"Jurassic"

1.   My Accomplishments

There are many things that are pupping in my mind then I realized that I had only one teaching because of some situations.

            Last Wednesday, I had my pre con with sir Ambong he said my lesson plan is good and he asked me who were my teachers before in lesson planning. Then I said Sir Catama and Sir Joy.

2.   My Significant Experiences

Monday, I did not have my lesson plan because my CT told me that she will be the one to handle my class and because I had my assessment.

Tuesday, I taught the story entitled “Wedding Dance”.

            I asked favor to my CT that I will handle the Makabansa class at 11-12PM for my rated demo with my SI. But she said “it cannot be because I will be observed too so any of the three sections that I will be observed. You will handle the worst section.” Then I said “ma’am how is that because we already fix our schedule with my classmates and the schedule of our SI’s is limited because they have also their class in the University.” Still, she doesn’t like that’s why I sacrificed to have a schedule on Thursday. That’s why I interchange my schedule with Miss Kidkid that instead of Tuesday it became Thursday.

Wednesday, I did not have my teaching because I had my exam. During my exam I’m having a headache so I cannot concentrate  in answering and I don’t know what I’m writing.

At 4:15, I approached sir Ambong for my rated demo on Thursday and he said my LP is good. Then I said thank you sir.

            Thursday, I had a Jurassic class and a useless preparation. I was so ashamed with Sir Ambong and Sir Sylvester because nothing happened good in my class. The class was too much; they don’t even respect us so I felt sorry to Sir Ambong. Sylvester said “Why you cannot mad here in your class?” I said “they cannot even hear me even I will shout.” When we arrived in the library my classmates congratulate me and asked me if how was my demo!!! Suddenly, I cried because I can’t express my feeling. I was so weak and my chest was so heavy. L

            I always felt sorry to myself especially Sir Ambong because I wasted his time. This is my text to sir Ambong “Good pm sir, I’m so sorry I did not expect that to happen. I wasted your time, but at least you saw how my class behaves. ” he replied “No problem. I understand. Just get another schedule for Monday and tell me.” Then I said “thank you po Sir”

            My class doesn’t have their outputs because my CT did not give back their assignments as their materials of travel brochure. And yet before my demo I approached my CT and she said, she already groups the students and give back their assignments.

            Friday, I went to my CT to report what happened.  Told her “ma’am what will I do because yesterday my SI did not rate me because my class was disaster.” She answered me “Talga met nga kasjay diyay nga class at hindi talga pang demo yong lesson mo.”

 What she mean from this? I was so hurt that time and I want to cry. SobraLLL

3.   My Insights

After all these things happened, I watch a video entitled “TALK- how to develop a positive mindset” this was my encouragement and my comfort because I had a heavy feeling.

For all the things that are happening it’s a challenge, but it’s too much and I’m bothered.” I can do all things whose God strengthens me. “

4.   Problems

My problem is my CT because she talks that as if she’s not a teacher like the following:  “I apo daytoy nga student teacher!! Talaga met a nga han nga pang demo jay lesson nga diyay. Jurrasikin natin sya. Ipunta natin sa worst section.”

5.   Solutions

I will still be humble and kind to her even she is not good to me. It’s my commitment even it’s too much as long as I can (crying while encoding^^^^^^^ I even don’t know if my grammar is correct because my feeling is so heavy and I cannot understand why she likes that)

            I will stay strong whatever happens. And I will just pray for her that one day she will realize what she did.

6.   Goal for Next Week

 I will do the things that can help me and i will ask some CT to give me a lesson for me to have an additional rated lessons.

School Life

1.  My Accomplishments

Last Monday was a typhoon day so we don’t have a class then I made my IM’s for my class.

I enjoyed teaching last Wednesday until Friday even my class was so disgusting because of their behavior. But I’m still happy because they participated in all activities that I have given. Moreover, I conducted a Summative test for the four section of my critique teacher. At last, as usual I don’t have tardiness so I’m so happy.

2.  My Significant Experience

Firstly, a good learning environment will facilitate our learners. As we know public school have many students, so in my class every time I entered I felt I’m in the market because the students were so noisy and playing around the classroom. I always start my lesson by disciplining them especially reminding them to go back to their proper seat.

Besides that, every time I entered my class the students asked me “Are we going to do some activities again?” Then I said yes, they were so happy. Based from their reaction I was so happy because they want to participate for the activities and if I call their attention they can listen to me, but of course some students cannot participate so I tried to encourage them to do their task.  

Amazingly, last Thursday my critique teacher told me to handle the four sections. When     I entered 7:40 class they welcomed me and some students hugged me and said “I miss you! Why you did not teach us for the past days?” then I said because I handled the Mapagmalasakit section. And they said they want me to come back and teach them again. Moreover, when I entered the two sections I encountered the same question and reaction. They want me to come back to their classes and they said “I miss you! We want you to teach us.” Actually, I was a substitute during my first week so I met the four sections, that’s why they knew me and missed me. But then two weeks ago I did not handle the three sections because I handled one section, and that section is the worst among them, according to my CT.

3. My Insights

School life is experience. In school, students can participate in lots of activities, make many friends and enjoy the protection by teachers. But some as we know sometimes not all students can participate because of their interest. I witnessed with some of my students, they just want to tease their classmates, to laugh nothing, to sleep, to talk none sense, to roam around and to make a noise by stamping the wall and the chairs.

Some students may think that as long as they have entered their class they are contented. But they did not realize the hardship of their teachers and their parents support. Furthermore, I appreciated those students who are doing well their responsibilities. Therefore, I want to give varied activities that will attract their interest in learning. And I would like to care for them in a way that I will call their attention if they are in the wrong way.

Anyway, I always think this is a plan of God to me because at first my CT told me that I will not handle the worst section, but then I’m handling now. Anything is possible God cannot give us a trial that we cannot solve so I will keep going even it’s so hard.

4. Problems

Last Thursday, I heard the conversation of my CT and the adviser of my class that there is a problem with some students so that’s why their behavior is like that. When I heard that I felt strange and I said to myself “Why my CT give me that section and yet they have a serious problem” so that begins my fear and I think how can I deal with that students. When I entered my class last Friday I saw the students who were sleeping so I tapped their table and when they got up, I asked them “Why are you sleeping?” they said “ Ma’am said we better sleep than to make a noise.” Then I said bring out ¼ sheet of paper and answer the activity given. Happily, they listen to me and do their task.

5. Solution

God cannot give me a trial that I cannot solve. So I believed that I can manage that class through my observation and my strategy to teach and encourage them to learn. I will also continue giving activities that can catch their attention to study and participate in learning their lessons.

6. Goal for Next Week

I want to teach my students well and to encourage them especially those students who need to catch their attention for them to participate in learning their lessons. 

As Albert Einstein said “Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep your balance you have to keep MOVING. ”

“Sanctification”

1.  My Accomplishments

Well, “on my honor”:) :) :) I survived the BSP training for three days with my sickness. I was so hard up because of my sick, but at least I joined the activities and I enjoyed like knot tying, measuring, bandaging, skit and listening to the speakers lectured. After BSP training, I entered my class and I was still sick so I was worried because I had my teaching. Luckily I did it because my class participated so I was not hard up in handling them.

2.  My Significant Experience

What a week :) :) :) I’m really looking forward for my good health since last week. I’m not comfortable because I was sick. I attended the BSP training even though I’m not feeling well because I want to experience how BSP training is. But suddenly on the first and second day I was frustrated because the discussion of the scouter was repeated and the PowerPoint is not suited, it contains small fonts face and most of us were sleepy. However I really fight my sleepiness and my sick because I don’t want to insults the speakers.

The last day of our training, I enjoyed because we had varied activities like bandaging, knot tying, measuring and rope work. After those days, I expected to teach the topic that my CT told me a week before the training, but then when I went to her office she told me that I will not teach because she taught the lesson and one thing we had a meeting. Then I made my lesson plan for the next lesson so I taught last Friday. I was still sick but I did it and I’m so glad because   the students participated actively and did their task. After my teaching my friends asked me if how was my class. Then I said “I enjoyed and its okey the students participated.” And they said “Oh expect the unexpected.”

God is good all the time.

3.  My Insights

Sometimes I think negative because of my sickness, but I still I need to push myself that I can do all things because there’s no impossible with God. For the week that I have been, I’m so glad because at least I still joined the training, and entered my class.  Even it was so hard because I’m so weak. Luckily I survived. However, I expected my class that they will be noisy and impatient because when I observed them before they were disgusting, but then it was not. Nevertheless they participated actively.  Ad I’m so happy for that situation. “Expect the unexpected.”

4.  Problems

What a blessing :) I cannot teach again on Tuesday because my CT said she will give an examination for her classes. So she told me I will not teach. Aside from that my lesson plan, I was taught not to use “let them… let them…” in stating instructions, but my CT want to use “let them”. And for the objectives she wants me to use values only in stating my objectives and yet at first when I asked her if what lesson plan will I use, she said the one that I learned. So now I’m confused because I was not taught by her standard.

5.  Solutions

Anyway, I will follow what she wants so that I will not get a lower score. And I have a plan to consult her if I can go to another CT so that I will finish the 30 rated lesson plans because in fact I finished only two rated LP and yet the remaining days are not enough for me. I can do all things with the help of God.

6.  Goals for Next Week

Third week is approaching so I want to continue my teaching to finish my task. I will try my best to ask my CT if I can make a lesson plan for the exam so that I will have my rated LP on Tuesday. And I will not be late in going to school. :) :) :) :) :)

One More Time

1.  My Accomplishments

It is already September! I’m still kicking and hitting the mark of my studies.

Last Tuesday until Thursday, I had an observation with the class of my critique teacher.  Then I facilitated the quiz of the students because my CT was settling the problems of some students. And last Friday, I had my first rated lesson plan. Moreover I complete my attendance and I don’t have a late on my record.

2.  My Significant Experience

During my observation, I witnessed the attitudes of the students during their classes and it was so disgusting. But there are other sections that are respectful and silent. Then last Friday, I had my teaching at 7:40 to 8:40 and it was so good because the students participated and accomplished their task. Moreover, I was sick before my teaching. So I asked a favor to my critique teacher that I will only handle one class and she said “Okey, just give me your materials and I will be the one to teach.”

3.  My Insights

I think this observation was a good opportunity to engage with the diverse students. Even though I only observed for two hours on the three days observation, they were actually able to give me some information about their attitudes so that I can easily adjust if I will teach them. “The best thing is to move on, that forward the anxieties, until there is a calm and wonderful day. It is essential to be patient and to bear in mind that nothing one feels is the tail. ”

4.  Problems

I really think the days of my teaching because I’m so delayed. I only finished one rated lesson plan because my critique teacher needs to finish her lesson. Since when I asked her to let me do the quiz she refused that so I just had my first rated lesson plan last Friday.

5.  Solutions

What a day: Sometimes I wish there was a “Magic Pill” out there to dissolve all my problems. But the more I learn and understand I realize that it all starts with my thoughts. That is what I need to solve my problem with the help of God. I love myself and I need to be happy in everything I do. I can have a remedy soon if I cannot accomplish the 30 rated lessons. I just need to be positive whatever trials I can encounter because they are my bridge to success.

6.  Goals for Next Week

I’m expecting to have beautiful and awesome week. I’m looking forward for the Boy Scout Training and my teaching and especially my good health. And I can truly enjoy my days.
