DAY 22- FIELD STUDY 1

A New Classroom, A World of Sounds

December 9th, 2025, marked Day 22 and brought an exciting shift in my teaching journey. After following our familiar morning routine, I transitioned to a different learning environment as part of our weekly rotation through all the kindergarten classrooms. This time, I found myself in Miss Rosalie's class, ready to observe a new teaching style and interact with a fresh group of eager young learners. The rotation system offers invaluable exposure to different classroom management approaches, teaching methodologies, and student dynamics each classroom its own unique ecosystem of learning.

The day's lesson focused on an engaging and practical topic: identifying different sounds in the environment. From my observation post, I watched as Miss Rosalie skillfully guided her students through an auditory exploration of the world around them. The children were remarkably engaged, their enthusiasm evident as they raised their hands eagerly to share what they heard and recognized. Whether it was the chirping of birds, the honking of cars, the ringing of bells, or the rustling of leaves, these young learners demonstrated impressive auditory discrimination skills. Their ability to correctly identify various environmental sounds revealed not just memorization, but genuine understanding and connection to their everyday experiences.

What struck me most during this observation was witnessing how effectively Miss Rosalie had cultivated both knowledge and confidence in her students. The children didn't hesitate to participate; they knew their answers and shared them proudly, showing that the learning had truly taken root. This experience of rotating through different classrooms reinforces an important lesson for any developing educator: there are countless ways to reach young minds, and each teacher brings their own strengths and approaches to the classroom. By observing Miss Rosalie's success with this sensory-focused lesson, I added another valuable tool to my growing understanding of effective early childhood education.

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...
