Field Study 1 - Observation and Participation

  Lahug Elementary School | September 30, 2025 Today’s observation at Lahug Elementary School gave me another close look at how young learners respond to routine, structure, and engaging activities. Teacher Jonabell was my mentor for the day, and I appreciated how she set the tone of the class from the moment the children walked in. She started with a prayer, which helped settle everyone. This was followed by the school hymn, and I noticed how the students sang proudly and with confidence. After that, she moved into their motivation songs. The children joined in right away, especially with familiar tunes like “What Is the Weather Today?” and the number songs. These simple activities already pulled the class together and got them warmed up for the day. Once everyone was fully focused, she let them sing the alphabet. It flowed naturally into their literacy lesson where they practiced reading one-syllable words. I liked how she guided them slowly, making sure the class stayed with her...

The activity not only reinforced counting skills but also developed their fine motor skills through cutting and pasting. Meanwhile, I was assigned to help decorate the classroom attendance chart .
