It was my first time to observe at Angeles
Elementary School (AES). That is why I am not that familiar to their school
system. But, through this observation, it helps me to familiarize not all but
at least there is some.
One of my observation in the school is that teachers
are really dedicated to teach. Also they don’t just focus in teaching the
content, they also let students to experience. For example, the teachers let
their students to work in the garden, to plant some vegetables and etc. Which I
think is good because they can learn there and they can use their experience if
they want to put up their own garden at home. I also observed that because of
the past weather conditions, AES set a makeup class every Saturday to learn the
lessons they haven’t discussed because of the weather.
When there are activities or program, they don’t let
students who are far away from school to watch for their safety. They let
students to watch who were just walking distance from the school.
There is one student from the students I observed
who they call “sit-in”. I asked my cooperating teacher why they call him “sit-in”,
and she said that because it’s his 2nd time now in grade 6. They
just teach him on how to properly read because he is having a hard time to read
fast and sometimes he exchange the pronunciation of some words.
This are just few from what I observe in this
school.
Experience is really the best teacher.
ReplyDeleteI trully believe that children learned more by experiencing it rather to talk about it or discussing it.
