The school is one of the Five Elementary Schools in Tagum City central
district located around five kilometers away from the heart of city going to south.
Presently, there are only 23 classrooms for the primary and the intermediate,
then 2 classrooms for the Kindergarten. Almost 75% of the school buildings need

needs a Home Economics building, Reading clinic, LRC/ Library,
nutrition/feeding center, School clinic, computer room, Principal’s Office,
supply/stock room, mini-gymnasium with stage, and comfort rooms. The physical
aspects need more improvement particularly, drainage within the school
premises, landscape, graveling, fencing and more school ground improvement.
This SY 2015-2016, there are 1,576 from Kinder Garden to grade six
learners, with 37 nationally funded teachers, 1 school administrator.

area of 24,832 sq. meters was awarded to Laureta Elementary School as the
actual measurement of the total school site and part of the said lot was awarded
to Laureta National High School which was established and created in the year
1995.

Class list is important so that the teacher will be able to monitor the child’s
attendance in the class and so that you will be able to know the names of your
students. Seat plan is also important so that the teacher can monitor the where
their students seat and it is easier to identify when a students are absent on not
on their proper chairs.
Do you think the seat plan of the classroom observed contributes to the
effective classroom management of the teacher? Why?
Yes! Because this will help the teacher put those naughty students away
from each other so that they can’t disturb their other classmates when its classes
time.

The one factor that can make the most difference in improving student is a
“knowledgeable, skillful teacher”. It is important that the teacher must know how
to manage her instructional environment. Teacher Nuñez’s classroom is well-
organized and it is very conducive for learning. In times of teaching, our
Cooperating Teacher really has a system of teaching.
On taking an attendance, the teacher asks her whole class if anyone were
absent.
b. distribution and collection of resource materials and devices
such as: examination papers (quizzes, activity sheets).
The system of ma’am Nuñez's really conserves the time and the energy of
the student.
When asking and answering questions, the teacher only wants her
students to raise their hand, shouting and murmuring is prohibited.
Before and after the class, the teacher always led the pupils in praying.
They also greet our Cooperating Teacher if they will leave and enter the class.
Chistian has a mannerism of not wearing his shirt properly like putting his
arm inside his shirt all the time. As ma’am Sharon spotted him, she told Christian
to put his arms out of his shirt and don’t do it again. On the other hand, ma’am
Sharon was checking their outputs while the other pupils were roaming around,
she quickly caught the attention of the class to stay quiet and behave. Those are
the “misbehaviour” I had witnessed inside the classroom.

Communication Skills
1. After three classroom visits, what are the common observations you
had with your buddy?
On the other hand, my buddy and I also have different observations. For me I
observed that the teaching strategy of my cooperating teacher was traditional or
old way, but I can wholeheartedly say that it is merely effective as long as the
students was listening, and it is opposite on my buddy’s observation, he secretly
told me that the strategy of our cooperating teacher must updated to the kind of
student she have.
3. If you are to rate from 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest and 5 the highest),
how will you rate your communication skills? How will you improve
your interpersonal communication skills?
The greatest factor that can affect the teaching-learning process is the
communication skills. The teacher and the student must have a good
communication with each other, it is really a big help in the side of the teacher if
they know the background of her students.
Our cooperating teacher is really open-minded, when her pupils raise their
hands she will gave an opportunity to speak his point. She also encourages her
students, if they have a problem just look him at her table, and she is OK to talk
with you. Lastly, she occasionally called names randomly in times of discussion.
with you. Lastly, she occasionally called names randomly in times of discussion.
For me, the teacher really communicates effectively to her students because the
students are participative and responsive to the teacher.
Our cooperating teacher asked her students, in a short story that they have
read,” Who is the character in the story? And where did that happen?” The
students quickly respond to the questions, and they answer it quickly. I can
conclude that the students are actively responding to the teacher and really
developed their thinking skills.
