“Take a DEEP breath!.. hold it!. .and Let the Stress out”

My Accomplishments

I was able to complete 1 rated demo which made my current over-all total of my rated lesson plans 9. I was also able to facilitated 5 sections in making their logo. On Friday, I processed the Official Business (OB) forms of the fourth year students in the Principal’s office.

My Significant Experiences

I absolutely say that my most significant experience this week was when me and my fellow practicumer (Elvie), facilitated the 5 sections in logo making. It was difficult for us to facilitate the 5 sections because of our shoes having high hills; we were standing until the end of the period to facilitate our students work.

          In addition, On Friday, we were tasked by our CT to process the Official Business (OB) forms of fourth year students in the Principal’s office. As we process the OB forms, we did not expect that the processing of OB forms was very difficult and very demanding. Yes, I said difficult and demanding because we must look for the Principal, Assistant Principal, and the Coordinator of English teachers to sign the OB form. We were so tired to go to the senior high building and return to the junior high building (10 times).

The processing of the OB form was supposed to be on Thursday but my CT did not process it.

My Insights

When you are stressed, you feel overwhelmed and you may not be capable of thinking as clearly as you should. If you feel yourself jumping from task to task, take a deep breath, hold it, and let that stress out. You can accomplish everything if you take one thing at a time

Problems

The problem that I encountered during this week was when we facilitated in G8-MApayapa, our advisory class. There’s this student who transferred a seat, she is supposed to be seated in front but she kept on standing and transferring seat.  When we instruct that student to go back to her proper seat, she answers back “K FINE!”. We were so insulted and disrespected as if we were not her teacher.

Moreover, me and my fellow practicumer Elvie, is somewhat complaining because my CT is always giving us a task to do. We all check the papers of 5sections and record it as well. Yes, we are complaining because our CT has 6 observers and it’s unfair in our part that we are always the ones to check. We also need time to do our lesson plan, IM and to practice our lesson for the day’s lesson.

Solution

As a teacher, we have the right to discipline our students’. But, sometimes students are hard headed to abide their teachers so they tend to disrespect them.

I was hurt when that student of G8-Mapayapa answers us back. What we did was to tell her to my CT. My CT told her that she must also respect us not because we are only a practice teacher but we are also their teacher.

Goals for Next Week

My goal for next week is to be able to complete the required number of rated lesson plans which is 10 in Private school.
