Gabay sa Magulang/Tagapag-alaga
Ang modyul na ito ay tumutukoy sa pagpapahalaga ng inyong mag-aaral sa
kanyang kaligtasan. Kahit siya ay bata pa, nararapat lamang na alam niya kung
paano bibigyan ng proteksyon ang kanyang sarili sa anumang pagkakataon.
Tinatalakay sa mga gawain kung anu-ano ang mga bagay na dapat niyang
gawin upang maging ligtas kung siya ay nasa loob ng paaralan, labas ng tahanan,
o kahit nasa loob mismo ng inyong bahay. Maaaring may mga pagkakataong
humingi ng tulong ang inyong mag-aaral sa pagsunod sa mga tagubilin at pagsagot
sa mga tanong sa bawat bahagi ng mga gawain. Hinihiling ng kagawaran ang
inyong suporta at pakikiisa upang matagumpay niyang maisakatuparan ang bawat
bahagi tulad ng mga sumusunod:
Ang mga gawaing nakapaloob dito ay maaaring gawin ng inyong mag-aaral sa loob
ng dalawang linggo.
Nangangailangan ng panulat at papel sa bawat bahagi ng modyul na ito
upang masagutan ang mga gawain at katanungan sa “Processing Questions.”
Ngunit kung ang paaralan ay makapagbibigay ng worksheet, doon na niya sa
worksheet mismo isusulat ang anumang ipinapagawa.
Gabayan siya sa pagpili ng “Road Map” na gagamitin sa unang gawain.
Isaalang-alang ang lugar kung saan kayo naninirahan.
Tiyaking sasagutin niya ang bawat bahagi nang tapat. Ang modyul na ito ay
may limang gawain at tatlong set ng “Processing Questions.”
Pagsama-samahin sa isang folder na may “fastener” ang mga gawaing
isinulat niya sa papel. Ito ang magsisilbi niyang portfolio sa kanyang “Homeroom
Guidance Activities.”
Siguraduhing maipapasa niya ang kanyang portfolio sa petsang itinakda ng
kanyang gurong-tagapayo.
