Teaching English and Finding Friendship

taught English at an English school! Dream began before classes actually started and was me collecting my students
scattered all around the school, like a game of manhunt..but kids not
men. I found two kids nearby and one was new to the school and very shy.
He looked scared and on the verge of tears. The other kid noticed too. I
asked the confident kid who had been here before what his name was. He
said mike. I asked mike to ask the new student what his name was. He did
but the kid didn't respond. I crouched down the kid and said it's okay
bud, I'll help "my name is.." in a way he could repeat, and he looked at
Mike and said "my name is Sam" and then I had him ask Mike what his name
was and he did. Then they were friends. Collected the rest of the kids
and the bell rang.ย My class was like 3rd/4th graders. On this day, the
5th and 6th grade English teachers were out so I had to teach 3 classes
at once in the same room. I divided the room into their 3 grades.
Started off with a "good morning class!" And they responded "good
morning Mr Carson, how are you?" all at once and I knew I had done this
before,despite forgetting how I did it.ย Then, since I forgot how I
normally ran 3 classes in 1, I decided to ask the class! I said "okay
class, we've done this before, where we have 3 classes together\...for a
sticker, who remembers how it goes?" And one of the older girls with
Olivia written on her desk raised her hand. I called on her and she
recalled "you rotate around: you have a lesson with 1 class, you have 1
class read and write and.." some kids started talking but I went up to
their desk and they stopped "..annnnnddddd(she struggled to remember but
then got it!) and the last class plays jeopardy!" Hahah. Excellent job,
Thank you Olivia! And I gave her a lion sticker I had. As I was about to
start with these 3 classes, an older teacher of about 45 came in and
took over the 6th grade class and then Kyle Gallagher came in right
behind and took over the 5th graders, which was Olivia's class. Was
perfect timing and I just started going over intros with my class (which
had the two kids in the hall I made say hi) when I woke up.
