I was introduced to my cooperating teacher; Mrs. Belen Diamante Misperos. She teach English in grade nine and grade ten. And I will have my practicum in grade ten only. She is very beautiful and generous. She has motherly touch and comfortness when I talked with her. She makes me feel like home. She accepted my weaknesses in English and assured me that I'm ready to be a good teacher.
On my first class observation, I sat at the back of classroom. I had learned that she liked clean and tidy room before starting the lesson. She checked the classroom floor and make sure all the students were ready to learn. Before the lesson begin, she lead the pray. She also did not forget to check the students attendance and showed her concern. Then the lesson begin as usual teaching and learning process. And for the closing of the lesson, the students also didn't forget to pray.
Another day of my observation, this time is different. The students wouldn't stay at the classroon for their lesson but they would go to the field. As maam Belen said that students will get easily bored with classroom activity only, especially with English subject. They need refreshments and new atmosphere.
The students had their practice for poetry in motion and song interpretation. They practiced eagerly and diligently beneath the acasia trees.
After the class over, mam Belen invited and treated me a meal in the Big John Cafe at the front of school. Spaghetti and fries with coke as beverages. We talked about how education system in Indonesia and Philippines. We shared our family stories and my experiences while live in different country. She helped me a lot adapting the situation in a catholic school and she gave me note book for my observation. Thank you very much mam Belen.
