Significant Experience(s)
Day 1: Deployment Monday!!
January 21, 2019 Monday
I have no idea if we are going to deploy to day
or what. On the morning session, I helped
shine to prepare her materials on her class
which is Grade 8-woolard. Also, I helped ate
meb on the link stuffs that Ma’am Marte asked
us to do. Then, surprisingly Ma’am torrio send
us a message that says “Be ready, Deployment
Manila at 1:30. So, we prepare ourselves
because Ma’am Marte says that bring our best
self. Finally, WE ARE DEPLOYED! Ma’am 
Myrna is the one we meet at the Values
Department, because the head of the Values is
not around. She also assigned us on our CT’s.
My schedule is morning, 6:30-1:00pm and my 
CT is Ma’am Myrna Gonzales but I didn’t meet
her today because she is already out by that
time, Then my classmates who are in
afternoon shift stays there until 7pm.
Day 2: Orientation day!
January 22, 2019 Tuesday
So early today, I need to reset my body clock.
 We attended the flag ceremony today, then I
met my CT which is Ma’am Gonzales and she
oriented me the whole day today.
Also, I have other CT, Her name is Kyla from
Sta. Isabel and she is taking up Religious
Education.
Date: January 21 - January 25, 2019
Learning(s)/Insight(s) Gained
 Finally, so grateful that we are deployed today! I
just always put in mind the tips that was gave by
the last year batch, tips from ITL, and tips from
my supervisor Ma’am Marte. First, respect the
people there, greet them “Good morning/Good
afternoon” even the Janitors and guards. Second,
don’t be late. We are also asked to attend the flag
ceremony every day, also we are asked to
monitor our first subject in the flag ceremony.
Third, don’t tolerate students when they are
saying green jokes or foul words.
So far, I didn’t meet my CT today, but I hope I
will learn a lot from her and also I hope that my
stay here in Araullo will be smooth and good.
We also met the afternoon shift teachers, One of
them is graduated from PNU, Psychology Major
which is Joanna’s CT. They also have Master
teacher’s there. The faculty is also clean and
organized.
 Met my CT today, She is almost 32 years in
Araullo, and 2 more years she will have her
retirement. Actually, Ma’am Myrna is very
accommodating and nice. First session, We get
to know each other like, Why did I took Values
Education. Actually, most of the teachers
always ask that to us. Even on the first day we
get there. Then, we talked about my
experiences in PNU and some of my family
background.

All the things I need to say, and to know was 
already discussed by Ma’am Gonzales.
Next, I will handle 12 sections of Grade 9.
Grade 9 has 4 topics on the module, Kyla (ST
from Sta. Isabel) should finish the 1st topic on
the module, then Me on the second and fourth,
That’s why she told me to start my teaching
on next week.

 Third, Lesson plan. Araullo lesson plan is not

too much different from ACES. Some of the
terms are different but the procedure is still
the same. But, What I notice is all of their
activities are based on the module. That’s why
I ask Ma’am Myrna if I can get or make my
own activity that getting it from the module.
And, she said YES. She told me that I can get or
adopt any activities than the module.

 I’m so lucky! Thank you Lord. Ma’am Myrna is

Day 3: GRADES, GRADES, GRADES  Back from my PT-01 I read a lot about
January 23, 2019 Wednesday
Observation and Encoding of grades today, I
also have my schedule. Let’s do these 12
sections!! Same as the 8-woolard from ITL,
Araullo students have hard times to pass their
requirements. Sadly, their performance tasks 
are only based on behavior and attendance,
one periodical test then their written is only
the notebooks. I get dizzy because their class
record is just a piece of one whole pad paper.
Next, on my observation same as well. VERY
DIFFERENT STUDENTS, DIFFERENT
ATTITUDE AND SOME OF THEM HAVE THE 
WORST BEHAVIOR. Some students are
shouting at the teacher, Some of them are
so nice, She told me that I only give you
requirements related to school and no more
other that. Also, I realized VOICE is very
important here. I observe 6 sections today and
no one of them listen to kyla, because her
voice is not as loud as those students.
classroom management, That’s why I think I
can really apply it to my PT-02. I have 12
sections, some of them are science section and
I also have the worst section. But, I will try my
very best to handle those attitudes.
Very confusing when it comes to encoding of
grades because their class record is from
scratch paper. Also, I was shocked to know
that their periodical test is open notes
because I heard “hindi naman naturo, kaya
open notes” The culture here is very different
from ITL.
Best of luck on how to handle these students,
also I need some different strategies on how
to handle them.

going to class for attendance then after that
they will cut, Some of them are punching each
other and etc. That’s why today, Ma’am
Gonzales butt in because Kyla has having a
hard time with her classroom management.
Day 4: First Teaching Experience
January 24, 2019 Thursday
Kyla is absent today, That’s why I will teach
those 5 sections. Actually, My CT told me that
the floor is mine, that’s why I change the
activity, I didn’t get the activity from the
module because I observe the students are not
doing it, also they find it boring.
In those 5 sections, I used the ppt slide of get
to know that values teacher, because I want to
build rappor to them. I also ask them to ask me
some questions but not too personal. But, in
one class they asked me “Ma’am may 
boyfriend kana” and I said that’s too personal
dear.  I also gave some rules at the class. I
need to give the rules, because I want to also
to build my authority.
Luckily, my classroom is clean because Ma’am
Gonzales also maintains it to be clean, It is also
not too hot than I expected. Also, We have
projector and electricity.
Day 5: Excuse Friday!
January 25, 2019 Friday
My task today is to finish the grades and I did
it because some of the students have this
“excuse kami ma’am” because they have a
practice for their foundation day. That’s why I
really focused on the grades. One down! I 
should submit my lesson plan on Monday and
also I need to present to ma’am the ACES
Manila
• Happy Thursday tho! At the very first time, I
didn’t feel any nervous while teaching them. I just
find it hard to have the classroom management in
one section because they are so noisy. But, I show
them that I will not tolerate them. Happy because
their noise is lessen than the other day, Also
happy because they call me “Ma’am” at the
hallway.
 I also feel thankful because Ma’am Gonzales
told me that I’m good at technology
integration! Yay, so flattered!  Thank you
ma’am marte.
For me, this is a good start! Tho, I didn’t meet
the other sections but I’m praying for a good
run here in Araullo.
 Also, we met the head today and have a short
meeting about the DO’s and DON’Ts, Also she
told that if we have problems don’t hesitate to
come to her. We also share our experiences
for this week. She is also nice and
accommodating. 
 Always be strict when it comes to
requirements, Ma’am said let’s give them until
Monday to pass the requirements and after
that those who will not pass, It’s their loss.
Because afterwards, the students will beg
when there is no grade in ESP at their cards.
It’s much easy to encode in higher section
because 2 or 4 are the students who did not
pass. But, in lower section their behavior is 75
