Day 19- FIELD STUDY 1

  Lahug Elementary School | December 2, 2025


Observing Excellence and Supporting Learning

December 2nd, 2025 in the classroom, and the morning began with our established 7 AM routine that the students had grown to love and expect. As the children settled into their day, I took on the important administrative task of checking attendance, marking who was present and ensuring we accounted for every student. This responsibility gave me a clear overview of our classroom community for the day and helped Teacher Jovelyn plan her instruction accordingly.

The heart of the day's learning centered around the letter "J," with Teacher Jove leading an engaging and dynamic lesson that truly captured the students' attention. From my observation point, I watched as the children eagerly participated in the games and activities designed to help them master this new letter. The energy in the room was palpable hands shot up enthusiastically, voices called out answers, and faces lit up with understanding. Witnessing Teacher Jovelyn's skillful facilitation reminded me of the artistry involved in teaching young learners, as she seamlessly blended instruction with play to create an environment where learning felt like joy rather than work.

My hands-on contributions came in the form of organizing and sorting alphabet cards back into their proper order, a task that may seem simple but is essential for keeping our learning materials ready and accessible. More meaningfully, I had the opportunity to guide individual students through their personal activities, offering one-on-one support where needed and celebrating small victories along the way. These moments of personalized attention helping a child sound out a letter, encouraging them through a challenging task, or simply being a supportive presence highlighted how every role in the classroom, whether leading or supporting, contributes to each student's growth and success.

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...
