someone listens to you.

reflection
 As I observe the class of Grade III-Aries this only proved that they are very well
disciplined and fast learners. I also noticed that they are very much interested to
learn, they pursue very hard not just to understand but to comprehend the topic.
Also realized that the teachers strategies and prepared learning activities will
greatly contribute to the pupils learning. The teacher should also think for new
ideas in order to make the class alive and to keep the pupils interest in the class.
Just like what Mrs. Halili did, she think of a fun learning activity that not just only will
test the learners understanding but also something that the pupils will enjoyed.
Journal
in all subject areas the pupils respond very well. When there are activities such as
recitations, most of the pupils respond actively and share their insights and own
view about the topic, the pupils are also open to ask some questions and they are
not afraid or shy to tell about their queries. And when it comes to seat works and
board works, I can really notice the focus of the pupils to answer the questions
provided for them.

All of the teachers I interviewed focus on assessing the pupils through the product,
because according to them, it is what matters most and every student has different
learning style to study the lesson, whats important is that all of them should see the
outcome of their learning and this way the learning will take place easily.

Of course it has. As we know our parents are our first teachers that are why if they
taught us very well we will be able to cope up to the outside world we will be
dealing with. Because if we are not taught properly at home we will not be able to
understand the essence of everything.
