Happy Hours

My Accomplishments

I was so glad for having a good attendance this week. Though I sleep very late at night, I was able to wake up early for school. Also, my straight teaching for four days was successful because I got high ratings in my lesson plans and in my demonstrations. Being at the classrooms everyday helped me understand the nature of my classes. My sleepless nights are worth it for I was able to grow as a practice teacher.

My Significant Experience

Delivering the lesson on denotation and connotation was significant to me. I got only 3 hours of sleep because I had to plan my teaching very well using an inductive method. I had the idea of bringing guests in my classes so I made a dummy and named it Mr. and Mrs. Dummy. Bringing my guests in my classes and maximizing their uses made the students happier. It may be corny to be changing my voice for the dummy but it’s nothing for I have seen how interested and motivated my students were during the discussion and activities. My cooperating teacher also appreciated my strategy and he told me that he did not expect such kind of strategy in teaching the lesson. I was so grateful because I believe I was then an effective teacher.

My Insights

It was good to be considering the welfare of the students rather than mine. From my set of experience this week, I could definitely say that if the students grow then I as a teacher grows too. Moreover, I have this heavenly feeling every time I see my students enjoying their learning. It might be so good to hear but it’s true.

Problem

There was a time when I forgot the hand outs for my students and which would be used in the discussion. I almost fainted for I needed them first period in the morning.

Solution

I searched my flash drive in my bags then ran to the coop of the school. I printed the hand outs for my students even if I will lost an amount of money.

Goal for Next Week

I have to maintain a good attendance. Also, I have to make  good lesson plans for me to have successful demonstrations for my students to learn a lot.
