Chapter 148: Supporting Teaching
The two started a long-distance relationship again, but unlike last time, the two of them are very busy now, plus the problem of jet lag, every day before Ye Yu goes to bed, the two will video call for a while.
The kindergarten teacher major is more liberal arts, and the final exams are all content that needs to be memorized, and Ye Yu, who is already heavy in the curriculum, has been even busier in the next few months. I finally survived until the end of the final exam, and I thought of going abroad to play with Ai Hao before the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately I was stopped by my aunt.
The whole family knows about Ye Yu and Ai Hao's falling in love, Liu Mei is very conservative and doesn't worry about her being alone with Ai Hao.
Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, Ai Hao has not returned to China in the past two years, and has relied on video calls to maintain this relationship for two years, and they are very busy with each other.
Soon after the start of the third year, it was time to teach, Ye Yu's department was not only free of tuition, but also did not have to take the teacher qualification certificate by himself, so he had to teach, but those with excellent grades could choose their own location.
Ye Yu chose the prairie, which was Zhou Tingting's hometown, and the two formed a team, as well as three other female classmates from the next class.
The children on the prairie are not poor, but they are sparsely populated, there are few schools, and even fewer come here to be teachers.
Ye Yu is the first time to the prairie, she is very excited to see the endless sea of green grass and dotted yurts, she has long wanted to gallop on the prairie, this time, she must feel it.
Zhou Tingting is a native of the prairie, and the place where she taught this time happened to be the prairie next door to them, and she was also familiar with the village here.
As soon as the five of them arrived, the village chief Aijima led the villagers to a warm reception, and there were countless yurts of different sizes standing on the endless grassland. In addition to yurts, all you can see on the grassland are cattle and sheep, and you can occasionally see some children shuttling among the flocks.
The village chief greeted everyone and arranged the five of them in the largest yurt, let them rest for a while, and then take them on a tour.
The yurt has a unique structure, built of wood and wool felt, which is both strong and warm. The interior is warm and cozy, with exquisite Mongolian embroidery hanging on the walls and soft wool carpets on the floor.
In the yurt, the village chief intimately prepares many Mongolian daily necessities, such as handmade leather goods, exquisite silver ornaments and colorful wool products. Everyone immediately became interested in these handicrafts, and for a moment some people wanted to learn these traditional Mongolian handicraft skills.
After everyone settled down, Ajima warmly invited the five to taste the food of the savannah. At the village chief's house, the table was filled with mouth-watering delicacies, accompanied by the village chief's wife, Abiya.
After everyone took their seats, Ajima picked up a bowl of milk tea and stood up, and everyone got up after seeing it.
"Thank you again for coming, and when we finish eating, I'll take you to our school on the prairie to have a look, and I think the children will definitely like a few."
"Village Chief, you're polite, just call us by name, we're all students."
Zhou Tingting is from here, so she is the leader of the teaching team this time, and when she saw that the village chief was so polite, she hurriedly explained.
"Everyone sit, all sit, taste the food on our grassland, tell us if you are not used to eating, and you can tell us if you want to eat."
Seeing that the five were a little restrained, Abiya pulled her husband. After chatting for a while, they became less inhibited and began to enjoy the food prepared for them by the village chief.
The fragrant hand-handled meat, tearing the meat pieces directly with your hands, the meat is tender and juicy, and melts in your mouth. Steaming haggis, the soup is delicious and nutritious. The village chief also directly prepared a roasted whole lamb, golden and crispy mutton skin, tender and juicy meat, and full of aroma.
Milk tea on the grassland is also indispensable, the hot milk tea exudes a rich tea aroma and milk fragrance, and the taste is mellow, moistening everyone's heart. Everyone tasted milk tea and felt the warmth and tranquility of the grassland.
In addition, there are delicacies such as lamb jerky and mutton steamed buns, and each dish will make everyone linger. Everyone talked while tasting, and laughter and conversation were intertwined, creating a warm atmosphere.
After the meal, the village chief Ajima looked at everyone's satisfied look and said.
"I hope you can enjoy the food of our prairie, and I hope that your life and work here can go smoothly, you want to rest, and I will take you around in the afternoon."
After resting for a few hours, they followed the village chief to visit the school in the afternoon. There is only one primary school in this grassland, which is also made up of several yurts, and there are not many students, and all the students together are less than 100 students, and it is still a mixed-age class.
Children aged six to eight are in one class, children aged nine to eleven are in one class, and children aged 12 are in a separate class.
After the principal took a few people on a tour, he took them to the office to get to know each other and then make detailed work arrangements.
"Hello everyone, my name is Angel, I am very happy to come to our school as teachers, we are more lacking in English teachers, although the junior high school does not need to take the English test, but because the primary school has no English foundation, they go to the county after the junior high school, it will be even more not. I haven't been able to recruit English teachers over the years, so I want three English teachers. The remaining two students are Chinese teachers and math teachers respectively. ”
"Then I'll introduce myself first."
Zhou Tingting looked at a few people, she was the captain, so she took the lead in getting up and introducing herself.
"Hello Principal Angel, my name is Zhou Tingting, I am good at Chinese, and I also took psychology independently, because I am also a native of the grassland, and I went to live in the city with my parents when I was very young. When I was in school, I came into contact with a lot of grassland children, and some of them entered junior high school, because there was a big gap with the children outside, and sometimes there would be some psychological deviations, so I personally felt that it was necessary to add a psychology class, which was a plan I prepared before I came, and you can take a look at it when you are free. ”
Zhou Tingting handed Angel a folder, and then sat back down.
With Zhou Tingting's beginning, everyone introduced themselves one after another, Ye Yu didn't think so much at the beginning, looking at the pre-written lesson plans handed over one after another, she was a little panicked.
In the end, Ye Yu was responsible for teaching the children spoken English, plus she also knew martial arts, so she decided to add another martial arts class to the children.
In the following days, the five of them quickly integrated into the prairie, and everyone used the clothes they brought to change with the women on the prairie, and they also learned how to dress up. While teaching the children, they are also learning their language and traditional culture, as well as learning their dances and songs.
