I. Title: Project ABODE and Project ABCDEF

II. Rationale

Magdalena Elementary School is categorized as a Multigrade School. It has been

a challenge for MG Teachers to provide the quality education to MG Pupils. Though in a
combination class, each of the pupils deserve what the pupils in a mono-grade get. This
is an extra-challenge for the MG teacher – to provide them quality education that will
enable them to become truly productive members of the society.

It has been observed that in every endeavor, one key to success is readiness and
preparation. Once a child is ready to accept things, we must feed him with things he
could process. It is deemed that when a child is accepted in school, he/she is already
ready to be taught. The way teachers give things to the child is a preparation for that
child-learner to become successful later on.

Benjamin Franklin said, “By failing to prepare, you are prepairing to fail.” It is on
this context that as early as June or the first quarter of the School Year that schools
should have been starting to implement the plans they have for the becoming of the
learners. As promoters of quality education, teachers can’t afford to fail a child who can
become a catalyst of change in making the world we live in a better place.

The totality of the school year is not just about lessons. Even the calendar of
school activities presented many things to do and holidays to get involved with. The
school year offers anew its academic, co-curricular and extra curricular activites.

Alan Armstrong stated, “Champions do not become champions when they win the
event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious
performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.” School
children are in their own little ways, can become champions too in their different endeavors. As
a teacher, one can develop a child’s literacy, numeracy, and other talents or intelligences a child
could have.

Causes of the Problem

Magdalena Elementary School has limited number of textbooks, more so if we

ask if its K-12 Curriculum parralel. More than anything, an MG school like MES has
limited time and concentration to complete the required curriculum because of its 2:1
grade level classroom ratio.

When an MG teacher is confined in the teaching-learning process, he/she could

become overworked cause the real process of an MG Teaching is giving activities to the
first grade level while explaining to the second grade level. When the explaining is done
in the second grade level, the teacher goes back to the first grade level and explain or
process the given activity. The cycle goes on until the completion of the day’s learning
areas. The break of the teacher comes only in recess time and the lunch break. MG
teachers, while they envy a mono-grade teacher with vacant time enjoys more contact
time to pupils, playing a hero’s role as the division calls them “superheroes in the
classroom.”
The curriculum is just one factor in a child’s totality. Aside from intelligence,
another factor which could define a good pupil is also character.

During the crafting of the School Improvement Plan or SIP, one of the many
projects approved is eCLASS or “Establishing Conferences, LACS, and School Seminars”.
Aside from teacher-related activities, it also gives emphasis to the contacts by the
adviser to the learners. These are the Project ABODE and Project ABCDEF.

Project ABODE or Activities Before Opening Daily Education would require an

earlier attendance to school as it pushes activites before starting the regular lessons.
This involves, mini-programs, mastering phonics and multiplication table, poem
recitations, singing, and dancing (Zumba). In many instances, pupils who are very early in
coming to school after a little school clean-up would just loiter around. The need to
divert their punctuality to productive work in school is through activities before the
formal lessons. Through the creative materials presented in the said activities, late
comers can also be encouraged to come earlier to become a part of the “before class
activities.”

Project ABCDEF on the other hand is Activities Before Closing the Daily
Educational Formations. These are the activities that pupils do before going home.
Examples of these activities are Clean-up, Reinforcement Activities for the different
learning areas, Reviews in preparation of contests, journalism class, and sports
development activities. It is reflected in the class programs of every grade levels that
formal lessons end 4:30. To maximize pupil time in school, pupils are now directed to do
ABCDEF together with the assigned teachers who would tender extra works for school
and pupil development.

III. Plan of Action

Obectives:

1. To implement 30-minute activity time before the formal lessons and

another 30 minute time after the day-to-day class program.
2. To provide a learning time to pupils who wish to develop their talents or
innate multiple intelligence.
3. To boost pupils’ retention rate and enhance pupils’ mastery learning of
the lessons
