Teaching young minds is a risk however it is full of excitement and joy. Your patience must be the center of everything, because not all young learners can have your attention and can please you. It is all about how you will handle with their different moods and attitudes.

Having our presentation in the Maranatha Christian Academy was one of my unforgettable experience in my college days. We are so blessed because they are not just an ordinary but one of the well-known school in the Cebu City and yet they let us explore their school. They gave us freedom on how to engage in the real world situation in teaching. They let us show our talents with their learners. Even though that there are many obstacles in having our presentation they still showed a positive moods towards us.

One of the activity that gave me a big challenged was that when we were making a munchkin, the child that I handled was crying and I myself felt tensed because her parents was there and watching us. I felt nervous because the child can’t stop crying and don’t want to finished her activity through by that I asked myself if I am not worth to handle the young children or maybe I need to be more flexible. This experienced helped me to motivate myself to be more an effective and   I realized that as a teacher you should control your emotions and be flexible in handling children.  It was a tiring yet the most fruitful days of my experienced because I ripe many learnings and memories that need to be cherished.

• 

• 

• 

Before they start their discussion Teacher Labus let her pupils to sing their graduation song.

• 

Their topic at that time was “Bullying”. She gives an examples of the different bullying through pictures. As i observed some pupils can already distinguish the different kinds of bullying and they can participate the discussion.I realized that dealing young minds is a risk you must thing first your word or examples that you will give to your learners, because what they may hear or see might they believe that it is true. You are their teacher so they expecting a lot from you.

After the discussion Teacher Labus gives an activity which is coloring. She give an activity where her pupils saw the different pictures of bullying.

So exactly 7:15 I decided to go inside in the room. So teacher Labus shows her smiles which can help me to eliminate my fears and I feel welcome to her room.

So since it was raining many pupils was not able to go to school early. What I loved most in the Carreta is that they have their everyday free milk so before they start their class they form a line and go to the milk station. They start in their class with the singing of National Anthem, prayers and do some energizers. Their energizers at that time was counting numbers with matching dance it was good because the pupils can energize as well as they can learn to count too. So their topic at that time was  “Mga Kinahanglan sa Tanum” which are the land, water, air and sun. The teachers used the MTB. She discussed it well with her pupils can able to participate during her discussion.

Last February 12 2018 was the 1^st day of our field study in Carreta Elementary School. It was a slightly nervous because another new environment that we need to adjust and embrace. The teachers welcomes us with their friendly gestures. The guidance teacher assigned us where we are going to observe and we were 3 in one room. Mary Angel Pingkian and Mary Jean Algusar was my partner in one room so we were assigned in the kindergarten section wisdom and the teacher was Ms. Hemariz Mae Labus. Teacher Labus welcomes in a nice way she is very sweet teacher. She is freshly hired in the DepEd she said to us that she is not an ECE graduate but the Deped assigned her in the preschool and she embrace the challenge. It was her first time handling young learners and I myself amaze her because even if she don’t have experience she can able to handle her young learners and I observe that she did her best in teaching her pupils. Her room was not in complete materials because she start from nothing any things that inside in her room was came from her and she’s the one who fund it and we are very amazed of that. Before they start their class they have their feeding which is drinking milk and it was good. They started their class at exactly 7:30 in the morning with the singing of the National Anthem and next was the prayer and do some energizers.
