Week # 14
November 10-14, 2014
“Stressful but Rewarding”
My Accomplishment
This
week, I was able to execute 3 lesson plans. All in all I have a total of 6
lesson plans. I was also able to check journal notebooks of Grade 7-
Makatarungan, essay writing of Grade 8- Mapayapa, Grade 8-Makatarungan, Grade
8- Matapat and Grade 8- Matatag. Moreover, I recorded some of the scores of my
students that I already checked. Each day was very tiring but I enjoyed it!..
My Significant
Experiences
My
most significant experience during this week was on Wednesday morning. We went
to GD building specifically at function hall to have our recollection. I was
motivated because our speaker was very inspiring. He discussed about crossroads
and lamp posts in life. Moreover, our speaker said this phrase that strikes me “Do
not let other people affect your happiness”. Yes, “Do not let other people
affect our happiness because we have our own freedom to do what is right and good
in our life.
In addition, we were tasked by our CT (Ma'am Tenaza) to make IM for Spelling Bee and Scrabble for our Lessons this week. Me and my fellow practicumer Elvie, did the IM even though we don't have enough money to buy the materials.

My Insights
Sometimes,
when faced with a lot of work, I always remember the words of Robert Louis
Stevenson, "Life is not a matter of having good cards, but of playing a
poor hand well." When I'm having a stressful day, I feel that my body also
weaken but, I have to deal with the paper works that need to be done. I’ll just
smile and sighJ.
I tried to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at
once.
Teaching
at the same time checking papers, making I’M is very stressful but, if you
finish your work on time, it’s rewarding!.
Problems
The
problem that I encountered during this week was dealing with a lot of paper
works. My cooperating teacher gave me a lot of papers to check during this week. I allotted
a time to check the papers of my students since I have a demo teaching and I still
need to accompany my Cooperating teacher and my fellow Practicumer (Elvie
Sumbad) to every class.
Moreover,
me and my fellow practicumer (Elvie), is complaining because we have a lot of
paper works to do and we also need time making our IM’s. We’re wondering why
our coopering teaching did not give to her obsevers since they are 6. We also
have to assist the cleaners in our advisory class before we go to Deckaesteker
Building for our class in Teaching Prof. Anyway,we just finished checking all
the papers and recorded it. It’s a BLESSING!!
Solutions
Though this week is stressful, I just deal with my problems with a smiling face. I and Elvie helped each other hand in hand to finish checking the papers of our students. We also informed our CT (Ma’am Tenaza) that we have class at 5:00-6:00pm at GD building. The smile and greetings of our students to us makes us motivated to finish our work during this week.

Goals
for Next Week
For
next week, I am planning to make a manipulative IM to maximize the participation
of my students. Also, I will be executing 2-3 lesson for next week.
"How we
perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you
focus on the negative in any situation, you can expect high stress levels.
However, if you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will
greatly diminish."
