Come June, this will be my classroom. It is a far cry from the classrooms I have had in private schools. Am I dejected? I must admit, yes. However, I am taking everything as a challenge. I am determined to house the next future leaders of our country. It is only possible if I could turn it into a more conducive for learning classroom. 

Readers, Friends, if you believe you can be of any help please do not hesitate to contact me.

Pay It Forward

Today is the last day of Brigada Eswela. I must admit cleaning my own classroom was something I was not prepared to do. However, I thought it was fun. It reminded me of my grade school and high school years where students clean their own classroom every day. This time though is a different story; I am no longer the student but the teacher and the manager of the classroom. I realized my former teachers’ hardship in painstakingly decorating and maintaining the classroom and yet at the end of the day she would be surprised to see it in complete havoc.

If this entry would reach my former teachers, I would like to say “thank you”. Maintaining our classrooms to make it conducive for learning was a mean feat. If of their perseverance in keeping our classroom favorable to us I must say I would not be where I am right now. Thus, I am more challenged in turning my classroom into a classroom that will be beneficial to my students’ learning.

Induction of New DepEd Teachers

Today marks an important event in my life as a public school teacher. 

My fellow teachers and I went to Guimba National High School to participate in the induction of new teachers. It was a whole day affair. The speakers acquainted us of the climate in public school. They discussed major issues concerning DepEd and how teachers like us can make a difference in our own small ways. Well, the things they told us were not really new to me; I am product of public schools. However, I believe the program proved to be helpful in setting our expectations early on. We have to be well-equipped as we face a new challenge in our lives. 

So help me, God...
