Today My CT has an activity for her classes. So I just observe her and then assist her for giving instructions to other section.

My CT doesn’t always accompany me for each classes today. She said that I should have my own time to speak with students, just for feel free.

When I give her my lesson plan, she wants me to prepare it well. She gives me suggestion to use more visual aids for lessen the mistakes.
She gives me an example of her lesson plan. She made it weekly. But she says that I have to make it daily and make it detailed.

A weekly lesson plan, made by my cooperating teacher.

She also gives me a guidline for make the objectives.



And she said that I have to meet Ma’am Lomibau for discussing about my schedule for the final demo. Ma’am Lomibao is The Head Mathematics Teacher in Sta. Elena High School.

Ma'am Lomibao said that she wants to watch me tomorrow for checking my voice.

It means I have to prepare something for my class tomorrow.

At my vacant, I go to canteen with Ivy (she is my buddy also). This is my favorit. Kikiam. 10 pesos only.

Kikiam with sauce.

Amy and Erwin go first to Sta. Elena High School in the morning. I plan to go to Roosevelt directly from Nangka. But I don’t know how to get there. So I just go to Sta. Elena High School first by Jeepney and then go to Roosevelt together with Ami and Erwin. And also Ivy (our buddy) accompany us.

We plan to go to somewhere after the meeting finished. But until the time was 5 o’clock, the meeting it still running. We decided to get out because we already very hungry.

We just looking for the nearest restaurant here, and we found Mc. Donalds.

On the way we go home we try a street food. It is call Isaw. It is chicken intestine wrapped in flour.

Actually it is not a rest day. It is just a day without teaching. I am so tired to finish my lesson plan for final demo tonight.

We go to Roosevelt at the morning to meet The Principal. Because we haven't meet yet. 

After that Ma'am Dena bring us to take breakfast at Starbucks cafe.

Ami and I have class at 2 p.m. So we just wait in Roosevelt, and making our lesson plan.

And we did it. We arrive at Sta. Elena High School safely using Jeepney. It is a great experience. When I say “Bayad po. Dalawa. Sta. Elena High School” by myself. It is like I am a Filipino.

We are not going anywhere. Sunday is washing day.

On Saturday and Sunday we don’t go to school.

Ma’am Dena (Coordinator from RCI) always ask us to go to somewhere on Saturday. And today we go to UP (University of The Philippines). But unfortunately Ma’am Dena can’t go with us. Only Ma’am Dena’s husband drive us today. It takes one hour from Ateneovillage.

We take some photo at the Oblation.

Then we go to Ateneo de Manila University. Mr. Culaba works here as a lecturer. So we can get access to tour in campus. It is a big campus with many facilities that needed for students.

Some of facilities at Ateneo de Manila University.

Today is Damath Competition.

It is like a chess. But using the principle of operation on integers. The winner is the one who got the highest score. The winners in the previous round will be competed again to get the real winner.

She gives me some suggestion about the lesson plan.

Tomorrow I will start to teach about this topic. So this night I prepare for the activity for students.

I use the Mathematics book that my CT given to me. The book is written in English. Because English is the second language in Philippines. Students and teachers always using english during the learning and teaching process.
