File 5 Lesson Plans (Part I)

Meet Mr. E, our new teacher at the kindergarten. Being the only male teacher, this twenty-year-old young man had become the center of attention among the staff.

"Ne, are you sure you can handle the job? Do you have siblings?"

"Well…no, but I love kids and this is my dream job so…."

"But I heard you have a science degree. Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"MY DEAR COLLEAGUES!" entered the principal (Principal: You missed out the "generous, kind, benevolent lady with in… Author (being chased after): continue…)

"Leave the dear boy alone. He is here to take care of the kids, not answer your nosey questions. I bet your next question would be Do you have a girlfriend or something like that."

"Then E-kun, do you have one?"

"I…I better get to work."

Despite his gender, Mr. E was a very passionate teacher and this first job was more important to him than anything. Before the first day of work, he had consulted many colleagues on what to teach kids of three years old. And after working days and nights for three days, he came up with some lesson plans.

Lesson Plan 1 – Finding the Similarity

"Listen K-kun, you can ask the kids how several things are similar. For example, show them the pictures of a cat, a dog and a horse, and they will answer you that they are animals, have four legs and so on."

"Okay I got it. Thanks."

And so in our princes' classroom ---

"Now everyone," Mr. E took out several items from a lunch box, "I have with me a donut, a bagel and an onion ring. How are they similar?"

"Food!"

"Yummy!"

"Circles! With holes!" cried Eiji.

"Eiji, what you say is right but I think Sensei is asking about what kind of things they are," said Oishi.

"Good thinking Eiji-kun," said Mr.E, " Even Sensei did not think about…"

"Cholesterol," said Inui.

"Pardon?"

"They all have cholesterol, and fats, and high Carole level, according to my calculation."

"..We-l-l….brilliant." "I can't be beaten by a mere child can I?" thought Mr .E.

"Okay class second question," Mr. E used the picture cards given by his colleague, "How are the dog, cat and horse similar?"

Most of the class were answering as he expected, until ---

...

"Vertebrates, or mammals to be exact," said Inui.

"Um…Absolutely correct, Inui- kun."

"Babies!" said Eiji.

"And why do you think so?"

"Because," Eiji gave a big smile and said," they are the smallest puppy, kitty and horsie I have ever seen. Nee-san said small animals are babies."

Mr. E had to think how to answer this question for the rest of the lesson.

That evening after school-----

"Hey Albert! How's first day of work?"

Hearing his first name, Mr. E turned back to look at his ex-schoolmate. "To be frank, Thomas…

I have never thought kindergarteners are so smart.

Hope you enjoy reading. Reviews are GREATLY appreciated.

The "Baby" idea is from my own experience, after I called a tiny jellyfish a baby and being corrected by my cousin.

By the way, anyone can guess why I name Mr. E Albert? ^^
