The trial class was arranged smoothly, except that the time was a bit tight. The class started at 2 p.m., and Lin Wei only had one morning and one lunch to prepare.
For experienced teachers, a few hours of lesson preparation time is enough, but Lin Wei has no experience and time is a bit tight.
Fortunately, Principal Feng did not mean to make things difficult for her. Not only did he send her the textbooks, he also gave her the lesson plan that Teacher Chen, who was hospitalized for a fracture, had written before the accident, for her reference.
Therefore, although Lin Wei had never formally written a lesson plan before today, after thinking about it for two hours, she still wrote a decent lesson plan.
In order to speak fluently on stage, Lin Wei gave three trial lectures at home after writing the lesson plan. As for the students, in addition to Mingming, Ruirui and Xiao Shitou, Chen Bamei also came to make up the number.
Although Chen Bamei was just there to make up the numbers, she also made the most suggestions.
Because Teacher Chen teaches the second grade, Lin Wei will also teach the second grade content. Don't think that these second graders have just been promoted from the first grade and will learn similar content.
In fact, what students learn in the second grade is much more profound than that in the first grade.
Lin Wei taught the children basically according to the first-grade textbook, but the progress was much slower than that of the first-grade teachers in the military primary school.
But no matter how slow I am, in the first month or so of school, the teacher has only taught those same things, such as vowels and vowels, relatives' titles, names of daily items, etc. I haven't learned any longer sentences.
Children who have just started second grade for a month have already started learning long texts, memorizing ancient poems and doing reading comprehension.
Therefore, although the three children learned a lot of words from Lin Wei, they seemed to understand her lectures, but also seemed not to understand very well. Anyway, they were a little confused.
In this regard, Chen Bamei is better than the other three children, although her strength is limited. This is not because she cannot understand what Lin Wei is saying, but because she has never been to school and her foundation is too poor.
Although Lin Wei had them read the textbook through before the lecture, she read it again when she was lecturing in sections and also taught the key words again. But the text was too long, and Chen Bamei couldn't remember so much content at once. So after listening to her lecture and looking at the textbook again, there were still many words she didn't recognize.
But not knowing how to read did not affect Chen Bamei's understanding of the story, because Lin Wei explained it very simply.
In addition, Chen Bamei had a clear purpose in listening to the class. Unlike some other children, she was so fascinated by the story while listening that she completely forgot her tasks.
Therefore, she could point out where Lin Wei spoke well and where she spoke not so well.
After listening to Chen Bamei's opinions, Lin Wei slightly modified the lesson plan and then explained it to them again.
With the foundation of the first time, Ruirui basically understood it this time. Although his comprehension ability was not as good as Chen Bamei's, he had a good memory. After reading it through for the first time, he could basically read the words in the text. However, due to his limited life experience, he can read many words but does not quite understand their meaning, so it is a bit difficult for him to understand the whole text.
But when Lin Wei was revising the lesson plan, Ruirui asked Chen Bamei about the content he didn't understand. After her explanation and listening to his mother's lesson for the second time, Ruirui was able to put forward his own opinions.
As for Mingming and Xiao Shitou, they were just there to make up the numbers from beginning to end because their comprehension was not as good as Chen Bamei's, and their memory was not as good as Ruirui's.
Fortunately, Chen Bamei and Ruirui’s suggestions were enough. By the third time, Lin Wei’s lecture had become very smooth, and she didn’t even need to look at the lesson plan anymore. It looked quite decent.
Although Mingming and Xiao Shitou couldn't give any advice, they secretly rehearsed a dance when no one else was noticing, to cheer Lin Wei up before she went out.
It was called dancing, but in fact the two children were just jumping and waving their hands, shouting in a loud voice: "Mom/Auntie is the best, come on mom/auntie!"
Lin Wei covered her face: "..." Fortunately, her home was at the innermost part of the family area, otherwise if others saw her, she would not want to go out.
…
Although when Chen Wenfang first told Lin Wei about this, Lin Wei was worried that she would be scared when teaching the children. But in fact, the more she attended to large-scale events, the calmer she became, and she finished the lesson very steadily.
Feng Ying, who was sitting at the back of the classroom and listening to the entire class, and Zhao Aifang, the veteran teacher invited by Feng Ying, were both very satisfied with Lin Wei's performance.
To say that she was satisfied was actually an understatement. Feng Ying was truly pleasantly surprised.
Although Lin Wei's lectures were not very experienced and there were pauses during the lectures, her style of quoting from classics was something that other current teachers in the military district primary school did not have.
It's not just the military district primary school. Looking at the entire autonomous prefecture, there are only a handful of schools with a similar style to Lin Wei's.
There are two reasons for this. First, because of the big movement, many people are afraid. They always feel that the more they speak, the more mistakes they make. So they start to read from the textbook when giving lectures. They talk about what the key points are marked in the textbook and dare not diverge. Second, many new teachers in recent years have not received serious education for several years and their literary literacy is not good enough, so it is difficult to ask them to quote from classics.
Moreover, Lin Wei is very good at mobilizing children's emotions. Feng Ying noticed that no child was in a daze in the class. Not only that, when Lin Wei asked questions, the children were very enthusiastic.
Even in Feng Ying's own class, such moments rarely occur.
Therefore, after the trial class, Feng Ying directly confirmed the substitute teaching matter with Lin Wei.
Although she was a substitute teacher, Lin Wei received no discount on her salary, which was 26 yuan per month. She also received the same industrial coupons and various benefits as regular employees.
The rest is similar to what I said before, teaching two classes, four classes a day, and no need to sit in the office. But there are morning reading classes almost every day. However, considering the students from far away places, the morning reading classes in the military primary school are connected with the four morning classes. In other words, it will be fine as long as Lin Wei can arrive at school at 7:20.
Moreover, the children can just recite the text by themselves during the morning reading class. All she has to do is take a look from time to time and check the results of their recitation. Anyway, she doesn't need to say much.
Knowing that Lin Wei had two children, Feng Ying specifically said that she could bring the children to school, and the military wife who was responsible for cooking could help take care of them. If she is worried, she can bring the child to the class as long as the child does not cry.
In general, the conditions are very relaxed.
After negotiating the terms, Feng Ying said that since Lin Wei hadn't finished her class yet, she might as well teach the next class as well, and she would be paid starting from today.
Lin Wei: “…”Okay.
…
It may be because Yazhou Island is at a low latitude and the temperature has not dropped in October, so the military primary school still has a nap at noon and the get out of class schedule has not been adjusted.
They have classes at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Each class is 45 minutes long and the two classes end at 3:40.
After the course, Feng Ying personally went to Lin Wei's office and arranged a new desk for her. She also distributed teaching plan books, pens, ink and other office supplies, and introduced her to many colleagues.
Like other units, the teachers in the military district primary school are basically all military wives. Lin Wei knows them all, so there is no need for Feng Ying to introduce them specifically. But she followed Feng Ying without saying anything and greeted everyone with a smile.
Everyone was very friendly. After Feng Ying left, Huang Aiyun, the military wife sitting across from Lin Wei, said, "Principal Feng can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that you've joined us."
Zhao Yanhua, who was sitting at the desk behind Huang Aiyun, also turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, Principal Feng has been worried for several days. As soon as you came, she smiled."
Lin Wei didn't know how to respond to this. If she said yes, she would be taking herself too seriously, but if she said no, she would be too hypocritical. It was no secret that two teachers from the military primary school were hospitalized one after another, and Feng Ying was extremely anxious. What's more, she was sitting with everyone just because of this opportunity.
So Lin Wei put on her standard smile that showed she could handle anything, and said modestly that she was a newcomer and had never been a teacher before. She might have a lot to ask everyone in the future, so please don't mind.
If Lin Wei had not entered the military primary school under special circumstances and was only a substitute teacher, some people in the office would have looked down on her in their hearts after hearing this, even if they didn't say it openly.
One might even think that Feng Ying is out of her mind. Even though the student is only in the second grade, we can't ask someone with no teaching experience to substitute for the class.
But there are no ifs. Before Lin Wei came, not only Feng Ying was worried, everyone was under pressure. One reason was that the leader was in a bad mood, and the other was that they were afraid that the leader would add more tasks to them.
After Lin Wei came, not only did Feng Ying smile, but everyone else breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You are too modest. If you don't have the ability, the principal would never let you substitute for the class no matter how anxious he is."
Having said that, he still patted his chest and said afterwards: "If you have any questions in the future, just ask us. Although we don't teach second grade, we still have experience."
For a while, the office was full of joy, and Lin Wei successfully integrated into the group of teachers.
When it was time to pack up and go home, Lin Wei went with Huang Aiyun. Huang Aiyun did not have a class teacher with her and usually did not attend the last class.
However, not long after entering the family quarters, the two separated. Huang Aiyun lived in the row house, and the two were not on the same route.
Lin Wei walked straight ahead and turned inside when she arrived at Zhou's house, preparing to call Mingming and Ruirui home.
Because there was no one in the Zhou family's front yard, Lin Wei walked straight in and followed the sound to the backyard, where she saw Chen Bamei and her three children playing hopscotch.
When Lin Wei came in, it was Mingming who was dancing. The game had already entered the second half and the territory had been almost divided. He obviously had not won many times, so after throwing the tiles, he never put down his right foot.
When he finally jumped to the end and was about to squat down to pick up the tiles, Ruirui suddenly shouted "Mom". He heard the sound and instinctively wanted to turn his head, but he didn't see his mother, so he sat down on the ground.
After he sat firmly on the ground, he saw Lin Wei, but he didn't bother to call for help. He complained to his brother, "It's all your fault. I almost found the tile!"
Ruirui: “…” He is so wronged!
Chen Bamei was an older girl and took them to play these games mainly to coax the children. She had no desire to win or lose, so after hearing Mingming say that, she suggested that he continue picking up tiles.
Ruirui, as the "culprit" who caused her brother to sit on his butt, of course had no objection. Xiao Shitou didn't care. After all, the area he circled was the second to last, so there was no chance of him winning.
Mingming, who was last in the group, did not give up. Hearing what was said, he stood up, crossed his legs and continued to pick up tiles.
But his lower body was unstable, so jumping on one leg was easy, but squatting on one leg with one leg lifted up was a bit difficult for him. So before he completely squatted down, he sat back and squatted.
This time, there was clearly no one to blame, so he could only sigh and walk off the field.
The next person to come on stage was Ruirui. The territory he circled was the second largest among the four people, and he was the biggest one, so he easily jumped to the last one. Moreover, when he picked up the tiles, he did it while squatting.
The gap was so huge that Mingming's heart was about to break, and he held Lin Wei's hand and refused to let go.
But Ruirui didn't win in the end. After all, Chen Bamei was a grown-up girl with a flexible body. Even if she let go, it was still easy for her to beat those little brats.
Because the result was expected, the winners were not too happy, and the losers were not too discouraged.
In fact, when the game was over, they were more concerned about Lin Wei's trial class results.
Maybe during the trial class, Lin Wei guessed the result from Feng Ying's expression, so she didn't feel particularly excited after getting a positive answer.
Until Ruirui asked her just now, Lin Wei was very calm and had no intention of showing off at all.
But at this moment, seeing the expectant expressions of Chen Bamei and the three children, Lin Wei couldn't help but brag and said proudly, "With me, this job will be easy!"
It’s just obvious that Lin Wei was showing off to the wrong person.
After she finished speaking, the four people on the other side were confused. Ruirui asked, "Mom, what is easy to catch?"
Lin Wei: "...It means it's over."
The big one and the small three all breathed a sigh of relief. Mingming blinked his eyes and asked, "Mom, are you a teacher now?"
"Yes, but it's only temporary." Lin Wei said.
Rarity wondered, "Why is it temporary?"
Lin Wei explained: "Because my mother went to help substitute for the teacher in the primary school because a teacher was sick. When the sick teacher recovered and returned to school, my mother was no longer a teacher."
Ruirui suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
Mingming asked expectantly, "Is mom going to work?"
Because Lin Wei had a job before joining the army, Ruirui knew what it meant to go to work, and immediately asked, "Mom is going to work, what should my brother and I do?"
“Stupid!” Mingming immediately leaned over to Ruirui’s ear and whispered, “When mommy goes to work, no one will supervise us and we can play as much as we want!”
Chen Bamei said: "I can help take care of Mingming and Ruirui."
Mingming turned around after hearing that and looked at Lin Wei with shining eyes.
Although his mother hasn't nodded yet, he has clearly already imagined his future life in his mind, sleeping until he wakes up naturally and playing games until his legs cramp.
More importantly, from now on, he no longer has to go to class!
In this happy moment, he clearly chose to forget the fact that Lin Wei was only a temporary substitute teacher and would be leaving the position in three months at most.
And Lin Wei, after meeting Mingming's expectant gaze, slightly raised the corners of her lips - and then, ruthlessly broke his fantasy: "No need, I'll take them to school."
"Is this convenient?" Chen Bamei asked.
Lin Wei smiled and said, "Adding two tables at the back of the classroom is not inconvenient at all. It can also allow them to be more influenced and feel the atmosphere of school in advance."
Mingming asked with a trembling voice: "Then Mom, if we follow you to class, do we not have to go to class when we come back?"
"Of course...that's impossible." Lin Wei deliberately dragged out her voice, "Including morning reading, I have five classes every day. If the classes are all scheduled in the morning, then the afternoon classes will remain the same. If classes are scheduled in the afternoon, then we will move the classes to the morning. Don't worry, Mom will definitely not let work interfere with your studies!"
Mingming's eyes were filled with tears: "..." Please delay!
