Celebration Days

DAY 10 - 12
August, 22nd - 24th

This week actually I was supposed to start on my assisting task but since Mrs. Postrano only gave the students quizzes 3 days in a row, first 2 days were quizzes about poetic devices and on Friday is a pre test since they began the next lesson that is Greek Mythology.

Those three days I sat in the back continuing my observation and started working on my lesson plan for the next week because it is my turn to teach and she gave me Literary Types to study since it is the lesson I’m gonna teach.

On Thursday, they celebrated the Mass to the Holy Spirits from 7.15 a.m to 9.20 a.m. Mrs. Postrano said the school has the celebration every beginning of Academic Year in August which also will be continued on August, 31st along with the celebration Buwan ng Wika, the celebration of Tagalog culture.

In the Mass to the Holy Spirits celebration, there were some students who brought foods and money and they gave it to the priest to be then given to the community who are in need like victims of landslide and fire.





After the priest did the sermon, some students did performance and which took the first two periods. So whenever they have the Mass of Holy Spirits, they will only have 6 periods instead of 8 and it depends on how long the priest did the sermon usually it ends at 9.40 then they have recess.
DAY 13 - 21
Aug 25th - September 2nd

On the third week I did some assisting jobs like grading the students quiz because my mentor wanted me to do something and also I started to help out students in the classroom instead of sitting in the back just like what I usually did.

This week’s lesson is about Greek Mythology and Greek Deities. So far the textbook had not been used and this lesson based on the novel Greek Mythology and materials from the presentation, so basically their main source of study is the teacher’s explanation from the presentation. They have to take notes because based on those notes they will be given test and quiz.








There was no school on Monday due to the national hero day. And this week was filled with some preparations for Buwan ng Wika which would be held on Friday. The last period on Thursday, Aug 30th was used for the last preparation. They had to decorate their classrooms and hallway and I also did some help at 10BMHS.





On Friday, there was no class since it’s Buwan ng Wika, the celebration of Tagalog culture. All the students and teacher had to wear their traditional customs. Grade 10 had the celebration in Rudolf Rahmann Cultural Center since they are the highest grade. They had some games like filling the Tagalog song lyrics, chained message and so on. They also performed dance and singing. Then, they had a feast in their own classrooms. They put a big table in front of each class in the hallway and ate together. It was a very fun experience and I enjoyed every second that I spent with them laughing, talking, eating and just getting to know each other.

 DAY 26 - 28

September 7th – 9th
          
  On Friday there was no class because of the cultural day and the mass of Holy Spirits. In the morning then we all went to the cultural centre. There the students performed dances and songs and all classes had to participate so there were soooo many performances and mostly dance from all levels.


Doing a presentation about Indonesian culture
On the next day we were invited to the cultural day for the college students only. We did the presentation about Indonesia then there were also a student from South Korea and the local students who did the presentation abut their cultures. Then after that we tried many local foods that we had not come across before that. It was very interesting to learn other cultures and so far this experience had taught me a lot of things about to live in a different culture and how to place your self in it. that day was the last day of our practicum period and the next day we left to Indonesia. This place hold so many memories and i will always remember this school, city and the people wherever i am. Thank you for everything. <3 XOXO

Lots of things were meant to happen in our lives and those things happen for us to learn from them, to grow from them, and to shape us for who we are in the next days. I feel so blessed and grateful to be given the opportunity to join this program that so far has taught me nothing but being grateful for everything that life has thrown us into. There are many things in this world that can help us open our sights more to see the world from different perspectives and to have those perspectives is to experience as many as possible. This program had helped me to cross a line from by bucket list that is to fly abroad, to experience another culture. From the very first day I had been there I always told my self to embrace everything that might happen because we couldn’t foresee when we our self didn’t even know how it really worked out there and to this day I didn’t regret a thing but to stay longer there. The practicum program has some purposes such as to introduce the student tea

She is the English teacher for grade ten.  Grade ten is divided into 8 sections which five of them are handled by Mrs. Postrano and the rest is handled by Ms. Hazel Enad. The period of each meeting for English subject is 60 minutes. Each class has English subject every day. It means that Mrs. Postrano has to teach in the classroom 5 hours per day and 25 hours per week which is a lot in my opinion and so busy. Each class that she has consists of around 40 students. For the first da
