learning of the students going to school? What are your conclusions?
The school campus and the classroom has a big impact into the students
learning let’s just say for example if the classroom is so hot the students
cannot focused into the lesson of the teacher. That is why it is very important
to consider the learning environment of the students.

How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescence

development/How does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
A child can it learn if the environment is too hot, the school has a lot of tress in
the campus and has five ceiling fan into the classroom the students are really
focusing to the lesson and they participate actively.

REFLECT

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed?
Why? Why not?
Yes, I would like teach in NDMU IBED because the students are following the
rules and regulations just like there are not allowed to use their cellphones I
don't see any student who is using cellphone, every recess and lunch time
they are not to stay inside of the classroom and they follow it also. Aside from
that the school, has it's own computer in every classroom and a WiFi
connection that is why is it hassle free to the side of the teachers it won’t also
consume time.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
The school has a prayer room for Catholics and a designated place for the
Islam and Non Catholics. Though it is a catholic school they also value other
religions or sects. There is also a designated place for the parents and the
yaya’s of the students.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
There is an exchanged of ideas between the teachers and the students all
those who are raising their hands, the teacher lets them speak and when a
student could not understand the instructions the teachers repeat it until the
students can understand it.
4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?
I could accomplish this by having a long patience into my students especially
if I will be teaching elementary students. I will be hands on into my students
enable for them to understand the lessons and instructions properly. I will
used different techniques and strategies that I have observed and learn during
the classroom observation.
5. Write your additional learnings and insights here.
If the students is disciple from kindergarten and from the first day of school
they will bring it for the rest. Because I have observed that the students are
not using their cellphones. I also learned to use music enable for the students
to easily learn and memorize the books of the Bible.

ANALYZE

What do you think was the purpose of the board display?

- The purpose of the board display is to encourage the students to visit and to
read books in the library. Enable for them to learn and to grow their minds.

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience?
Why or Why not?
- Yes, because it has a different colors of butterfly designs that can attract
students, since they like colorful designs.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Why not?
- Yes it is simple and clear because they only used basic english. It was
understandable for the target audience.

Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?

- Yes it is effective because it is on the corridor stairs where the students are
always passing by. The library is in the life side when you go up and right side
if you go down stairs.

What suggestions can you make?

- To minimize the butterfly designs because the message cannot be seen
clearly. To change the some of the colors especially when it is a message
because the background is already dark and the font color of the message is
also dark, so therefore the message isn't clear.

with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
 Creativity- it is important that the teacher is creative when it comes to the
board display so that it can help to attract students attention and read
what is being written in the board display.

won't be costly.
 Grammar skill— it is important that the grammars are all correct when a
teacher has a grammar skills so that it won't confuse the students.
 Critical thinking- a teacher should have critical thinking skills enable for
him/her to evaluate the board display that he/she is going to post.

is not just all about the board display, a teacher has a lesson to prepare
that is why time management in making a board display is important.

take on how you can improve on or acquire this skills.
