Week 2

(August 18-22, 2014)

Teaching

My Accomplishments

This week I was able to passed my first weekly journal, my second referred research journal and we shared the lesson we prepared by demonstrating it with to the demonstrator foe us to know what not to do during our practice teaching.

Our supervising instructor checked what instructional materials we finished but I was only able to finished five boards and chalk box. She gave suggestions about my instructional materials so that I can use it not only to one activity but in every activity.  I am going to prepare during my teaching.

Not Much Experience

My Significant Experiences

This week I don’t have much experience to talk about I only sit and listened to the demonstration of each group and learned something about teaching. We were given time to fix or make our other instructional materials. That’s it, no more significant experiences this week.

  

Enlightenment

My Insights

This week was a stress-free week for me because I was not rushing any requirements except my instructional materials but I can still finish it before the deployment since we don’t have class in three (3) days. I also learned a lot about how to teach because of the demo teaching we had with my co-practice teachers. I was able to know the right way of teaching; the facial expressions, the proper language to use, all the things I should know, it was really a big help having the demo teaching.

Not A Problem

Problems

Problems I encountered this week? not so much of a problem, I was just having butterfly in my stomach during our demo teaching because I was thinking what I I am going to be the demonstrator or if I’m going to teach, am I going to teach like her/him or better? Those questions popping through my mind during the demo teaching because I am not yet that confident especially if there are a lot of people. I’m also having a problem in making my instructional materials especially my pocket chart. I’m having a hard time thinking of a way to make my instructional material more convenient.

There Will Always Be A Way

Solutions

The problems I had encountered were just a small problem since it was still the second week practicum. There are a lot more to experience during the deployment that is why I should not be nervous and always think the positive side and always say to myself that I can do it. If my batch mates did make it during their practicum why can’t I? Especially those batch mates I know who is shyer than I do. They were able to make it so I really have to strive hard.   Definitely I will do my very best. And of course, I am also thankful to my sister that she’s helping me finish my instructional materials.

Aspiration

My Goals

My goal for next week is to be able to do my duty properly during the first week of deployment. I hope that I would be given a chance to observe my cooperating teacher before teaching for me to prepare myself and of course to observe
