week 11

Farewell

Week 11( 20-24)

My accomplishment

I accomplished the 30 lessons. I finished my extension at the library. I facilitated during the item analysis of our students. I helped my critic teacher in her instructional material. I also considered being early in school as my accomplishment.

My significant experience

I enjoyed the remaining days with my students. They surprised me during my last day by giving their letters. I appreciated their presents to me. Reading those letters makes me cry and just stay with them. I cried when I said goodbye to my critic teacher because I don’t want leave her. She’s not just a critic teacher to me, she’s also my motivator, best friend, sister and my inspiration to become a better teacher.

My insight

Being a teacher is eternal blessing. If you’re a good teacher your students will not forget you.

My problem

I had a hard time on thinking the prize that I will give to my students.

Solution

I bought lollipop and I wrote   a message “thank you very much”.

Goals for next week

-observe good attitude in laboratory high school

-obey the rules

- being respectful to the teachers, staffs and to my co practicumers & observers

week 10

Tired but fulfilling

Week 10(13-17)

My accomplishments

I taught 3 lessons this week. I checked late travelogues and posters of my students. I helped my critic teacher in facilitating our students during their examination. I recheck and alpabetized the test papers of our students. It was also an accomplishment to be early in school.

My significant experience

I felt good when one of my students say sorry using sign language because her classmates were very noisy.  I’m happy for my students who passed their examination and I’m sad for those who did not passed. I’m happy because I taught 3 lessons.

My insight

Always think positive, being angry inside the classroom cannot help me. I always put that statement in my mind whenever some of my students are very noisy.

My problem

I captured the cellphone of my student because he is playing while others are answering their exam. He cried when I surrendered it to the teacher. The teacher asked him to call his parents and he keeps on crying I felt guilty during that time.

My solution

I said to him that next time don’t use your phones during class hours.

My goal for next week

Enjoy the last week of teaching in Baguio city national high school.

week 9

Good job!

Week 9(7-11)

My accomplishments

I taught eight lessons this week including the Saturday class. Lucky for me that some of my class were delayed that’s why I taught different lessons. I also facilitated during their summative test. I also helped my critic teacher in giving score during the performance and scoring their final task on poster making.

My experience

Last Tuesday I asked my students to give a sentence using embedded clause. One of my students shared his example “My mother, who’s very angry, always fighting my uncle.”  While he is saying that sentence, I can feel and see his emotion. He’s face is sad and I feel pity on him. I am also happy that one of my students gave me a chocolate yesterday.

My insight

Not all students are showy in their problems. I observed that in one of my class, I have a student who is very jolly, sweet and always smiling I concluded that he is very hyperactive. However, when he shared his sentence it caught my attention, maybe there’s something in him.

My problem

There are 8 more lessons I need to accomplish to finish my 30 lessons.

My solution

I will ask the help of my critic teacher to finish my 30 lessons.

My goal for next week

Enjoy teaching for the remaining two weeks.

week 8

I feel bad

(Week 8: 29-3)

My accomplishment

I feel great that I taught five lessons this week. These are the lessons I taught: Review on (wedding dance, verb complements, primary and secondary sources), Baby in the Bottle, Irony, paradox, oxymoron, hyperbole, litotes and sentence structures. I helped my critic teacher in scoring the interpretative dance of our students. I also guide the student teacher for the day in the classroom.

My experience

I feel bad that I experienced teaching my lesson without mastering the concept. Some of my students were not participating because I did not present the topic well. I really feel bad and sorry for my students.

My insight

In order for me to discuss the baby in the bottle in an easy way, I prepared an activity in which the students will pick one object inside the box and relate it in the story.

My problem

I got a hard time on thinking how am I going to discuss my topic within 40 minutes.

Solution

I just present the topic in an easy way by citing more examples and letting my students give their own examples.

Goal for next week

My goal for next week is to master my lessons that I am going to teach.
