Education is more interested with the betterment of living in a democratic atmosphere

with the idea that life will be more secure and fuller through the support of the community. To achieve

this goal, it is important that every member of the school staff effort to bring about harmonious

relationship among themselves and between the school and the public, which is served. There is a need

of functioning public relation program because the school will not achieve its goal, unless it gets the full

support of its administration, teachers, pupils, parents and the whole community, in general.

As a teacher, he/she is the most important single factor in shaping public confidence in

the school. It will be the teacher’s advantage to become familiar with the various aspects of public

relation and the opportunities available for him to interpret the school and the community. Teachers

must understood others, in their behavior and must respect its own idea and encourage their skills and

abilities.

There are number of reasons why youngster chooses teaching as a career.

Perhaps, it was a childhood dream as he went along in his educational program. He

came across an ideal teacher who made him realize that the teaching profession is indeed a noble

profession. He may naturally be fond of children and enjoys their company. He may felt a great sense of

fulfillment in his casual talk with them; he saw the glow on their eyes while he explained to them the

wonders of nature.

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all the people behind me to give their warmest

support, without them I have nothing. First and foremost to the Almighty God the Father, for making all

of these possible in spite of all the hardships and sacrifices I had encountered in the past four years

course. Since I was educated, He did not let go of me, especially when my world seems to stumble, full

of pains and tears and felt alone. I am so thankful to Him for the strength, wisdom, courage, guidance

and blessings that He showered upon me and to my family. Without Him, I am nothing.

Since I was born, they are the one who nurtured me with unconditional love. From this time on,

I am offering them all that I am now. All of my hardships and perseverance are all because of them. To

my mama, papa and my brothers, who always supports me not only financially but also morally who

never gets tired of giving their best in helping me to all that I need. Every step of my success is all for

you. To my family, thanks a lot.

I dearly thank with gratitude our entire teachers, instructors and professors for handling us with

all their strength, understanding, support and courage. You are our second parents who molded us and

explaining in details how beautiful life is and how we create our becoming to be a teacher.

I would also give thanks the principal and teachers in our cooperating school during our

internship for accepting us and treating us well. To my cooperating teachers who shared a lot of things

and learning about life especially of becoming a teacher. Thanks for all the support you gave me during

our final demonstration.

And last but not the least, I would also extend my deepest, sincerest and warmest thanks to my

relatives, friends and classmates. Through good and bad times we are together helping each others

needs.

.

Help me to remember the greatness of the workWhich has been given to me to do, that I work with the most precious material in the world, the mind of youth.

Help me always to remember that I am making marksupon that mind which time will never rub out.

Help me to be a fine teacher,to keep peace in the classroom,

peace between my students and myself,to be kind and gentle

to each and every one of my students.Give me patience with those who are slow to learn

and even with those who refuse to learn. When I have to exercise discipline,

help me to do so in sternness and yet in love.Help me not to judge my students too harshly,

to be fair to all,to be a good role model,

but most of all Lord help meto show your love to all of my students.

Help me to help my students, not only to store things in their memories,

but to be able to use their minds, and to think for themselvesand amidst all the worries and the frustrations of my job,

help me to remember that the future of the nationand of the world is in my hands.

Amen.

I’m a teacher, a purveyor of truth and lightI’m a teacher, I was born to improve mankind

It’s my duty to enlighten the worldAnd guide the young to the path of the Lord.

I’m a teacher, I must teach what is good and right I’m a teacher, I must live what I preach in life

As a model citizen of the worldI must in thoughts, words and deeds be so good.

In the children, I write the futureIn their learning, I find great joy

I may never sit on a throneBut I’m contented, my life is full

Yes, I’m a teacherI must brave all the roaring waves

In the fury of the rivers and windy seasI must climb on up the mountains and hills

Where children there wait for my love and care

In a mountain or in a cityOn an island where I may be

I shall keep on bringing the lightAnd live as teacher until I die.

I’ll live as teacher until I die.

In today’s society a good, well rounded education is what every child needs to succeed. The

classroom environment, the curriculum, and the way the classroom is managed are all important factors

that contribute to the quality of education that a child receives.

I truly believe that a teacher is the most important role a child comes across. The impact that a

teacher makes will last a life time.

Education is diverse. Due to the various natures of knowledge and students, it is difficult to place

my educational philosophy in one category. Each student is unique; curriculums vary depending on

many factors. I feel that many educational philosophies are beneficial to education.

The nature of students reflects many things including heredity, home life, and society as a

whole. When teaching, one must always consider the aspects that may affect the students’ nature along

with the nature of knowledge.

Knowledge is both relative and absolute. Literature is an example of relative knowledge.

Interpretation of books or poetry depends on the person reading the material, the place where the

literature is read, and the time period in which the person is living. Science and mathematics are

absolute. One plus one equals two regardless of the time, place, or person. Acquiring knowledge,

whether absolute or relative, is the purpose of education.

Public education is important to improving society and the future. Like Plato, I feel education

gives people the ability to think critically instead of being blindly led by others. As a future teacher, I am

idealistic in that I hope to encourage students to challenge themselves, I also hope to encourage

students to continue learning throughout life, and prepare for college. To accomplish these goals, I will

incorporate pragmatic methods like hands on activities through laboratory experiments and problem

solving into my teaching. This also falls under experimentalism. The Socratic method of small group

discussions, lecturing, and questioning will be used to help students acquire knowledge. Using many

methods will help all students to understand the material presented. Discipline will play an important

role in reaching my goals for the students. I plan to use pragmatic methods also in establishing rules.

Students will decide the rules and punishments in a democratic method. I feel this will encourage

obedience of rules. Public education should remain a top priority for everyone and continuous support

of science is essential.

The responsibilities that educators have in the education field is to teach our students the basic

training skills needed to be successful in the future.

For myself, teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my

hopes as an educator is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning

with them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited

about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a

solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am

such a person and will always strive to be the best educator that I can be.

doctorate degree. I feel furthering my education will only improve my teaching abilities.

After 2 years, I want to teach in a government public school. As a teacher, my largest goal is to

be a good teacher. I want to treat each child equally. I never want to forget what it was like to be in the

shoes of my students, and use my experiences in a way that helps me teach. I want to see the spark of

understanding in my student’s eyes as learning takes place. My goal is to know what I am teaching so

well that it comes naturally to me and I can convey the information to the children in a way they can

understand. I want to be creative and innovative.

I will be a good teacher as well as a good daughter and sister of my family. I will give them a

better living especially to my parents to pay back on how they nurtured me. I will make sure that before

I get married, they were satisfied of what I am giving them. I will give my very best to make my mama,

papa and my brothers happy. If given a chance, I will also work abroad for an experience. I will tour my

family in other places of the world.

After 8 years, I will be with the man whom I loved and responsible enough to support the needs

of our own family. We will have our own family business. I will give my child the right nurturing and let

them grow with values just like on how I was trained by my mother. I will work hard for them to give my

best in supporting their needs. And when they will have their success in life, it will already complete my

life living in this world.

Reflective Journal 1

Planning and Implementation of Learning Programs

Learning outcomes are statements that specify what learners will know or be able to do as

a result of a learning activity. Outcomes are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes.

Learning outcomes should flow from a needs assessment. The needs assessment should

determine the gap between an existing condition and a desired condition. I may know that the

learning outcomes achieved through the students responses in different assessments that I

implement. Learning outcomes should be related to the level of the learning, indicate the

intended gain in knowledge and skills that a typical student will achieve and should be capable of

being assessed.

Student motivation is a major problem in classrooms. Many children are bored,

inattentive, and unable to see much connection between schoolwork and their lives outside

classrooms. Their boredom diminishes attention, lowers achievement, and is a likely reason for

dropping out of school. A teacher needs to be creative and innovative to have the student’s

interest in the class. In my teaching, I really use different learning activities and I do make sure

that these activities are relevant to the lesson or topic. I do consider that learning activities should

be incorporated into every lesson plan at every level of schooling. Consider also that these

activities can arouse and maintain student’s interest in which they will enjoy at the same time

they are also learning. Creative teaching strategies can help all children succeed, even those who

may not have succeeded otherwise.

Yes, my lesson plans contain all essential elements. Essential components of a strong,

effective lesson plan and will be on my way in achieving every my goal which is measurable

student learning.

1. Objectives and Goals- The lesson's objectives must be clearly defined and in lined with

district and/or state educational standards.

2. Review, drill and motivation- Before you dig into the meat of your lesson's instruction, set

the stage for your students by tapping into their prior knowledge and giving the objectives a

context.

3. Direct Instruction- When writing your lesson plan, this is the section where you explicitly

delineate how you will present the lesson's concepts to your students.

4. Guided Practice- Under your supervision, the students are given a chance to practice and

apply the skills you taught them through direct instruction.

5. Closure- In the Closure section, outline how you will wrap up the lesson by giving the lesson

concepts further meaning for your students.

6. Independent Practice- Through homework assignments or other independent assignments,

your students will demonstrate whether or not they absorbed the lesson's learning goals.

7. Required Materials and Equipment- Here, you determine what supplies are required to help

your students achieve the stated lesson objectives.

8. Assessment and Follow-Up- The lesson doesn't end after your students complete a

worksheet. The assessment section is one of the most important parts of all.

Teachers need to understand a subject enough to convey its essence to students. While

traditionally this has involved lecturing on the part of the teacher, new instructional strategies

such as team-based learning put the teacher more into the role of course designer, discussion

facilitator, and coach and the student more into the role of active learner, discovering the subject

of the course. In any case, the goal is to establish a sound knowledge base and skill set on which

students will be able to build as they are exposed to different life experiences. Good teachers can

translate information, good judgment, experience and wisdom into relevant knowledge that a

student can understand, retain and pass to others.

Using Instructional Materials

All through the period of my in internship at San Roque I really prepare instructional

materials for the lesson I will deliver. I usually use words in a strip, visual aids, drawings,

pictures, illustrations and real objects. I can say that I have use effectively because it supports the

pupils understand the lesson easily.

There is really a need to us instructional materials because it helps the pupil have a clear

view and supports the pupil in understanding what the lesson is. These are helpful materials in

which the children may not only keep on listening to their teacher but they can also have visual

materials that will let them easily understand what is being taught.

I always do make sure that my instructional materials can arouse and sustain the interest

of the learners. I also make sure that it is clear, visible and clean. Sometimes i use colored

cartolinas so that pupils will not get bored of always having visual aid written in a manila paper.

The importance of instructional materials in teaching are getting the attention of the

students, the class is more realistic, and it gives a view point on the topic and it helps teacher to

teach well as to make her lesson clear and understandable to the students. Instructional materials

guide us how to learn well, and it make the students more clearly and interesting.

Instructional Materials (IM) are considered to be forms of communication and must

therefore be delivered in a manner that is equally effective for persons with disabilities.

Communication is considered to be equally effective when it is:

• comparable in quality to those received by students without disabilities

• comparable in timeliness of delivery and availability

• provided in a manner and medium appropriate to the significance of the message and the

abilities of the person receiving the material.

Actual Teaching

In making my test items, I did make sure that the questions are all about the topics that

have been discussed to the class. I made sure that the test items were understandable and suited

to the level of my learners. I used simple words that can be easily understood by the learners’

level of understanding.

Some of the problems I have encountered during test preparation is on how to produce it

to all the students I am teaching since I am not yet earning money. I am also having doubts about

my test questions are challenging to those fast learner and if it is too hard to those slow learner.

In catering the needs of my learners, I really encourage them their lessons ahead of my

time. And before I am giving the test, I let them study the lessons even in a small time. And of

course I made the instructions readable and can easily be understood.

Test Preparation

The measures I took to make my test items clear is that I used words that can be easily

understood by the learners and I’m using the simple and right terms which of course relates to

the subject matter. And if the learners doesn’t have any doubts and questions about the test given

to them, then probably I can assure that my test items were clear and simple. But before I have

given the test to my learners, I let my cooperating teachers check the test I prepared so that they

will be able to give corrections. I did make sure that my test questions are focus on the level of

my learners.

The problems I have encountered during test preparation is that I’m quiet hesitant and

conscious about the words or grammars I used if it is suited to the understanding of my learners.

Another is that I also had the difficulty in making destructors in each item and how am I going to

deliver the test in oral or written way. Also if each item is appropriate for the level of

comprehension of the pupils.

Checking, Marking and Interpretation of Test Results

The types of information that can be obtain about pupil’s progress by marking the test is

most importantly to know the student’s level of learning process and how they get intellectually

the way the teacher teach the learners.

In the case that if a lot of learners who did poorly in one subject area, basically I’m going

to recall my past lesson plans and the students’ performances during the discussion and how the

items implemented and how it was done. I will also do reviews every time I start and end my

lesson. And of course, this situation will help me improve and develop my future teaching.

Assessment for learning should be part of effective planning of teaching and learning. A

teacher's planning should provide opportunities for both learner and teacher to obtain and use

information about progress towards learning goals. It also has to be flexible to respond to initial

and emerging ideas and skills. Planning should include strategies to ensure that learners

understand the goals they are pursuing and the criteria that will be applied in assessing their

work. How learners will receive feedback, how they will take part in assessing their learning and

how they will be helped to make further progress should also be planned.

The process of learning has to be in the minds of both learner and teacher when

assessment is planned and when the evidence is interpreted. Learners should become as aware of

the 'how' of their learning as they are of the 'what'.

Self Evaluation

Practice teaching is considered as a climax of professional preparation of teachers. It is

the culminating internship that engages the pre-service teachers in an extensive practicum for the

actualization of the teaching-learning process equipped with the ethical standards and

professional competencies. This serves as also as an avenue for further developing student

teacher’s effective human relations and communication with the two significant factors in the

field of teaching.

In my internship, as the time pass by, I have encountered lots of challenges in teaching

especially with the attitudes of the learners. I can observe that at first they were very obedient

and quiet but then by and by they are becoming noisy and just putting me under. And I found the

problem is that I am too friendly and too kind with them that’s why sometimes they can

underestimate me.

In handling students behavioural problems, we teachers should be flexible enough in

understanding the differences and attitudes of each student. We should also be aware about the

different factors affecting the students’ personality. As a teacher, you should also show sympathy

and listen about the things they will tell on you.

Another is that i also had problem about dealing the students’ abilities. I really have

adjustments in handling them in terms of my teaching strategies that I will apply. Another is that

how will I be able to cater the needs of my students.

Moreover, I am very thankful that i have a good relationship with my cooperating

teachers in which they always keep on giving me reminders, suggestions and lesson about

teaching. It is very a big help that my mentors give me advices and with that I can learn with

them. Asking and accepting comments from the learners will also help me improve and become

a good teacher.

Good teaching is about not always having a fixed agenda and being rigid, but being

flexible, fluid, experimenting, and having the confidence to react and adjust to changing

circumstances. It's about getting only 10 percent of what you wanted to do in a class do and still

feeling good. It's about deviating from the course syllabus or lecture schedule easily when there

is more and better learning elsewhere. Good teaching is about the creative balance between being

an authoritarian dictator on the one hand and a pushover on the other.

November 26, 2009 (Thursday)

EXCITED!!!!!...Today was our deployment day in our assigned school and I was assigned to have my internship at San Roque Central Elementary School which is my alma mater. With us is a letter of confirmation for the deployment which contains the list of names of the BEEd practice teachers assigned in their school.

Right after we are gathered, we went inside the principal’s office of SRCES to meet Mrs. Belma D. Ebardo, the school principal. She introduced herself first before giving us an orientation and overview about our internship in their school. We were oriented about the rules and regulations of the school and everything important we need to know. After being oriented, she then assigned us to our respective cooperating teachers.

I was assigned to Mrs. Luz M. Macatangay, a grade 5 teacher. I’m so glad that I was assigned to my former science teacher when I was in grade 5 also in San Roque. She only teaches science subject in 6 sections of grade 5. We then talked and she gave me inspirational thoughts about teaching. But the first thing that she asked me is that why did I choose being a teacher? , and I answered her that I was inspired by my teachers like her. Though I keep on hearing that nobody became rich in teaching profession, but still for me it doesn’t matter how much a teacher earns because I prefer with the quality not the quantity.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”

November 27, 2009 (Friday)

FIRST DAY!!!!!...

Today I came to school early because this was our first day of staying with our assigned class. I attended the flag ceremony with the pupils of Grade V- Laurel, the advisory class of my cooperating teacher. After the flag ceremony, we then went inside our respective classroom and go on with the class.

Before Mrs. Macatangay started her lesson, she introduced me to the class and told them that I was one of her former Grade V student in section I. I saw gladness in the faces of the pupils because they were proud also that I was once like them studying in San Roque.

For this day, Mrs. Macatangay let me go with her as she was having her class with different sections. She told me to familiarize the pupils and observe their attitudes and manner. My CT is teaching science in 6 sections in grade 5 and each session is 1 hour. This tells me that I will also be teaching 5 sections in the morning and 1 section in the afternoon in Grade 5.

In my observation, I found different personalities which tell that “No two men ever had the same personality because each of us has its own uniqueness”.

November 30, 2009 (Monday)

We don’t have a class today because it is a national holiday in celebration of Bonifacio Day. I took a rest at home and prepared materials that I may need in teaching.

December 1, 2009 (Tuesday)

I was already in school before 6:44 in the morning and when I came in the classroom, my CT was already there. I attempted to sweep the floor but then Mrs.Macatangay didn’t allow me. She told me that my students were already in grade 5 and not in grade 1, so better let them do the things that they can do.

Today I have learned that if you were assigned in higher grades (grade 4-6), you should not treat your pupils like a baby or a kid. Remember that these children have already the ability to do things with their own. Don’t show them as if you were serving them as what a servant does. Let them learn to do things with their own effort like cleaning and classroom management. They may not only do this inside the classroom but also they can apply it with the outside world especially in their own home.

I thought I will still have the observation but then my CT let me teach on the spot. I was not prepared and she let me teach in 2 sections. At first I was shocked and felt nervousness. I did not study about the topic to be discuss, however, I was able to deliver it through my prior knowledge. But then, later on, I was able to overcome it in delivering the lesson with the use of my awareness and prior knowledge.

“In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake, but by what you finally accomplish”

My CT gave me a topic to prepare because I will be the one to have the class discussion tomorrow.

December 2, 2009 (Wednesday)

I punched in my bandy card at exactly 6:28 in the morning. And when I came in the classroom, my CT told me to occupy the table beside her. She was writing her lesson plan then and later on, she let me write some visual aids about the topic she will be going to discuss. I really love writing so I gladly did her favor and then she told me that she likes my handwriting. I was flattered especially when she said that I will really be a teacher. And it struck ed me most when she said those words that I was right with

my decision of becoming a teacher. I was really encouraged to do well about this profession. I told myself, “I love teaching! I will be a teacher!”

This day, Mrs. Macatangay only let me stay inside the classroom of her advisory because she will only conduct an activity in her class. So I just stayed inside the classroom and I had the chance to start knowing each of my students in my advisory class. I got along with them and I let each of them introduce their self to familiarize their faces as well as their names.

At first, they were kind of hesitant to get along with me, but later on, we felt comfortable with each other.

I have learned that you should really get along with your learners to be able to know some of their backgrounds and get their relationship with you.

“Ability is nothing without opportunity”

Wheew! I thought I will come late in school because I felt butterflies in my stomach. Better that I was able to overcome with it and I came in to school at 6:28 in the morning.

I presented my lesson plan to Mrs. Macatangay before I started my teaching. I also did prepare instructional materials that will be used to support me about the lesson. She checked my lesson plan and I was confident that I only have few corrections. My lesson plan serves as a guide and to make my teaching with direction. I only followed the flow of my lesson based from my lesson plan. My instructional materials were also well-prepared and I also included learning activities.

My CT let me teach consecutively in 6 classes that she handles. I’m running out of saliva until with the 5th section in the morning session. She stayed at the back while I was teaching to observe on how I deliver the lesson and to give comments or suggestions about on how I presented the lesson that I presented.

Before I started my first actual teaching I prayed to the Lord to guide give me courage and strength to have patience and self-confidence during the class.

My CT left alone in the afternoon because she has an important matter to do outside the campus. And so I had also my teaching with the afternoon class. Before she left me, I asked her of what will be my topic for tomorrow.

Today I have learned that it is really very important to have a lesson plan first before implementing and presenting the lesson to the class. As well as instructional materials to be used should also be well prepared and presentable this should of course be related with the topic most especially with the activities that you will prepare.

December 4, 2009 (Friday)

“Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom.”

Before I left home, I made sure that I have prepared all the things I needed for today’s discussion. I also checked my lesson plan and my instructional materials.

I arrived in school at 6:27 in the morning. I am now walking with confidence and preparedness because I have all the armors for teaching.

I can now also present the lesson with a good communication with the pupils because we are starting getting to know each other with my pupils in different sections. I was relaxed in presenting and with the discussion to the class. We felt comfortable between the learners and me.

Though there are times that the pupils are starting to be noisy, but as a teacher I need to discipline them and they also obeyed.

Teachers Day!!!!!

In respect with the celebration for our teachers, I bought a present for my cooperating teacher Mrs. Macatangay. And of course, we also have our gift for our dear cooperating principal Mrs. Ebardo. There was a mass held before having the teacher’s day program.

Right after the program, we gave our own presents to our respective cooperating teachers. As well as with the other teachers of SRCES, we greeted them with a smile. I was shocked when there are some students who gave me something and greeted me happy teachers day. I never thought that students will treat me as a teacher already. And then I came to realize that children were very thoughtful especially to teachers.

The day ends with happiness and joyfulness in my heart.


While teaching, I’m also learning…

It’s a regular class again. I came so early today because I am practicing myself to come early in school every day. The topic of my CT was all about “Lever”, one of the simple machines. She was the one who did the teaching in all 5 sections.

While she was teaching, I was also sitting at the back and listens to the discussion. I took down notes about the lesson because I was interested to learn again about it. Later on, Mrs. Macatangay talked with me. She observed that I was also like the pupils who listens and taking down notes about her discussion. The she asked me if I have still remembered that we had also discussed it when I was once her student in grade 5. The truth is that I have remembered the days when we had the discussion about the topics and lessons like this one. I can remember that we made projects, outputs and activities about it.

In our conversation, I can’t forget her lines that, “You know what Xan, in teaching you are not only imparting and discuss the lessons found in the book but at the same time you are also learning. You also need to teach that comes from the heart. In teaching, you will not just rely on the book but you can mix up the conversation with things out from the topic but not too much. You can also add about your experiences which relates to the topic.”

And so today, I have learned that, “To teach is to learn twice.”


Early in the morning, I received a message from my cooperating teacher and said that she will be absent today because she had a fever. So I hurried up, pack my things and went to San Roque to manage the class advisory of my CT. I came in at 6:22 a.m and I immediately went to our classroom. I let the pupils join the flag ceremony and let the cleaners stay inside the classroom to clean.

The lesson I have discussed this day was still all about levers. We have tackled about the parts and classes of levers. I brought real objects of levers to be used in presenting the lesson. My activity was all about choosing any of the objects I brought the pupil will identify each part of the lever and classifying it. Students were very interested about our activity. They were very active and participative during our discussion.

I’m so happy that I have used an effective learning activity today in which I saw that my pupils were able to understand the lesson clearly.


I was still the class adviser today for the mean time since my CT was not around again. Same as what I have observed of what Mrs. Macatangay does for her students, I let them clean the classroom and told them to maintain the cleanliness of their classroom to a have a place conducive for learning.

In teaching I always wear a smile so that pupils will not be bored in listening and looking at me. I do make sure that sometime I can make them laugh with my little jokes. but of course, I always make sure that they can really understand what am I teaching and what was our discussion all about.

“Men are more mindful of wrongs than of benefits.” I was always conscious about my grammars in speaking because if feels so bashful if pupils will correct me especially about my grammar. I talk not too fast, not too slow. I always talk in a gentle and kind way.


“Kind words are the music of the world.”

Eventhough I had a doubt about why my CT was absent again, still I enjoyed having a class with the pupils. I was persuaded to have the lesson and discussion because I came to realized that I now loved Science subject in which I am learning again while I was preparing and studied the topic. I can also learn from the pupils by their own different ideas.

Though there are some pupils who are really stubborn and hard-headed, still I controlled myself not to show temper and stayed calm in telling them to keep quite. They respected me and they cooperate during our discussion. I have prepared and gave students learning activities and I found out that they were very interested in having an activity because they only perform an activity often. That’s why they were very excited and alert in doing the activity.

You can teach a student a lesson for a day, but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.

December 14, 2009 (Monday)

Finally my cooperating teacher was here! She had a lot of sharing of experiences of what she and her daughter did with their out of town activity. This was the time that she told me the truth of where she has been and why she was absent for 2 days and a half. She told me that they went to Manila with the reason that she promised her daughter to have a trip after graduation. She shared a lot of exciting experiences and discoveries during their trip. I never knew that she was absent because of it, I thought she had a very important matter to. But then, I had no regrets that she left me all alone with my teaching because the experience that I have was very big help in making me learn and realize what is teaching all about.

Teaching is not merely teaching. You have a lot of things to do with your learners aside from teaching. With the experience also, I had many realizations and conclusions of being a teacher. We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit. I always get worried everytime I cannot measure that the students understood our lesson. I always want to make sure that each of them understand and of course learn of what was our lesson all about.

I never thought that last fridaty was already my last chance to teach in Grade 5.


This day was a break for me because Mrs. Macatangay was the one who hjad all the teaching in all classes. I was just assisting her in bringing the materials for her discussion. T he topic for today was all about the screw, the last kind of simple machine. After the discussion of each class, she let the pupils take the chapter test which was all about simple machines, my lesson when she was not around.

I was so nervous and worried for what will be the outcome and result of the pupils’ scores in the chapter test.

Luckily, only few got low scores and many got high. But still I was not contented with it because I wanted that all of them will get high score.


Early in the morning we practiced our dance number to be presented in the School Christmas program.. We really made sure that our presentation will be presented well so we really prepared for it.

The program starts at around 8:30 with a doxology presented by the selected pupils of San Roque. The presentations were arranged by Grade level. We got excited when it was already us who will present in the stage. It is quiet overwhelming and flattering because students were cheering and yelling with us. They seem to be happy seeing their student teachers on the stage. My former teachers were also smiling at me in which I saw gladness in their faces and remembering the days when I was once their student dancing on the stage in every event in the school. I’m so happy for they can still remember who I am.


Classroom Christmas Party!!!!

I was the assigned to organize the program for the Grade V-Laurel Christmas party. I came early before the students will arrive because I was preparing for the materials for the games and classroom arrangement. Mrs. Macatangay was the one arranged and preparation of the food. We had a lot of games that I planned and I made sure that all of them will enjoy. Though we don’t have really a lot of foods but still we are happy because each of us enjoyed the party. I was also very happy because I received Christmas gifts from my pupils. Those little things means a lot to me. I will value all of those gifts I received. My cooperating teacher, Mrs. Macatangay, also gave me a gift in which I was so shy to receive it but I accepted it. I love what she gave to me. Its’s a t-shirt she bought from Tagaytay just for me.

I was so tired that morning. Right after the party, I helped in cleaning the room and wave goodbye to my CT because in the afternoon was our schedule for the pictorial for our yearbook.


San Roque’s Teachers Party!

We don’t have a class because the teachers of San Roque Central Elementary School are having their teacher’s party. I took a rest at home and took a relaxation for all the stress I have during classes.

Christmas vacation starts and classes will resume on January 4, 2010.

January 4, 2010 (Monday)

Happy New Year class!!!! Welcome 2010!!!

We started our new year’s first day class by having a general cleaning in our classroom. It was very dusty and dirty.

With the pupils and my CT, we cleaned up the classroom. We swept and scrubbed the floor, watered the plants and took away the Christmas decorations.

Though some of the teachers did not have their class in our section, still my cooperating teachers roamed around and still have the class. all she did was to let the students compute their scores of their quizzes, assignments and chapter test all about simple machines.

My cooperating teacher gave me a topic to be discuss tomorrow which is all about “Rocks”.

January 5, 2010 (Tuesday)

I was the one tasked to discuss the introduction of the lesson about rocks. Before I introduced the new lesson, I conducted an activity as a review from their past lesson. I wanted to know if they have still remembered what we talked about last year. Then, it’s a good result because I can say that they have understood what am I teaching.

I let the pupils do the activities I have prepared for them. The first one was a group activity and the other one is an individual activity. I did make sure that the students will get busy to minimize the noise in the class and to minimize also the stress to myself.

January 6, 2010 (Wednesday)

Today, I have realized that I should always be ready with everything especially in studying about the next lesson of the class. As what already happened, my cooperating teacher texted me before I went to school that she will be absent because she has to attend an important matter.

I was not really prepared for the nest lesson because I thought that she will be the one to teach today. What I did is that I easily went to school very early and used my time in reading and studying about the topic for today. I directly made a lesson plan right after I have read the topic so that I can use it as my guide and to have direction of my teaching.

I was thankful at the end of the day because I know that God has guided me throughout the day in which I was able to handle the classes. Thanks God!

January 7, 2010 (Thursday)

This was my last day spending time and classes with my Grade 5 pupils. Mrs. Macatangay let me stay in our classroom because it was very hot outside. She said that I should take a rest and relax because I’m the one who do the teaching last week. So I just stayed in the classroom and to keep me busy, I transferred my lesson plan in a lesson plan notebook.

I felt sadness when I thought of waving goodbye to my pupils in grade 5. I was touched when some of them were saying that they don’t want me to be replaced. I was deeply touched by love and care to me. Some were very thoughtful that they keep on embracing me and hugging me. Actually I was about to cry but then I controlled myself on not to cry.

I told the students to keep up the good work and to keep on studying hard. I told them that someday you will also be like me, preparing for a new chapter of life. I encouraged my pupils to pursue their studies and to keep reaching their goals.

They told me that they will never forget me and the memories that we shared will remain forever.

“Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures.”

Happy birthday Ma’am Bea!!!

The school had a mass early in the morning for the celebration of Mrs. Belma D. Ebardo’s birthday. All the teachers and students of San Roque attended the mass and the program. Teachers prepared something which surprised Ma’am Bea.

Today was also our schedule of shifting and I was assigned in grade 4. My new cooperating teacher was Mrs. Glenna M. Cadavas, a grade 4 section 1 adviser. She was also my teacher and adviser in my grade 4. I already know her attitude, the do’s and don’ts of Ma’am Glenna. She was my idol and inspiration especially when it comes to discipline. She really trains her student to be responsible and a good student, just like me. I really like her for she is not strict but she limits her relationship between the students and parents. I really can’t forget the memories I had with her and my classmates in grade 4. I said to myself that I’m lucky that I was assigned to Ma’am Cadavas.

We did not have our formal shifting because of the program but instead we used our day having our last bonding with my students in grade 5 and with my CT, Ma’am Luz. I also thank Mrs. Macatangay for accepting me and treating me well during my internship with her. I told her that I learned a lot from a short span of time with her class and I now loved SCIENCE!!!!!.. =)

“Who dares to teach must never cease to learn”


It was my first day to meet the new grade level of pupils that I will handle the grade 4. So I woke very early so that I can also be early in coming to school. As I was about to leave the house, someone called me in my phone. I was shocked when I knew it was Ma’am Glenna and she told me that she will be absent today. I got tongue tied and all I said was yes ma’am!. She gave me all the instructions of what

am I going to do today with the pupils. She told me all the activities that I will be giving to the pupils to keep them busy.

When I arrived in school at 6:10 a.m and I directly went to the Grade 4 section 1 classroom which is just beside the principal’s office. The pupils were wondering and shocked when they saw me. They kept on asking if why Ma’am Cadavas was not around . Then I told them that I am their adviser today.

I taught English subject in the first 4 sections in the morning. Then after that 4 classes, I have be with them again for their HeKaSi subject. I have 5 sessions in the morning and 2 sessions in the afternoon.

I did felt nervousness anymore when I talked and approached the grade 4 students.

At the end of the day, I learn how to be more responsible for the things accounted to me. It’s a great accomplishment that I finished the day productively.


Late in the evening yesterday, my cooperating teacher called me at home and told me that she will not be around until Friday for she has to take a rest advised by the doctor. Today was supposed to be my actual demonstration to be observed by her, but unfortunately she was not there to observe my teaching. We discussed all about verb in the simple present tense.

I presented the lesson and I did the teaching without my cooperating teacher. At first, the pupils were hesitant to approach me but then later on they had the confidence to talk with me. I also talked with them kindly and gently.


We had our second day of discussion all about verbs in simple present tense. We continued the lesson and had further explanation with it so that the pupils will really understand the topic. I prepared

activities for them in connection with our lesson. They showed interest in doing the activity which made me happy.

It is really very important to prepare a lot of learning activities which of course suits the level of your pupils and with connection with the lesson discussed.

A teacher really needs to be resourceful and flexible to cater the needs of the pupils. Good teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason. It's about not only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. It's about caring for your craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most importantly to your students.


I gave many activities to the pupils today. The first activity was done by group. The students enjoyed in making it and in presenting it.

This is very important - good teaching is about humor. It's about being self-deprecating and not taking yourself too seriously. It's often about making innocuous jokes, mostly at your own expense, so that the ice breaks and students learn in a more relaxed atmosphere where you, like them, are human with your own share of faults and shortcomings.


This was my fifth day in teaching grade 4 classes of Mrs. Cadavas. Some were starting to show off of who really they are. I slowly observed the different personality and attitudes of my pupils. Some were becoming unruly in which they really don’t want to listen to me instead they kept on playing during my time. They were just underestimating me because I was not really their teacher instead I was just a practice teacher. There were times that I seem of giving up but then I warned myself that it is not the time to give up instead it’s the time to rise and stand up. I’m always reminding myself that I can do anything in this world if I am prepared to take the consequences.


Today I only gave activities to my students about the topic yesterday since we are busy preparing for the PHIL IRRI tomorrow. The teachers’ were busy preparing for the materials to be used for tomorrow activity. And for that reason we interns were requested by our cooperating teachers to assist them.

Another thing that was talked about this day is the students’ performance about last the 3rd periodical examination the teachers’ were also busy computing the grades of the students. So what I did is follow what was instructed to me by Mrs. Gumapac.

The day is tiring for me but I learned things that will really help me to cope up the profession I chose to walk through out my life. I learned how to be cooperative and to listen not only to the favors that was asked by my cooperating teacher but also to lend ear for the advices imparted to me.


Time and time, I find it hard when it comes in having discipline with my students. There were becoming unruly but I don’t mind it. I am still optimistic in handling them in a kind attitude.

"Life at any time can become difficult: life at any time can become easy. It all depends upon how one adjusts oneself to life."


Today, we were busy preparing for the PHIL IRRI tomorrow. The teachers’ were busy preparing for the materials to be used for tomorrow’s activity. And for that reason we interns were requested by our cooperating teachers to assist them.

Another thing that was talked about this day is the students’ performance about last the 3rd periodical examination the teachers’ were also busy computing the grades of the students.

The day is tiring for me but I learned things that will really help me to cope up the profession I chose to walk through out my life. I learned how to be cooperative and to listen not only to the favors that was asked by my cooperating teacher but also to lend ear for the advices imparted to me.

"Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account."


The PHIL IRRI had started. The activities are silent reading and oral reading. Mrs. Cadavas was the one who examined the performance of the pupil through listening in the students’ way of reading if they are either fast reader or slow reader. The tasked given to me by Maám Cadavas to make the work easier and faster was she let me compute the performance and rate what she had examined from the child.

I enjoyed the task given to me. With the hands helping and working together, we were able to finish the oral activity in just one day. Some of the classes were not able to finish it with just this day, but us, we did it.

At the end of the class, as what we always do, Mrs. Cadavas shared experiences in life. She always gives me lessons in life which really struck me most.


For this day, we continued the PHIL IRRI activity which was the silent reading. Fortunately, the class had a complete attendance which also made a good factor in accomplishing the activity faster.

Out from the two days we conducted the PHIL IIRI , I learned how to understand my students’ different skills in reading especially their weakness when it comes to comprehension and retention of what they were reading.

We all then gathered the data and checked its corresponding rating with the child’s performance. The submission of teachers report about PHIL IRRI was scheduled on Monday, but Mrs. Cadavas submitted her report ahead of time to avoid cramming.

"What was really needed was a fundamental change in our attitude toward life. We had to learn ourselves and, furthermore, we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us."


I really appreciate learners who are willing to learn and explore new things. They were the one who inspired me in doing well my teaching career. Eventhough there were hard-headed students, still I am not discouraged by it instead it challenges me and teaches me on how to have a strong personality.

"If things are not going well with you, begin your effort at correcting the situation by carefully examining the service you are rendering, and especially the spirit in which you are rendering it."


The objective of today’s lesson is to let the students have more hands-on experience or a kind of approached that is practical. And for them to understand more the lesson that has been discussed last meeting.

Experience really is the best teacher ever. It is very helpful in which we will be able to share it to the class which is of course related with your lesson.


Today, I demonstrated a lesson in English about Using the Past Form of Irregular Verbs. It has been a very good day for me because the teaching of the lesson went out really fine. All sections in grade four under Mrs.Cadavas were very participative and active. Though few were unruly, still I had made my lesson very successful.


I am now very enlightened of pursuing my career as a teacher because everytime I do teaching, it seems to show that I am getting the momentum in my lessons which are a good sign that I am prepared to become teacher. It is much fulfilling if you can see your students willingness and the urge to really learn from you.


All the student teachers of the University of Southeastern Philippines had a general assembly at USeP Social Hall. The discussion was all about the updates of our internship. We also talked about on how to make the action research.

Moreover, with our internship at SRCES, we requested Mr. Rivera that we will join their activity of Boy Scouts. It will be part of our extra-curricular exposure.

February 1, 2010 (Monday)

For today’s lesson, we discussed all about the Present tense of Regular Verbs. I like it everytime Mrs. Cadavas let me teach or have the discussion. I prefer teaching than just sitting at the back of the class doing nothing. I better do the teaching which I know helped me in improving my skills especially talking in public or facing different people.

I was so happy that we had this practice teaching or internship for it let me have the exposure to in facing and communicating with children.

February 2, 2010 (Tuesday)

We continued the class discussion about Using Present Tense of Regular Verbs and I just added new different learning activities in application of our lesson.

Good teaching is about listening, questioning, being responsive, and remembering that each student and class is different. It's about eliciting responses and developing the oral communication skills of the quiet students. It's about pushing students to excel; at the same time, it's about being human, respecting others, and being professional at all times.

February 3, 2010 (Wednesday)

Today, I demonstrated a lesson in English about Using the Past Form of Irregular Verbs. It has been a very good day for me because the teaching of the lesson went out really fine. All sections in grade four under Mrs.Cadavas were very participative and active. Though few were unruly, still I had made my lesson very successful.

My cooperating teacher was very busy these days because she had a lot of tasks to do. So, I was the one who did all the teaching in all her classes. In my advisory, we used or time in letting the pupils practice for their class presentation in HEKASI.

"“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.”

February 4, 2010 (Thursday)

We, the student teachers of USeP attended the seminar about Career symposium. There were guests speakers who presented some information to us and shared or imparted us some knowledge in the world of working. It was a very good seminar because it helps us to be aware in everything in the field that we will be after graduating. There was also an open forum at the last part of the symposium in which we were given the chance to raise questions about what do we want to know. The part of the said symposium I liked was when the discussion all about job application. There were tips informed to us on what to do if you apply for any job. It was a successful one because we learned a lot from it.

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."

February 5, 2010 (Friday)

Today, there was a job fair held at USeP social hall. I was not able to attend or got to chance to apply for the jobs being offered because I was conducting my class at San Roque. I taught about Future Tense of the Verb in English. In HeKaSi, Mrs. Cadavas was the one who took charge of the class.

"Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you thing about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are."


So excited!!!!

My instructional materials especially my lesson plan were already well prepared and ready for my final demonstration. I’m so happy that my cooperating teacher was very supportive who always keep on reminding me about the things I needed for my demo.

She was the one who allowed me to have a pre-demo about my lesson, but I did not conduct it to the class where I will have my final demo. I conducted it in 2 sections. The reason why Ma’am let me have a pre-demo so that she will be able to know the flow of my lesson and on how do I deliver it.

There were comments and suggestions raised by my CT about my presentation. I heartily and willingly accepted it because I know that it was also for my goodness and benefit. It also helped me in improving to have a successful demonstration.


This is it!!!!!!!!

Before I left home, I prayed and asked God to guide me through all the day especially during the presentation of my final demo. I asked Him to bless me strength, calmness, direction and patience.

Before the day, I took a rest and relaxation and made sure that all I needed were already prepared.

I was so happy that the practicum supervisor who sits in with my demo is Mrs. Valiente. I’m so confident that she will going to fail me.

During my final demonstration, I never felt any nervousness and shaking. Usually when I am having an observe demo, I can feel butterflies in my stomach, but then with this, I never felt any. I was armored by the courage, strength and patience I asked from GOD.

Before the day, I took a rest and relaxation and made sure that all the I needed were already prepared.

At the end of the day, I was contented and fulfilled with the achievement I had this day. I thank all my students for all the support they gave to me. They showed a good performance which was one of the points I considered of having a successful final demonstration.

“Success, like happiness, is more than a destination – it is a venture; more than an achievement it is an attitude.”


It was the day after final demonstration and feels so blessed because nobody from Team San Roque required for a re-demonstration and I know that we don’t deserve it for we really did our best in delivering our demonstration.

Moving on, we prepared for the letterings of the “King and Queen of Hearts,” for the Valentines Celebration Program of San Roque Central Elementary School.

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."


Today, we just continued the preparation for the Valentines Celebration of San Roque. But we did not miss the classes which was still regular.


Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today, we celebrated the Happy Hearts Day. In the afternoon, the school held a program entitled “King and Queen of Hearts 2010.” The event was prestigious because prominent people came since they were invited as the Guests of Honor. One of those prominent people was none other than the City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte. The crowned King and Queen were given the opportunity to have a pictorial with our beloved Mayor Rody. The program was very beautiful and it ended well and peacefully.

It was a successful one.


Today I was tasked to have the discussion all about comparing adjectives. I prepared the instructional materials needed for the class discussion. I also prepared activities in connection with the topic. And I’m so happy that the students enjoyed our discussion especially during the activities they have done. They were participative today and active which encouraged me to do well with the delivery of the lesson.

You cannot tailor make the situations in life, but you can tailor make the attitudes to fit those situations before they arise.


Ma’am Cadavas instructed me to just continue the discussion about comparing adjectives. After the review and explanations, I let the pupils answer the activities found in the book.

I have realized that I am improving with my teaching. I am now using more strategies in teaching and most especially I do not anymore rush in preparing instead I always make sure that I had prepared all the things I need ahead of time.

"Persistence gives confidence and continued right mental attitude followed by consistent action will bring success. When you have that knowing inside of you, fear has vanished and the obstruction to a life

There was a mass in the morning at San Roque because it was Ash Wednesday. I was supposed to give seat works to my class. However, because of the mass, it was pre-empted. After the mass, the class was also postponed because of an Earthquake drill which was simulated by the pupils. It was in accordance with the City’s Advocacy on Calamity awareness. It was assessed by the City Emergency unit or 911. In the afternoon, the classes resumed.


I punched in my bandy card at exactly 6:29 in the morning. I hurried up and entered our classroom. I directly asked Ma’am Cadavas if I would be the one having the class today. Then she said that for the first 3 sections, I will be the one to have the discussion of the topic. She told me to call her if ever there are problems I will meet.


Thanks God it’s Friday!!!!

I’m happy that today is the last day of the week where I can sleep early and can wake up late the day after. Same with the routine yesterday, I was the one tasked to do the teaching in the first 3 sections, then after, my ct took charge the class.

At the end of the day, good teaching is about having fun, experiencing pleasure and intrinsic rewards ... like locking eyes with a student in the back row and seeing the synapses and neurons connecting, thoughts being formed, the person becoming better, and a smile cracking across a face as learning all of a sudden happens. Good teachers practice their craft not for the money or because they have to, but because they truly enjoy it and because they want to. Good teachers couldn't imagine doing anything else.


Today is a special holiday since it was the day for every Filipinos in celebrating from being freed from Martial law.

There are no classes today. But I still made sure that do something meaningful despite the day’s break. I started compiling the components for our professional portfolio.


Pupils were very hyperactive especially when I’m having a class. Some pupils especially the boys and slow learners do not pay attention with my discussion. I feel do annoyed and makes my temper high. It hurts too much everytime you give your very best to something but still you fail. I had given all my best to discipline the learners, yet it has no effect to them.

I therefore concluded that there is really a big difference between the children nowadays and from the past. During my elementary year, I could remember that once our teacher keeps quiet, it simply means that we should stop talking. One word is enough for us. But now, even if you keep on scolding them, they simply listens to your words but did not put it in their minds.

February 24, 2010\ (Wednesday)

I came in to school at exactly 6:26 in the morning. My CT was busy for she has a lot of things to do. She was a teacher as well as the school photographer. She was busy taking photos with all grade 6 pupils of San Roque who will be graduating this school year.

She gave instructional materials about the topic adverbs then I was the one who conducted the class discussion. I explained and reviewed the class about adverbs then I gave them activities to be answered right after the discussions. In HeKaSi I let them read the topic for the day and gave them an activity.

We also conducted our community outreach at barangay 18-B. We had our outreach and feeding program to the children residing at Barangay 18-B. We prepared a program and prizes for the games that we had for the children.


Thank God it’s Friday!!!

I was then assisting my cooperating teacher in the things she needed. She asked me to have the class in some sections as she was having things to do. Instructional materials for the topic and all the instructions of the things I would do for the class were all given to me.


Today, we the USeP interns were excused from our classes because we were tasked to assist in the preparation for the Alumni Homecoming dubbed “A WALK TO REMEMBER.” Mrs. Jean Leonar was the one who requested us to help in the preparation of the big event which was the very first time to happen since then. I will be also part of this event because I was one of the products and a graduate of San Roque Central Elementary School.

It was a great honor for us since it was the first time that the school will be having its reunion. We made sure that we really worked for it so that we will be also part of the success of the event. We really did our very best in the first ever homecoming to be prestigious. But the fun doesn’t stop here. Tomorrow is the big day. We are so excited to meet the people and the alumni of San Roque. We were assigned to assist everything to be needed for the said event. I was tasked in the registration section.

Me, myself was even excited with the big event because I am very excited to meet my former classmates in my alma mater, not only my classmates but also my teachers and mentors who inspired me.

March 1, 2010 (Monday)

The San Roque team made a request from the school to excused in 3 days for the making of our portfolio. Mrs. Ebardo, SRCES principal approved the letter that’s why we were formally excused from the school. We requested a 3-days leave for the completion of our portfolio. I had already told my cooperating teacher about it so she already knew it in advance.

However I still went to school for pictorial purposes and for some important matters that is still relevant for our final project. I let my CT signed some documents to be included of the said project.

March 2, 2010 (Tuesday)

Today was our second day of being excused but still we reported at SRCES for some unfinished business. Some of these businesses are taking photos. I and one of my co-intern Reziel took a photo with the school principal which is also helpful in accomplishing our project for our documentation.

It was so tiring today because we really had overtime for our portfolio making but I know in a few weeks our agony will be lessened since the graduation day is fast approaching. We can then take a rest after doing this one.

March 3, 2010(Wednesday)

It was our last day for being excused from SRCES, but still I wasn’t able to finish my work. I found a hard time in finishing my portfolio because I don’t have any technology to be used and I don’t also have enough money to have it in an internet café. So I decided to double my energy and power to make it successfully and also to sustain my strength. Fortunately, I have a friend, Reziel, who shared her laptop to me and through it I was able to do my things.

I learned how to be more dedicated and do the things I need to do to accomplish it ahead from the deadline.

March 4, 2010 (Thursday)

I reported to SRCES this day since our regular duties resumed. My cooperating teacher only let me checked the formal themes of the pupils. And I’ve realized that its not an easy task because you have to correct the words used and grammar check. While Mrs. Cadavas was having her class to different sections, I just stayed inside our classroom.

Mrs. Cadavas keeps on asking about what more do I need for my requirements. So without hesitation, I told her everything I needed. I also asked some information and suggestion of the things I should do. I’m So lucky that I was assigned to a cooperating teacher like Maam Cadavas who is thoughtful and kind.

March 5, 2010 (Friday)

Today was the National Achievement Test of grade 6. The grade 4 section one has no class because our room was used by the examiners.

However, I still reported in the school though Mrs. Cadavas was not around. Actually she told me that it will be okay if I will not report in school, but I preferred to stay I school rather than staying at home. What I did was I checked the formal theme notebooks that were task for me to do.

The day ended successfully!!!

"To Achieve Your Dreams Remember Your ABC's

Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Believe in yourself. Consider things from every angle. Don't give up and don't give in. Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never

come. Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches. Give more than you planned to.

Hang on to your dreams. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Just do it. Keep trying no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier. Love yourself first and most. Make it happen. Never lie, cheat or steal,

always strike a fair deal. Open your eyes and see things as they really are. Practice makes perfect. Quitters never win and winners never quit. Read, study and learn about everything important in your

Stop procrastinating. Take control of your own destiny. Understand yourself in order to better understand others. Visualize it. Want it more than anything. ‘Excellerate’ your efforts. You are unique of

all God's creations, nothing can replace YOU. Zero in on your target and go for it!"

Experiential Learning

(C. Rogers)

Instructional materials are kind of tools or equipments can help effectively the instructor in theory teaching classroom or in practical assessment.

Overview:

Rogers distinguished two types of learning: cognitive (meaningless) and experiential (significant). The

former corresponds to academic knowledge such as learning vocabulary or multiplication tables and the

latter refers to applied knowledge such as learning about engines in order to repair a car. The key to the

distinction is that experiential learning addresses the needs and wants of the learner. Rogers lists these

qualities of experiential learning: personal involvement, self-initiated, evaluated by learner, and

pervasive effects on learner.

To Rogers, experiential learning is equivalent to personal change and growth. Rogers feels that all

human beings have a natural propensity to learn; the role of the teacher is to facilitate such learning.

This includes: (1) setting a positive climate for learning, (2) clarifying the purposes of the learner(s), (3)

organizing and making available learning resources, (4) balancing intellectual and emotional

components of learning, and (5) sharing feelings and thoughts with learners but not dominating.

According to Rogers, learning is facilitated when: (1) the student participates completely in the learning

process and has control over its nature and direction, (2) it is primarily based upon direct confrontation

with practical, social, personal or research problems, and (3) self-evaluation is the principal method of

assessing progress or success. Rogers also emphasizes the importance of learning to learn and an

openness to change.

Roger's theory of learning evolved as part of the humanistic education movement (e.g., Patterson, 1973;

Valett, 1977).

Scope/Application:

Roger's theory of learning originates from his views about psychotherapy and humanistic approach to

psychology. It applies primarily to adult learners and has influenced other theories of adult learning such

as Knowles and Cross. Combs (1982) examines the significance of Roger's work to education. Rogers &

Frieberg (1994) discuss applications of the experiential learning framework to the classroom.

Example:

A person interested in becoming rich might seek out books or classes on ecomomics, investment, great

financiers, banking, etc. Such an individual would perceive (and learn) any information provided on this

subject in a much different fashion than a person who is assigned a reading or class.

Principles:

1. Significant learning takes place when the subject matter is relevant to the personal interests of the

student

2. Learning which is threatening to the self (e.g., new attitudes or perspectives) are more easily

assimilated when external threats are at a minimum

3. Learning proceeds faster when the threat to the self is low

4. Self-initiated learning is the most lasting and pervasive.

Social Learning Theory

(A. Bandura)

Overview:

The social learning theory of Bandura emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the

behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Bandura (1977) states: "Learning would be

exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own

actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally

through modeling: from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and

on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action." (p22). Social learning theory

explains human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, an

environmental influences. The component processes underlying observational learning are: (1)

Attention, including modeled events (distinctiveness, affective valence, complexity, prevalence,

functional value) and observer characteristics (sensory capacities, arousal level, perceptual set, past

reinforcement), (2) Retention, including symbolic coding, cognitive organization, symbolic rehearsal,

motor rehearsal), (3) Motor Reproduction, including physical capabilities, self-observation of

reproduction, accuracy of feedback, and (4) Motivation, including external, vicarious and self

reinforcement.

Because it encompasses attention, memory and motivation, social learning theory spans both cognitive

and behavioral frameworks. Bandura's theory improves upon the strictly behavioral interpretation of

modeling provided by Miller & Dollard (1941). Bandura’s work is related to the theories of Vygotsky and

Lave which also emphasize the central role of social learning.

Scope/Application:

Social learning theory has been applied extensively to the understanding of aggression (Bandura, 1973)

and psychological disorders, particularly in the context of behavior modification (Bandura, 1969). It is

also the theoretical foundation for the technique of behavior modeling which is widely used in training

programs. In recent years, Bandura has focused his work on the concept of self-efficacy in a variety of

contexts (e.g., Bandura, 1997).

Example:

The most common (and pervasive) examples of social learning situations are television commercials.

Commercials suggest that drinking a certain beverage or using a particular hair shampoo will make us

popular and win the admiration of attractive people. Depending upon the component processes

involved (such as attention or motivation), we may model the behavior shown in the commercial and

buy the product being advertised.

Principles:

1. The highest level of observational learning is achieved by first organizing and rehearsing the modeled

behavior symbolically and then enacting it overtly. Coding modeled behavior into words, labels or

images results in better retention than simply observing.

2. Individuals are more likely to adopt a modeled behavior if it results in outcomes they value.

3. Individuals are more likely to adopt a modeled behavior if the model is similar to the observer and has

admired status and the behavior has functional value.

Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.

We had our feeding program with the children of barangay 18-B in Obrero.

Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering,

averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never

wasted.

There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.

INTRODUCTION

Reading is the process of getting meaning from printed word symbols. It is an active

attempt on the part of a reader, to understand a writer’s message. The reader interacts with and

tries to reconstruct what a writer wishes to communicate.

Why read? Book is the instrument for perpetuating the body of knowledge painfully and

slowly accumulated through ages of man. They are also the means of preserving and maintaining

the solid foundation of culture and learning.

Learning to read is an individual process. Proper reading instruction depends on the

diagnosis of each child weaknesses and needs. Reading problem should be detected early and

corrected before they deteriorate into failure frustration reaction cases.

The mentors of the primary level students have a very important role for the development

of each child. They should have a variety of approaches so that students belong in primary level

especially in the third grade level will be motivated to read and comprehend.

Background of the Study

Some children entering the third grade are not yet ready for formal instruction in reading.

Premature introduction in reading in the grade three students delay progress in learning other

abilities that are essential in developing balance in acquiring the initial reading skills.

Children progress at different rated. Some are fast learners and others are very slow in

their developments in reading. Parents are concerned with the rapid educational advancement of

their children, but our experience shows that some parents are impatient and anxious to see the

progress. There are also parents that did not give time to their children in reading. A child must

get a good start at home and in the school in learning to read. This is the foundation for all

academic learning.

Problem Analysis

On the basis of observation, it was found out that there are competences, which children

must acquire prior to receiving formal instruction in reading. The following are:

1. Adequate reading readiness activities given to the students in grade three. This

pertains to the capacity/capability of the child to perform independence in any given

task.

2. Adequate auditory discrimination. Students must be able to detect the difference

between the initial, medial, and final sounds.

3. Adequate ability to articulate sounds of the letter in alphabets. Students should be

able to say the letters sounds distinctly to blend with another letters to be able to read

the words.

4. Adequate ability in visual discriminations. Students should be able to see the

similarities and differences among letters and letter combinations.

Formulating Hypothesis

The causes why other pupils in primary level especially in Grade I- Mangga are slow

reader:

a. Students did not undergo pre-school.

b. Students came from lower class families. Parents cannot provide reading

materials at home.

c. Students with emotional problems sufficiently serious to make them disrupt their

learning process.

d. Teachers are lack of reading materials, textbooks and references. Materials serve

as the tools for teaching reading.

Experimentation

After knowing the causes, the pupils of Grade I- Mangga must be first introduce to

“Reading Readiness” so that children will be prepared for the reading readability. This pertains

to the materials/text to read.

Identifying the similarities and differences of objects and letters, are lesson activities in

Reading Readiness. Here are some exercises:

Direction: A. Ring the object or letter that is similar to the left.

1.

2.

B. Check the object or letter that is different from the left.

1.

2.

Beginning Reading follows. Here is the letter sound of the alphabets that were introduced

and writing will be included in the activities. Here are the sequences of letter sounds:

a s m l e I ss f t n o

r g oo ee th b c p h y d

v x ea u ll w x d j x ai

A

S t RR

A Z A

There should be a mastery of blending of letter sounds. Let children read word, then

phrases and sentences. Almost all of the pupils in section Mangga can read and write simple

words as;

Words: cat dog rain seed

Phrases: a bag of fan hen and net

Sentences: The van has a mat. Ben’s hen is red.

At this time, the pupils are beginning the reading stage. The mentors at this stage in

learning gave emphasis to reading with comprehension. Pupils should be given with more

exercises in reading and writing. Each pupil is required to stand in the class and read everyday.

Strategies must also be created for every lesson in reading start with story telling or poem. With

this, activity, the children will have the desire to learn to read fast and can be exposed to the

natural language and correct language structure. The target of a teacher is 85% reading

proficiency.

V. Evaluation

Varied activities like book reading and adopted remedial instruction develop speed and

accuracy in reading. A record must also be kept in any test given to students, oral and written and

the chance that took place.

With the help of Phil IRI materials and Reading Proficiency test the teacher, reading

progress of students will be checked individually. From the said test, slow-reader and fast readers

were identified.

Slow readers were given special attention, and only them will be given remedial

instruction and were limited in number to ensure that all were given proper attention. If there

were many slow readers in class, they were scheduled alternately.

Two weeks later, another reading proficiency test is conducted. There was a great

improvement. The 19 slow readers can read better than their performance before.

VI. Conclusion and Generalization

Reading is important and should be given more attention by the teacher especially in the

first grader. It is essential in learning other abilities.

The teacher should consider individual differences. Student’s progresses are at different

rate. It is up for the teachers to find out the importance of letting the child read in front of the

class everyday, remedial instruction, uses of chart, informing the parents of their child’s reading

skills.

If the child had not attended kindergarten class, reading readiness should be introduced

before Beginning Reading. If this stage is introduced before formal reading, the teacher will be

very sure of 98% to 100% of the class can read and are prepared to go to the next higher grade.
