DAY 10- FIELD STUDY 1

 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.

For numeracy, she used a hands-on activity where the children counted items in different pictures and placed each one under the correct number. It was a simple task, but you could really see how it helped them connect counting with objects they could see and handle. The kids were excited to move the pictures around, and it made the lesson feel more like play.

The afternoon class followed the same flow and lessons. Even though it was a repeat, the energy of the students made it feel just as lively as the morning session. Seeing how consistent routines help anchor young learners reminded me how important structure is in early childhood classrooms. Overall, it was a productive day of learning, observing, and understanding how teachers balance routine, engagement, and instruction.

DAY 25- FIELD STUDY 1

  A Day of Learning and Celebration: Preparing for the Christmas Party This day brought a welcomed change of pace a more relaxed and festive atmosphere as we began preparing for the upcoming Christmas party for the students. The morning started with the familiar routine of recalling previous lessons, ensuring that despite the excitement building around the celebration, the students remained grounded in their academic work. This balance between maintaining educational continuity and acknowledging the special occasions that bring joy to children's lives demonstrated an important aspect of teaching: the ability to honor both learning objectives and the moments that make childhood memorable. The recall session went smoothly, and I could sense the students' anticipation for the festivities to come, yet they remained engaged and participatory in reviewing what they had learned. After the morning class concluded, I experienced one of those spontaneous, heartwarming moments that make...

DAY 4- FIELD STUDY

SEPTEMBER 4, 2025  Today’s field study at Lahug Elementary School was a little different because only 12 students were present in the morning class, which ran from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM . Even with a smaller class size, the students showed eagerness to participate and learn. We started the day with another practice for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts . The children were lively and cooperative, showing that they truly enjoy the scouting activities. It was a good way to channel their energy before settling into the classroom lesson. For the academic part of the day, the teacher began with a recall of the previous lesson . Since some students couldn’t remember what was discussed about the letter T and the different modes of transportation , this review helped refresh their memory. Once again, we talked about: 🚗 Land Transportation: bus, truck, car, motorbike, bicycle ⛵ Water Transportation: ship, sailboat, cruise ship, submarine, small boat, canoe ✈️ Air Transportation...

Day 17- FIELD STUDY 1

  Lahug Elementary School | November 28, 2025 Today was different from our usual classroom work because there were no regular classes. Instead, we were asked to report to Lahug Elementary School to attend a seminar organized for the teachers. Even though it was meant for them, we were given the chance to sit in and observe, which felt like a valuable opportunity. The seminar gave me a better idea of what teachers deal with beyond classroom routines. I watched how they exchanged ideas, shared challenges, and discussed new approaches to improve their teaching. It was interesting to see them in a professional learning setting rather than in front of their students. It reminded me that teaching involves constant growth and collaboration, not just delivering lessons. Being included in the event helped me appreciate the bigger picture of the profession I’m preparing for. It showed me that learning doesn’t stop once you become a teacher. I left the seminar feeling inspired and more awar...
