinosaurs. Contrary to its family name, Incisivosaurus probably did not eat eggs, due to its unusual mouth design. Incisivosaurus had a mouth full of plant-grinding molars, premolars, incisors, and canines. These bizarre teeth have given rise to countless absurd descriptions of Incisivosaurus, from “the bucktoothed oviraptorid” to “the rabbitosaurus”. Like rabbits and rodents, it was a gnawer, probably feeding on conifer seeds and other hard plants and plant parts.

Cool bananas....but not tat cute leh i think...but still...never thought there was really RABBITOSAURUS!!!!Wahhah....alwayz thought was smth we came up with ourselves...Okay fine!Just got abit excited abt it...my 'ancestors' leh....-grinz-

And the lessons had to end... ...

Yesterday was officially the last day of my 4 weeks ESE. How time flies isn't it?! Just when i was beginning to enjoy what i was doing, it had to end... ...I had both fun & anxiousness throughout these 4 weeks!!

Though it didn't start off well...Y? Coz there was a massive miscommunication(shall not say it...sensitive stuff u noe?!), and i missed school for the 1st 2 days. Just started teaching them english & maths last thurs. Initially was really terrible...they totally ve no respect for you. It definitely got better this past 1 wk...Yup yup...And i'm kinda enjoying being with them!!!Hahha...

Had observation on wed by HOD & she said it was quite well done...Phew! So glad...I was almost freaking out there in the classroom. But LOTZ of thanks to my mentor for the guidance he gave me esp. giving me ideas on how to deliver that lesson & the children loved it.

Topic was on this reading comprehension ("Movie of the Week"). So i got a movie trailer of Pirates of Carribbean to show them, then read them a review on it, followed by going thru' the WB with them. Coolness isn't it...There's just so much to learn about innovative learning... ...And teaching TODAY not like our time liao.

I appreciate this short experience they gave me though. At least it gives me an idea of how things will be like next time after graduation, and if tat's really the profession that i desire. And i guess u guys know the ans huh?! It's really REWARDING....how sweet some of them were, asking me if i was coming back again?! And i played hop-scotch with some of the girls during recess yesterday...HAHA...it was fun!!

Starting orientation at NIE next wk already...Looking forward to it actually. It's like a new beginning & a fresh start. the feeling is even more than when i started uni 3 yrs back. Feel more FRESHMAN than ever lor. I hope i really achieve smth for myself!!!Wish me luck!

Okie.Shall write till here today...will be back here with more blabber ya?!

Let the lesson begin...

Okay from the heading, you probably can guess...YES!I've finally started my 1st lessons with the class...erm...okay i would say. I was apprenhensive...I am afraid abt not knowing what to do...

English was fun. The topic that i started today is on "Mystery & detective stories". So played a game of Cluedo with the class. I think they had fun too, though it was a very big class and groups were DEFINITELY way TOO BIG.Nice way to start off the topic i think (hee...my mentor told me de..oops)

Then came Maths. Gosh! 1 period only 30 minutes lor and it took me a grand total of 20 WHOLE MINS to get them settled down and at least listen to me!haiz... Hope it gets better tmr....

I'm really NEw to this can...and yah really need to learn my classrm management skills well when i go into NIE....

Okie...more updates on school soon! *i hope this thing is over SOON*
AH....observation by HOD next wk!!!!*faints*

oReO cHeeSeCaKe~

AH!There it is...My Oreo cheesecake!
-HAPPY-
Abit flat though...not like the ones they have at like coffeebean (aka thick slices~)
Coz the portion was only 1/4 of the usual
1st try mah...didn't wanna waste!!!

I just love BAKING....Much more than cooking though coz not as messy!hahah
Shall try making bread again.-grinz-
It's been a while since the last time i tried...And owell...tried to be "innovative" & used carnation milk instead of fresh milk.
So DUH!Obvious wrong choice, but i just had to do that...lalalala... ...

Hope it taste good!!!! Enjoy...
Shall stop here for now, got to go iron my grad gown...woohoo... ...FINALLY!!!

1st wk of school

1st week of ESE certainly did not start off as i expected
Went to sch on monday to find my name not on the 'trainees coming list', and was told to go back...haiz
Then called up moe a THOUSAND times, nobody picked up
Finally, decided i had to do smth about it, i called up nie instead
Great! they got thru' to moe and assured me that things have been informed to the school
I didn't receive ANY call frm the school!!owell....try again tmr

Come tue morning, I rang up school again and AGAIN nothing!
Haiz...What in the world were they doin?
Then i tried calling nie once again....
And yah finally moe decided that they wld speak to the in-charge directly regarding MY POSTING...
the mail to the sch might ve got lost along the way....crap sia!!!

Wed....officially 1st day at school
Was told that i'll be observing classes for 2 wks then followed by actual teaching for the next 2 wks...
Went to class with my mentor for the 1st time...weird...the class is jumpy..cannot sit still
A child lost in the class game, so kicked the tables and chairs
Wat a sight for a 1st day of school i thought

For now, it's still quite boring coz nothing much to do lor
Just following and learn...
Note: NEVER bring them to the computer lab, they are scary in there!!!! So noisy!!!! But no choice, it's their once a week privilege...
Yup yup

Hope things will be much better next wk...the children more settled frm their holidays...
Not as ideal as i thought it to be, but i think i don't feel afraid...
I wanna be there with them...I hope they like me and listens to me...
Thinking of how to prepare my classes for the following wk
It's really not easy being a TEACHER today!

haha...tat's all for this wk...will be back here soon to blabber somemore next wk!!!!

*holiday tomorrow...how nice!*lalalalalalala... ...
