PAA, TUHOD

Friday (February 5, 2010)
I went again to DGCYSES in Calantipayan. Sad to say, I was not able to observe my cooperating class because they we're having their review. Instead, Ma'am Tan told me to observe Grade two because i don't have anything to observe in the review of Grade 6 pupils. So, I went to Ma'am Esclanda's room she was very accommodating though there we're many observers in her classroom already. I helped them in preparing visual materials. Afterward, Ma'am Esclanda asked me to write her lesson in Mathematics on the manila paper. Children we're very smart. Then, Ma'am Esclanda asked us if we can teach the students a song so, Maricel tried first but she was not familiar with the song that she was trying to teach. So, Rialyn and I taught the new version of "paa, tuhod." I felt good though I was so nervous and shy because the pupils loved the song. That was my first time. Then, we finished and the students was about to go home, Leigh said, he was one of the smart pupils there, that he wants me to be his teacher someday. Then, I told them that I will not be there again because I will be in Grade 6. They said that they gonna miss me! Oh! I was very touched!

GREAT PERFORMANCE

Tuesday, January 26, 2010
I went to my cooperating school, in DGCYSES. There, I met Ma'am Eunice, she's the intern in Grade 6 wherein I was assigned. She gave way for me to introduce myself to the pupils. Afterward, Rialyn told me that Ma'am Tan asked us to watch the local demonstration of Ms. Arenas, she's the intern in Grade 2. We're very amazed in her performance. Though, its my first time to watch demonstration teaching, I could say that she had indeed a very great demonstration. I like the way she approached and motivated her pupils. Eventhough, I observed that there we're mistakes sometimes (like she's uttering "tagalog" words or the use of her past and present tense) still it was so small compared to her over all performance. After that, Ma'am Tan asked us to come in her office for a meeting. She mentioned some important points that could help us in the future. Like, you should be unique in your own way in teaching primary grade pupils because it is the foundation or the basic. When I got home, there's a thought came to my mind, "How about me, if I am already in my internship?"
