This week also was a Women’s month celebration so we have a parade. After the parade, there’s Zumba and a short program held, everyone participated. On the other day Ma’am Reina is not around, so I will be the one who will manage the pupils for this wholeday. I’m so nervous for this was my first time to handle kindergarten pupils. Despite of nervous I felt, I id my very best to manage well the pupils. I let them join the parade in order for them to experience that kind of activity. I can see on their faces that they we’re all excited to join the parade. My fisrt week here was really okay, I’m nervous at first but ma’am Reina is very kind and approachable so I’m happy. This week was our Second week of my internship and this Monday also was my first time to lead the flag raising ceremony. I’m a bit nervous while I’m in front but I managed to focused until it will be going to finish. So far, I have handled myself well. This second week here also my cooperating teacher assigned me a topic for my final demonstration. She has decided me to pick a date I prefer to have a final demo. I choose Thursday march 16, 2023. I prepare my IM’s and all the materials needed to make my demo get well. Thursday was my demo, so far it goes well. I’m thankful to God for giving me guidance in everything I do, I did my demo well even I’m a bit nervous along the demo. I make sure that my learners will learn my topic.

Pupils we’re all excited to receive such gift like this, I can see it in their eyes that they we’re really happy and excited. I’m happy for them also for the joy I saw in their faces, they are so cute. Handling kindergarten was enjoyable, you will not feel sleepy because most of them we’re jolly and willing to learn. Being a teacher of kindergarten pupils was lucky, they are so sweet and curious all the time. To be a good teacher specially in kindergarten pupils, you should have enough patience so can handle the pupils well and will be an effective educator to the children. This week also the principal conducted a meeting for all the teachers of Domorog Elementary School. This was our fourth week here in Domorog Elementary School and was our first month being an intern here in Domorog E/S. This week we celebrated Women’s month, we have a culminating activity in which everyone have a surprise number that will be growing to present during the program. It was a tiring day yet an enjoyable day. Everyone joined and enjoyed the culminating activity. On the other day ma’am principal call us a meeting for all interns, it’s all about our second month of shifting. Ma’am principal us to another grade level and for us to experience another grade level and for us to experience to work with another cooperating teacher. I’m a bit nervous for I will be going to adjust our new atmosphere but I manage to stay calm and be myself so I will not get stressed. Ma’am Baylon motivated us during the meeting, she told us to stay happy with the experiences we encountered. I appreciated the kindness of our principal, for she always making sure that we are all comfortable inside the school. She always ask if we are okay, and she always listen to our opinion. So we proceed to our next cooperating teacher and I felt so nervous. But I managed to handle myself upon meeting my new cooperating teacher and students. This was our fifth week as being an intern here in Domorog Elementary School. Maam Azaula, my new cooperating teacher told me to indtroduce myself again in her class. Honestly I still feel nervous even I already meet her pupils last week the first day of our shifting. So I did introduce myself. I just hope that I can bare with the different personalites of grade 4-A pupils. After introducing, I sat on the table where maam Azaula assigned to me. I’m at the back, I’m just observing the class for whole session. Upon observing, I noticed that they are not totally noisy and they listen to their adviser discussing in front. Their fist subject in the morning is math. They can easily understand especially in math, there were attentive during the discussion. Although they are shy but they still stand to answer if maam Azaula calls their name to answer, they participated. I’m still adjusting in the class of grade IV-A Venus this time. The pupils are sweet for they making a Thank you Card for Teacher Judy An, their student teacher before. This was our Sixth week after the Holyweek Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and another holiday was a long weekend for everyone. It was a 5 consecutive days no classes. After that long weekend was our sixth week of our internship here in Domorog Elementary School. I am still adjusting myseylf tho the pupils, so far I can say that grade IV pupils are intelligent for they can easily understand the lesson. This week also has a halfday classes, they suspend the class this April 11, 2023 because of the Tropical storm “Amang”.Students were adviced to go home immediately for their safety. Teachers dismissed the class for the safety of everyone. On April 12, 2023, the classes in Domorog Elementary School were immediately resumed. This day I handled the math subject, the first subject in the morning. I review to them about dividing whole numbers. I can see those students don’t know yet how to solve correctly the division. This day was the starting of their periodical test, so my cooperating teacher and I were start reviewing the pupils. This week was our Seventh week of our internship here in Domorog Elementary School. This week is their grading periodical test, Maam Azaula ask me a favor to review them before they will be going to take the exam. Actually last week they already started the periodical test and they already done the 2 subjects which is ESP and SCIENCE so today is the continuation of their exam. On the other day Maam Azaula was the one who review the students in MAPEH subject. I can say that she was very knowledgeable and fluent enough to discuss to the pupils about whats on the test paper. She really a good teacher indeed, I can say that maam Azaula is bright. Students was very attentive in listening the teacher. This week the only focused is the grading periodical test. Maam Azaula focused on the grading periodic, she make sure that this week, all the subjects will be took by the Grade IV-A Venus. This was our Eighth week of being an intern here in Domorog Elementary School. Yesterday was holiday so the classes was resumed today. Ma’am Azaula discussed about the graph and finding the area of a parallelogram. After the discussion Maam Azaula give them an activity that will be able them to participate. The classes run well till in the afternoon, I can say that pupils were attentive the whole class. They were so interested when they know new ideas about the lesson. There are times that they got easily distracted but its okay because they can easily go back listening to the teacher. This week they are focused on finding an area of an irregular figure. On the afternoon, I’m teaching the English subject I can say that pupils is willing to learn the lesson, they really pay attention everytime the teacher discussed about this lesson. Though there are times they easily distracted, but they will immediately back to their mind and then listen to the teacher. It’s a tiring week to manage pupils with different personality and different level of learning capability. This week was our Nineth week internship here in Domorog Elementary School. This week also were straight that I am teaching the English subject every afternoon in the class. I’m enjoying to teach them, to impart them my knowledge about this subject and I’m glad that Maam Azaula gave her trust to me to teach the English subject in her class. I discussed about the Reality and Fantasy. I read them the legend that is found on their English book. After they listen, I let them write the underlined sentences and I let them guess if it is a reality or a fantasy. After the discussion, I give them a short quiz. For the last week of our internship, I give snacks to my Grade 4-A pupils, biscuits and juices. I’m glad they are happy to the snacks I give to them and they say thank you.
