THE BATTLE BEGIN

My accomplishment:

Last week I was able to experience to monitor the grade 2 pupils of Lucban Elementary School. I observed my cooperative to get an idea how to manage the class and how to teach the pupils. Checked their quiz papers, seatwork and teach the pupils an action songs to boost their attention or interest. I was able to facilitate them while having their quiz and give some activities in terms of reading.

I was able to come at the school before the call time.

My significant experiences:

When the right hand of the principal introduces me to my cooperative teacher, I feel happy at same time I feel nervous but when we know each other, I feel comfortable with her. She is accommodating and feels free to entertain any questions about the lesson plan and suggest things on how can I execute a lesson. She discuss to me about the next lesson that I must execute, show to me the curriculum guide and the books needed in teaching.

The Sincerity grade 2 pupils are mixed of fast learner and slow learner.  Some pupils can read fast and some also need a supervision to help them read. I encourage them to listen to the teacher explanation so that they will know how to answer properly the questions. I go around inside the classroom to monitor their answer and assist them if needed.

The teacher has a concern about his/her pupils by asking the parent the reason of their children why they were absent or late. Maintaining the parent–teacher relationship for updating them about the grade or behavior of their children inside the school campus.

One of the grade 2 pupils said, she was hungry but no food to eat. I ask her why she has no food, she answers me her mother has no money to buy food for them. From that situation I realized that I must be thankful that my parent can provide my needs. I realize that I must consume my money wisely and avoid buying those unnecessary things that are not need. I must work hard to reach my goals as a return to my parents sacrifice and their efforts for providing my needs.

As a conclusion, in the public school where we can find the teacher who is compassionate to teach the pupils despite of low salary. Teacher who is willing to serve the society and help those pupils that cannot afford to study in private schools, giving them an opportunity to finish their education.

My insights:

My intuition about the teacher attitude and knowledge, teacher create atmosphere that is unthreatening to motivate those pupils to participate in the discussion. There must be interaction between the teacher and pupils to create a meaningful learning and come out with the output. The teacher builds the potential of those pupils for the better society outcome.

The teacher knows the background knowledge of the pupils to relate the topic to their real life situation. The teacher adopts the 21th century skills to improve her strategies or techniques in teaching. Teacher adjusts to the level of his/her pupils. Ask question that promote their comprehension and higher thinking order.

My opinion about the techniques of the teacher, the teacher should not just stick on the traditional way of teaching but also adopt the new strategies such as use of the instructional materials or multimedia to sustain the interest of the pupils.

My perception about classroom: classroom is conducive for learning, clean, proper arrangement of chairs and appropriate decoration. The illustration materials must be used in teaching is suited for those pupils and can accommodate all the pupils’ needs. (Inclusive)

 I conclude that I must adopt positive ideas, strategies or techniques that enhance my knowledge, skills or talent to create a significant learning. “Good teacher share his/her new strategies, ideas or talent to others.”

Problems:

Hard in doing Ilocano lesson plan

Difficult in managing the class in terms of noisy

Difficult in maintain the interest of those pupils

The pupils are not answering back the questions or raising question that is related to the topic.

Solution:

Ask some help of my friends who were expert of Ilocano dialog. To counter check my lesson plans.

Do some positive reinforcement such as add some puts to those quite pupils.

Do some activities that catch the attention of the pupils or motivate them by singing, role playing, and games or doing some puzzles.

Revise the way how I ask question and encourage them to ask question through let them formulate a question about the lesson before discussing it.

Goals for next week:

To proud and confident talk in front of the pupils and my cooperative teacher

To have a successful demo teaching.

To execute the lesson and appreciated by the pupils through their participation

To submit a lesson plan.

To come at the school before the call time.
