Week 10

(October 13- 17, 2014)

Stress-Free Living! (ngayon lang)

My Accomplishments

This week was a bit stress-free since the students will take their second grading examination on Thursday and Friday (Oct. 16-17, 2014). Before the students have their examination, I gave the students their summative test and just facilitate the class. The students also take their listening skill test and I facilitate again. My critic teacher and I help each other to facilitate the four sections in making their diorama as their project in English since we finished reviewing them. Before their examination the teachers had their meeting about the teachers and staffs that will help the other teachers proctor their class. But since some of the advisers have their student teachers, we are going to help them proctor their advisory class. And that’s what all the student teachers did during the exam; others were already checking the test papers in our “quarters”. That was my accomplishments this week.

Good Rapport!

My Significant Experiences

I had a lot of fun this week not only because it’s the students examination that makes us go home early but because I was able to have bonding with my students while they are working with their dioramas.  You know “chika- chika” for a while and some students were really that open and they were also asking questions and so on. During their examination, I was having fun as well because I was able to have fun with the advisory class of my critic teacher. Though I only taught them for like two weeks, because I told my critic teacher that I can’t handle her class because they have attitude problems. Before whenever I enter their class I was always frowning. It is their fault because they are showing bad attitudes that only their adviser can handle. But during the exam, I was able to smile and laugh with them because they were joking and making fun of me. They were saying gossips like their classmate have a crush on me and they were telling him to ask me on a date later and that stuff. AhHHH!! High schools!!  And I was always “binabasag” them. But I was having fun. It just shows that they also have a heart, a good side that I only saw now. I was thinking that if maybe they show their good side (behavior) and their jokes during class I was able to teach them often. Now that we only have one more week to stay in this school, it makes me sad because I was starting to like the experience. The bonding that we are sharing together with my co-student teachers, my loving and very “kulit” students I’m sure gonna miss  them (ngayon pa lang). But then, I always think of the positive side, this is not the end.

My Heart as a Teacher.

My Insights

I never thought that I will love teaching. Basically, teaching is not my first passion.  I just enrolled because they said so, it’s a cliché, I know. But when I’m already in the field, as a student teacher, I felt that I think this is my calling. I really love it. And my heart as a teacher is a heart full of love, passion, respect, enthusiast, honesty, respect, and faith and constant. A heart that thinks about the well-fare of the students and not only thinking about myself.  As they say “It takes a big HEART to help shape little minds.”

This is the heart I made during our seminar entitled “The Heart of a Teacher” with the written Virtues of a teacher (Compassionate, Dignified, Enthusiastic, Faithful, Forgiving, Gentle, Honest, Humility, Resourceful, Responsible, Respectful, and Tolerant).  It was weaved that's why it is like that. :D 

Rated LPs

Problem

This week I was able to give e lesson plans to my critic teacher. Now, my problem is I still need seven or five more lesson plans for me to complete my 30 lessons and we only have a week left to finish it before we deploy in the private school.

  

More Lessons

Solutions

The only solution for me to finish my 30 lesson plans is to teach more lessons next week before we leave the public school. :D

I aim for it!

My Aim

My very goal for next week is to finish my 30 rated lessons and other requirements before the goodbyes.
