Significant Experience(s)
Day 1: Productive Monday
January 28, 2019 Monday
Attended flag ceremony today, Then I have 5
classes today but 3 of them are excused
because of the practice for foundation day. I
signed their excuse letter, Then for the
remaining 2 classes, Since it’s my first time to
meet them I started by giving a 5 facts about
me, Most importantly the classroom rules.
To be productive, our CT gave us a section for
the final demo, She suggested 9-Amorsolo and
she also gave Module 16 as my topic because
my demo is supposedly March 7 or 8. We also
discussed the lesson plan and other
requirements.
Day 2: Encoding of Grades
January 29, 2019 Tuesday
Same problem here, Students are having a
hard time to pass their requirements on time.
Almost half of the class in the lower section
didn’t pass their notebooks that are why they 
don’t have grades yet. I encoded 3 out of 12
sections, because 3 sections are the ones who
completed their requirements.
Also, I have a difficult situation today. Some of
my grade 9 students come to us with their
parents to tell that their child will not go to
school anymore, because they are suspended.

Learning(s)/Insight(s) Gained
 What I realized today is that, As a teacher it’s
important to practice what you preach. Because,
students will not follow what you say to them,
When you, yourself will also not doing it. For
example, I saw a teacher in the flag ceremony
scolded some students because they are noisy,
then after 5 minutes the students saw that teacher
talking with other faculty while someone is
talking in front. Action speaks louder than
words.
 As a teacher I need to give considerations with
their grades, But they need to pass their
requirements. The deadliest deadline is on
Friday. I will give the updated grades on my
CT on Monday.
Also, I am shocked with what happened to
some of my Grade 9 students. Teens tend to
fight at social media because they are not
using their social media right. That’s why
some of my students add me on facebook but I
just tend to ignore it for now. Because,
somehow my social media are my private
account.

The reason is, they fight at the grounds

because of some quarrel in social media. I am
shocked because they have scars in their faces,
because one of them has a blade. The worst is,
some students have a video about what
happened to them, and they say it’s going viral
on the school. I can’t believe that Grade 9 can
fight like that.

Day 3: No classes Wednesday  I tried to be productive while the students are

January 30, 2019 Wednesday
Attended again the flag ceremony, Tomorrow
is the birthday of Manuel Araullo that’s why all
grade 9 are excused for their general practice.
While us, we follow up their lacking
requirements, we also plan the activities for
next week. And also, did some requirements. I
also did my powerpoints today for next week!
practicing for their field demo. My goal is no
longer to get more done, but rather to have
less to do. “Productivity is being able to do
things that you were never able to do before.”
And I’m happy to finish some of my things I
need to do.

Day 4: Happy Manuel Araullo Day! • As a teacher we need also to participate on

January 31, 2019 Thursday
No classes today because we’re going to
celebrate the birthday of Manuel Araullo. The
first part of the program is we attended the
mass, then afterwards some head and also the
principal gave their speech. Then, after that
we watched the performances of Grade 7 to
Grade 12 field demo. We really had fun 
watching them dancing although there are so
many students, It’s so crowded. After that, we
just have some class picture of Team Manila
together with our CT’s! Let’s call it a day,
Happy Thursday!
Day 5: Back to REALITY
February 1, 2019 Friday
Our CT informed us that we don’t have class
for the first two subjects because they have
the awarding ceremony. So, basically I have 3
classes more. Were still in Module 13 for
school activities because I heard some of the
teacher’s just stay at the faculty room while all
the students are downstairs. I feel happy when I
saw my students dancing even though I only
know them by their faces. I’m having a hard time
memorizing their names because I have 12
sections  I just remember them by their section.
Lastly, I will just quote here what there
principal said today “Always deliver more
than expected” For me, It is really meaningful.
There are so many expectations, But always
try your best to do more than they expect on
you.
 The most significant behavior goal for my
students is to have mutual respect for each
other and for the teacher. And, I really admire
students who always come to class and have a
desire to learn. Because, attendance here in
Araullo is very poor, They always tend to cut
their class.
