“A Memorable Week”

My Significant Experiences

Monday, 5^th February 2018 (Day 15)

          It was be my first time to teach math in Philippines especially in SLU Laboratory High School. I was nervous and I felt not so well because I still tired after city tour one day ago. I had some prepared to teach at this day. But suddenly earthquake came and then all class was suspended.

Tuesday, 6^th February 2018 (Day 16)

          In that day, I had two classes for teach about chords and arcs. First, I taught at 10E (Mapagkaisa) and Ma’am Ruby was observed me. There was any trouble because I used projector but the extension was not here. So Joanne Bolla as my buddy helped me to find it. Then when she has coming brought the extension, my laptop battery was getting low and I forgot brought my charger. It was very disordered for me. But at least, the lesson must go on. Then in the afternoon, I taught at 10F (Mapayapa) and Ma’am Bayao was accompanied me. After that, I had a discussed with Ma’am Bayao and she gave me some trick and suggestion to teach another class with the same topic better.

Wednesday, 7^th February 2018 (Day 17)

          In that day, I taught at 10F, 10E, and 10C about chords and arcs. I am ready with some suggestion from Ma’am Bayao based on my class yesterday. In all the class, I felt better than yesterday. The students more participate actively during the discussion. I was happy on that day.

Thursday, 8^th February 2018 (Day 18)

          I taught at 10 F (Mapayapa) again to continue my lesson on Tuesday. But in that thay, all the students more participate actively during the discussion also.

Friday, 9^th February 2018 (Day 19)

          In that day, I taught at 10C, 10A, and 10B. Remainder that I prepared my lesson plan included the material and some instrument to teach at the next week. I was stay at the attic in the school until evening.

Saturday, 10^th February 2018 (Day 20)

          I met Ma’am Ruby for pre and post conference. She gave me any suggestion to teach in the next time here in SLU.

Sunday, 11^th February 2018 (Day 21)

          We came together in front of Men’s dormitory at 03:00 AM. Our agenda today is tour to Ilocos. We leave Bagio early because Ilocos is far from Baguio. We need around 5 hours until we arrived there. We start our tour from the zoo then we went to vigan. The place was so nice and I was enjoyed my trip that day.

Problems Encountered

In the third week of this program, my internally problem was decrease. But I had another problem especially about class management. I felt that difficult to make participate actively in class. Almost the students in the class are very noisy. Since I have a soft voice so sometimes I must scream so that they can hear my voice and follow my instruction.

 Problems Hurdled

I learn a lot of things from my cooperating teacher, Ma’am Bayao. She is so helpful.  She told me any trick so that the students being more participate actively in class. I try to keep a good relationship with the students. Then, I share a lot of things to my buddy, Joanne Bolla. She is so helpful also. From her I know about an education system in Philippines and the habit of Filipinos during the lesson although just a little.
