Ang Pagdapo ng AGILA

Kapag ang kabataan ay inaaruga at hinuhubog sa kapaligirang maituturing niyang isang

pamilya, malaki ang posibilidad na siya ay maging matagumpay bilang isang matalino at
mabuting mamamayan. Ito ay batay sa mga pananaliksik mula sa mga bansang Europa at Asya.
Naging batayan ang mga katagang ito kung bakit inilunsad ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon
Rehiyon XI ang Project EAGLE-Elimination of Academic Gaps of Learners.
Maituturing na mapalad ang Paaralang Elementarya ng Rizal dahil isa ito sa 22 paaralang
napili ng Rehiyon na maging kaakibat sa pagpapalaganap ng Project EAGLE. Ang Rizal ES ang
kinatawan ng Sangay ng Lungsod ng Panabo sa kategorya ng mga paaralang may malaking
bilang ng populasyon ng mga mag-aaral ,samantala ang Paaralang Elementarya ng Littlte Panay
naman para sa may kakaunting bilang ng populasyon ng mga mag-aaral.
Noong Hunyo 7, 2017 ay nagkaroon ng oryentasyon ang mga punongguro at guro ng mga
paaralang magpapalaganap ng Project EAGLE sa Dep Ed Regional Office XI.Kabilang sa mga
lumahok sina Ramelyn Antalan, Punongguro at Ana Marie Quimpes, guro ng Rizal.
Ipinagbigay alam sa pagpupulong ang mga layunin ng proyekto at ang pamamaraan ng
pagtuturo na tinatawag na Looping na kung saan ang guro ng mga mag aaral sa Kindergarten ay
siya ring magiging guro nila sa una hanggang sa ikatlong baitang.

Bilang palatandaan na ang Paaralang Elementarya ng Rizal ay magpapalaganap ng Project

EAGLE, pagpasok mo pa lamang sa paaralan ay makikita mo na ang itinayong istruktura ng
ibong Agila. Tinaniman ito ng iba’t ibang mga berdeng halaman. Nagpapahiwatig ito na
nakadapo na ang Agila sa paaralan.

Nagsimula na sa paghahanda ang mga Rizalians. Ayon kay Gng. Ana Marie Quimpes,
“Ipinatawag ko ang lahat ng mga magulang ng aking mga mag-aaral para sa isang orientation. Sa
tulong ni Ma’am Antalan ang aming principal hiningi namin ang pahintulot ng mga magulang
para sa isasagawang Project EAGLE.” Ang silid aralan ng mga mag aaral ni Gng. Quimpes ay
pinagkalooban ng lahat ng mga kakailanganin para sa proyekto sa tulong at suporta ng
punongguro na si Gng. Antalan.

Buong puso rin ang suporta ng mga magulang para sa mga kabataan. Lahat ng
kakailanganin ng kanilang mga anak ay agad nilang ibinibigay. Tumulong rin sila sa paghahanda
sa silid aralan ng mga bata.

Ipinabatid din ni Ana Marie ang kanyang mga pananaw at adhikain bilang guro na sasabak sa
Project EAGLE. Aniya, “ I am really convinced that the stated objectives of the Project EAGLE
will be effectively achieved. As a teacher, I know how important it is for the parents, the school
and the learners to work as a team and as a family”.
Lahat kaming mga guro ng Paaralang Elementarya ng Rizal sa pamumuno ng aming
punongguro at kaagapay ang suporta ng aming Tagapamanihalang Pansangay at ng mga
Education Program Supervisors ay nagkakaisa at nasa likod ng proyektong ito at handang
umalalay sa unang paglipad ng AGILA.
 The EAGLE has landed
“When learners from K to 3 have quality teaching and learning engagement, they will have
greater success in the subsequent levels of education ,”
Thus, the birth of Region XI’s Project EAGLE ((Elimination of Academic Gaps of
Learners in the Elementary) and Rizal Elementary School is one of the 22 schools privileged to
be part of making history in the field of education.
Project EAGLE is an intervention to increase learning outcomes of the learner in all
learning areas by allowing them to meet high expectations, content and performance standards
and to be able to achieve the diverse challenges of the 21st Century Skills.
With these in mind, Rizal ES is up for the challenge and is already making preparations
for the implementation of the project.
Preparing the Nest: Orientation of the identified pre-school teacher, Ana Marie
Quimpes, and the parents of the 45 pupils immediately started as early as June 2017.
In the physical aspect, the school and the parents altogether created and designed the
classroom befitting for the project. The parents also held a ‘bayanihan’ during Saturdays for the
clearing and landscaping of the lawn area.
Finally, a concrete sculpture of an eagle was constructed at the entrance of the school.
Another significant landmark that signifies the school’s full support of the project.
The Eaglets: The pupils, after learning that they have become the pioneers of the project
expressed their excitement. Their teacher, during her free time with her pupils said that most of
her pupils were delighted and excited because they are going to be with their beloved teacher
until Grade 3. They were smiling brightly as they babbled about how excited they are according
to her.
The parents were also positive of the idea because they will no longer undergo the
difficulty of looking for a suitable teacher when their children go to the next grade level.
They also said that their children will not make so much emotional adjustments and enjoy
the company of the same teacher for three years.
The wind beneath their wings: Aside from the full support of the parents and the pupils,
another key for the success of the implementation of the project is the teacher from whom the
pupils will rely and depend on for the first three years.
Teacher Ana Marie’s positive outlook ensures the best implementation of the project.
 She says that the idea of working with one teacher for a long period will help children
enjoy a family-like learning environment . This clearly supports the smooth transition from home
to Early Childhood Education, prodding them to perform better and become better adults in the
near future.
“But the success of this project is not on the teacher alone as I cannot do it solely. But
with the help and support of the administration and my fellow teachers, together with the
unending support of the parents, Project EAGLE will hopefully be a success.
Indeed, with the strong teaching force of Rizal Elementary School headed by the
principal plus the support of the Panabo City Division, the EAGLE is ready to spread its wings,
take flight and soar high.
 PUGAD NG AGILA
Silid-aralan ng Project Eagle handa na sa paglulunsad

Ni: MARIA LINA RUBY J. MAAMBONG

Master Teacher II-Rizal ES

Matapos ang mahigit dalawang buwan malaki na ang ipinagbago ng silid-aralan ng mga
mag-aaral na nagpapalaganap ng Project Eagle. Ang dating isang silid ay nagmistulang tahanan
ng 45 na mga munting mag-aaral kasama ang kanilang guro na si Anna Marie Quimpes.

Ang struktura sa loob ng silid ay nababatay sa karaniwang silid-aralan ng mga

kindergarten. Mayroon itong Play area na sadyang nilikha upang malinang ang Gross-Motor
skills ng mga bata. Nakalatag sa isang sulok ang mga rubber mats na tinatawag na Circle Time
area kung saan matatagpuan ang iba’t ibang babasahin. Ito rin ang nagsisilbing Reading Area
para sa ang mga mag-aaral upang maengganyo sila na magbasa at maging Independent Readers.
Dalawang wooden lockers ang ipinagkaoob para sa mga kindergarten na sadyang ipinagawa
upang kanilang gamitin

na paglalagyan ng mga personal na kagamitan. Isang paraan ito upang matuto silang magligpit
ng sariling gamit at malinang ang kanilang Self –Help Skills.

Iba’t ibang kagamitang panturo o instructional materials naman ang ginawa ng guro sa
tulong at suportang pinansyal ng Punongguro na si Ramelyn Antalan. Ang mga kagamitang ito
ay mga manipulative na magagamit ng mga bata sa kanilang hands-on activities.

Upang malaman ng mga bata pati na rin ng kanilang mga magulang ang lahat ng mga
school activities at iba pang updates tungkol sa Project Eagle ikinabit ang bagong classroom
bulletin. Dito inilalagay ng guro ang lahat ng mga kaganapan na may kaugnay sa proyekto.

Makikita rin sa labas at paligid ng silid-aralan ang malaking pagbabago. Itinayo sa harapan
ng silid ang signage ng Project Eagle na napapalibutan ng mga berdeng tanim. Nakalandscape na
rin ang paligid nito bilang tanda na handa na sa paglulunsad ng proyekto.

Samantala hindi rin nagpapahuli ang mga mag-aaral sa paglahok sa iba’t ibang pagdiriwang
ng paaralan katulad ng Buwan ng Nutrition, Carreer Month at Buwan ng wika.

Noong nakaraang Sabado Setyembre 2, 2017 dumalo sa isang pagtitipon sa NEAP Rehiyon
XI sina Quimpes at Antalan. Ginanap sa pagpupulong ang orientation sa iba’t ibang gawain
kaugnay sa Project Eagle katulad ng:

Maping na gagawin tuwing Sabado

Parental envolvement-na isinasagawa ng mga magulang na gaganap bilang guro at mag
sasagawa ng pagkukwento sa mga bata
 Pagkakaroon ng Family Day

“Ang mga gawaing ito ay pagsisikapan kong gampanan sa tulong ng mga magulang, mga
kapwa ko guro at higit sa lahat ng punongguro na si Madam Antalan na walang sawang
sumusuporta sa lahat ng mga proyekto ng paaralan”, wika ng guro na si Anna Marie
Quimpes bilang pagwawakas sa aming panayam.

Ang lahat ng ito ay palatandaan lamang na ang Agila kasama ang kanyang mga inakay
ay nasa loob na ng kanyang pugad at handang lumipad sa ibabaw ng ulap.

School, parents fortify eagle’s nest

Teacher II-Rizal ES
 Two months since the EAGLE’s gracious landing in Rizal Elementary School, Adviser
Ana Marie Quimpes and her 45 pupils (morning and afternoon shift) had been very busy
preparing their “nest”.
The school and the parents have put their efforts in structuring the EAGLE’s classroom.
Paying more attention to the learning domains in Kindergarten, the adviser carefully thought out
the learning areas that would help develop the learner’s gross-motor skills, self-help skills and
reading skills development:
EAGLEs Reading Corner (Circle Time Area)- Kids easily develop their love for reading
if they are provided an avenue to do so. Thus, the teacher provides them with varied reading
materials plus phonics and musical toys which they can explore comfortably using the rubber
mats.
EAGLEs Playpen (Play Area)- Children learn better if they engage actively in the
learning process and the teacher has provided a space in the classroom where the learners can
actively participate through games, group activity etc. By providing them a play area, the motor
skills of the learners also developed.
EAGLEs Wooden Locker- To further develop the Eaglets sense of responsibility and
independence, the school provided two (2) wooden lockers for the safekeeping of their valuables
and other classroom related materials. Their self-help skills are then developed because they
attend to their things personally by independently arranging and storing them to their assigned
lockers.
On the other hand, the children already are enjoying the Manipulative learning materials
that were partially provided by the school. Ramelyn F. Antalan, the school principal has allotted
funds for the procurement of the said instructional materials.
Parents also get updated of their children’s development in various domains through the
Bulletin Board that was also newly installed. Announcements, conferences and other PROJECT
EAGLE related updates were also posted.
Activities from which the Eaglets actively participated in like the Nutrition Month,
Career Day, Buwan ng Wika can also be seen on the information board.
FUTURE PLANS
On the latest orientation for the Project EAGLE attended by the principal and the adviser,
the following activities were to be conducted for the better implementation of the project:
- Student mapping (scheduled on Saturdays)
- Parent Take-over of Classes-a monthly activity where a parent teaches reading
and other skill/s
-Family Day
 Amidst the overlapping activities, the administration and the adviser did not falter to
make improvements in the physical structure of their classroom. The school wants to make sure
that everything is in order, well-documented and is in accordance with the guidelines of the
project. With that in mind, the landscaping and the signage fronting the classroom has already
been installed.
Teacher Ana Marie expressed her unending gratitude to the support of the Principal and
the parents. She said that all the support given boosts her morale thus propels her to continue and
do her best as the adviser of the kids.
The Eagle’s nest is now ready. Her nest is not just an ordinary classroom but it is THE
CLASSHOME of the EAGLETS where they can confidently grow in an environment that is
loving, nurturing and trusting.
