Week 9

(October 6- 10, 2014)

 Go Te!

My Accomplishments

This week I was able to finish other lessons that will be added in my rated lesson plan. And I am almost finished with my 30 rated lesson plan, so hooray to me. :D

I was also happy that I taught my students good stories that have a lot of values that can be depicted from the stories. But the most wonderful accomplishment for me was when my co-practice teachers and I went to our extension at home for the boys. Even though it was just my second time to go there, I was able to see and feel that the children love to stay there and having fun whenever we were there.

My Sanctuary sana!

My Significant Experiences

I had a lot of fun this week because my lessons were in literature. Since I like teaching literature rather than grammar I was a bit excited. I was able to make my students participate in our lesson. Though they were a bit noisy at least I was still able to handle them. It was actually a good experience that I am teaching in different sections for me to know the differences of each section. Some were actually behaved but most of the four sections I am handling were noisy to the point where you cannot handle them anymore. But when you start lecturing them about their attitude, they will be silent but after a minute they start again. Sometimes it is sooOO frustrating. Like last Friday, I was letting them do or answer the exercises I prepared in preparation for their summative test on Monday. When they were checking some of them were having a lot of side comments every time they ask me to consider the other answers. When I said whatever I wrote on the board are the only answers. Then some of them were having comments like “ oy graveh naman yan, ang daya!”, “grabe edi wala na kaming score.”, “ang daya naman”, wag niyo ng icheck wala naman tayong makukuha” and a like.. With those kinds of reactions coming from my students, it’s as if I am the one at fault that they were not able to get a perfect score. To think that before I let them answer the exercises I explained everything in detail and answer one question for every item for them to know but still as if they were telling that I was not able to do my job well. That’s why I got mad and irritated and disappointed. Then when I was talking and clarifying things they were still talking about their complains and whatever… and I was about to cry because of the hurt I was feeling, as if I was not able to discuss it properly the lesson. I felt that I did not do my best that is why when I was about to cry, instead of letting them see my disappointment I just left.. ohhhHH!! Walk out ang peg ng lola moh!! Then to bring out my frustration I shared it to my colleagues and guess what hindi ako nag-iisa. Some of my colleagues were frustrated also but did not walk out just got mad in their class. hahHAHHA!!

Being a Teacher

My Insights

To create an effective student learning experiences that leads to relevant student learning outcomes, a teacher should be someone who is very enthusiastic about his specialization and in teaching. Teachers also explain the subject clearly for the students to understand the lesson well. A teacher also inspires and motivates their students and contributes to the development of students’ critical thinking skills and their values. And those are the things that I must do to achieve the learning process I wanted to impose to my students. It is not being possessive about something but I just want them to learn. 

We can do it?

Problem

My problem this week was still on the classroom management. Until now I am still finding my way out of this classroom management for me to proceed and for me to assess if I did my part.

There will be fire.

Solutions

In managing the classroom, I think I have to search and think more about strategies or methods that will cater all their behavior and attitude towards learning.

I yearn for this!

My Goal

My goal this week is to be more patient. Be positive all the time. And be able to finish the 30 lesson plans.
