The day was started with a prayer during religion class. I prayed that I’ll be able to deliver the message or the content of my lesson to the students of Primary 2 today that I hope they’ll be able to manifest it with their lives.

 

My lesson for Character Building is The Dependable Child, it talks about young children being able to do things on their own and/or lesser helping from their parents. Through pictures and a poem printed in a meter length paper I was able to make specific points came out from the students like “a dependable child makes her parents happy,” “a dependable child does her works without being told to.” The students also were able to enumerate things a dependent child can do, like eating by yourself, helping in cleaning the house and many others. After the discussion I let them answer the activity on their book because it is required that they need to finish all activities written in there and that it will also serve as their review material.

At the end of the lesson, Ma’am Merry a teacher assistant of the class adviser immediately told me that I did  really good and even added that I’m much better than the others around over there. Somehow I felt relieved, so for verification, I personally asked the class adviser of points for improvement of my performance and just said that “you did very well.”

With all the years I spent studying at my University, it is now paying off. The sleepless night we have for creating and preparing thousands of instructional materials, the sleepless nights of writing more than seven pages of lesson plans in cursive, and the sleepless nights of preparing for a demo teaching. I can now see and feel the effect on me. So I thank you my professors who willingly spent time with us and checked and criticized our works page by page, telling us to redo and a lot of things. You have prepared us for the world we are to meet and dwell within and I’m very grateful for that. Thank you very much.
