“Anxiety”

1.   My Accomplishments

Wednesday, I taught journal writing in 7 Matapat, I was assigned to give the announcement at the third and fourth year department, I wrote the names of the honor students of my critic teacher and I brought it to the assistant principal, I encoded the songs for the mass ceremony on Saturday and I delivered the calendar of activities to the English teachers in Grade 9 and fourth year. Thursday, I taught spelling bee in 7 Matapat and I delivered a letter to the assistant principal. Friday, I taught tongue twister in 7 Matapat and 7 Matatag. I cut and pasted the names of the students on the plastic envelop for their cards. I also cut flowers for the decoration of the stage for the mass and culminating activities on Saturday (November 8, 2014). Then, I help some of my classmates to decorate those flowers. Moreover, I help my critic teacher to get some flowers for the decoration of the stage.  And most of all I took a surprise exam at 5PM-6:45PM.

2.   My Experiences

Chill! Chill! Chill! I was so nervous before my first teaching in 7 Matapat then when I entered the class my nervous gone. On the second day of my teaching I was still nervous before I entered the class. On the third day, I was so nervous again I need to do “wiggle-wiggle-wiggle” because I handle a new class and of course I will deal again new faces and behaviors. In my first week of teaching, I was so uncomfortable because I met new diverse students, some were respectful and some were disrespectful. Though, I’m so grateful because my students were participative in every activity and they answered also the questions given to them as well as they shared their ideas and opinions.

May be this time everything is a surprise.  We submitted suddenly our requirements because some of our classmates said to us on time and also the exam in EDUC118A they said to us on time and they did not tell to everybody so the others didn’t know.

  

3.   My Insights

I’m so grateful to my challenging class because they are active and they really answer my questions and share their ideas.

I realized that I will not depend from the announcement and text message of the coordinators because actually I did not even hear from her an announcement about the requirements. Instead of preparing my papers without their words so that if they will say “Submit your requirements” I can easily submit. Next time, I will prepare everything for my requirements so that I will accomplish everything. Moreover, I learned that “I must prepare everything for my requirements without the information.”

4.   Problem/s

I’m hoping that I will complete the two lesson plans in Laboratory High School, which I did not finish in Public.

5.   Solution

I will accept if my critic teacher will give me a lesson every day, as long as I’m feeling well.

6.   Goals for Next Week

I will help my critic teacher to facilitate the scrabble in her classes and I will do the things that she will be giving to me. I will also ask some lessons for me to prepare my lesson plans.
