Lu Yanxi watched this warm and loving interaction from the side and couldn't help but wonder if this was the same Ye Weiran who said she didn't like children before.
"Teacher Xiaoxi," the little boy next to him said in a grand voice, holding up a biscuit, "Here you can eat."
Lu Yanxi rolled his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, honey, but Teacher Xiaoxi is full, you can eat it yourself."
After eating snacks, the third period began. The children sat neatly in a row on the chairs in the middle of the classroom.
This is a math class and we are learning about subtraction.
Lu Yanxi and Ye Weiran moved a stool to sit at the end of the classroom to listen. If you didn't listen, you wouldn't know that such a simple subtraction problem within twenty requires so many props.
"Children, the teacher now has a fruit basket in her hand." Teacher Tingting posted a card with a plastic fruit basket on the whiteboard.
"Which child can help the teacher put 10 apples in the basket now?"
"I!"
"Me, me, me!" The children rushed to raise their hands.
"Qiqi, please come up and help the teacher load the apples."
"Now ask another child to help the teacher eat three apples."
"Then who can tell the teacher now how many apples are left in the basket?"
"7!"
There were also children who raised their little fingers and counted one by one, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." Then they shouted loudly, "There are 7 left."
Lu Yanxi had not seen such a lively and interactive classroom atmosphere in a long time, and he listened with great interest.
"There were 10 apples in the basket at the beginning. After 3 were eaten, 7 were left. So we know that 10 minus 3 equals..."
"7!" Lu Yanxi also answered along with the children.
...
In this way, the whiteboard was quickly filled with small cards of various fruits and small animals.
A class is not very long, and the children's attention is still concentrated until the end of get out of class.
"Teaching children is really not as easy as I thought." Lu Yanxi felt that she had gained something from this lesson.
An hour ago, Lu Yanxi and Ye Weiran thought that today would be a fun and happy day, but an hour later they already felt exhausted.
As a relatively scarce male teacher in kindergarten, Ye Weiran gave full play to his role as a labor force this afternoon.
First, they carried the food back to the second floor from the canteen, then moved the tables, handed out plates, moved the cribs, and cleaned. They worked one after another until the children took a nap before they had time to breathe.
Lu Yanxi's side wasn't much better. During the free time after dinner and before going to bed, she almost felt like her eardrums were about to be broken by the screams of the children.
When I first came in and saw them, I thought they were so lively and cute.
Now I just feel like it’s really noisy.
"Teacher Xiaoxi, let's play together." A little girl jumped up to Lu Yanxi who was sitting on the side and put her little hand on her shoulder as if she knew her well.
Lu Yanxi was a little tired, but couldn't bear to refuse her, so he nodded, "Okay, what do you want to play?"
"Would you like to play eagle and catch chickens? You can be the eagle."
"Okay, okay, let's play like an eagle and catch a little girl." Upon hearing this, the other children also chirped and gathered around.
Isn't it just to be an eagle and risk everything?
"Okay!" Lu Yanxi stood up, put his two "paws" next to his ears and made a very "ferocious" expression.
"Then my eagle is going to start catching chicks. Hurry up and hide behind the mother chicken."
"I'm coming!"
"Ah~~!"
"Hahaha..."
The whole place was filled with the excited screams of children, happy to escape and still happy after being caught.
Lu Yanxi discovered that he would never be able to catch all the chickens, because the rules didn't matter at all, and the caught baby chickens would still return to the team.
I was almost exhausted, but the children were still full of energy.
I used to think that going to class would be tiring enough, but now I realize that playing with them is even more tiring.
His eyes caught Ye Weiran who had just finished mopping the floor. Lu Yanxi pointed at him and shouted: "Children, how about letting Teacher Xiaoye be the eagle this time?"
"Okay!" The children clapped their hands and jumped excitedly. "Teacher Xiaoye will be the eagle."
Lu Yanxi nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he could finally take a rest.
Just as he was about to run away, he was grabbed by a child and said, "Teacher Xiaoxi, please be the mother chicken."
"That's right, Teacher Xiaoxi, don't even think about running away." Ye Weiran directed the children behind him, "Hurry up and hide behind your mother chicken."
At the command, a group of cuties swooped up behind Lu Yanxi.
"Then I'm going to catch it." This time the eagle was obviously much more powerful than the one just now. After a while, the team of chickens behind them fell apart, and the baby chickens screamed and scattered.
The eagle moved gracefully here and there, and the mother hen tried hard to protect the chicks behind her. Everyone was smiling happily.
Lu Yanxi and Ye Weiran hadn't played eagle and chicken together for a long time. When he came, she found the game more interesting.
