the students to easily understand the topic. We need to be resourceful and creative in giving
instructional materials because it will really help them to understand the topic.
2. What are the values of audio-visual aids? Name three. How can aids like TV, movies or
computers assist the teacher? Justify your answer.

V. MATERIALS
When they were able to respond or answer my questions. I have observed the creativity
of their answers. Through the construction of their answers I can assess that they
really achieve the specific learning outcomes.
If I will be given the chance to do it again, I would enhance all the resources that I used
especially the visual aids. I should make it more creative since I found out that it has a
big impact in catching the students’ attention. I want to put more effort in making my
visual aids and other resources. I should use an instructional materials that will suit to
the needs of the learners
At first I can say that I lacked management skills especially in establishing an authority
in class but when my cooperating teacher advised me to set rules before starting the
class so that my classroom management will be effective I think was able to provide
their needs and improved my classroom management skills.
In terms of activity, I must establish a rule to have a disciplined students to have a good
flow of activity.
At first I can say that I lacked management skills especially in establishing an authority

During future planning and delivery I would like to improve and focus on the content of the
lesson, the relevance on it in our daily doings, because learners easily understand if they

the medium of communication.

objectives of the lesson?
2. What difficulties have you encountered in planning your lesson plan with regards to the
availability of instructional material resources?
The difficulties that I have encountered in planning lesson plan with regards to the

to be more efficient and effective to the learners when I teach to them, second is how to be
consistent in making instructional materials, the creativity of doing it. Lastly, if I may able to
manage so that my materials will be useless.
3. What have you done to address this problem? (refer to question #2)
My aid of this problem is that to think well and I put the situation that I am in the class
teaching using these resources, and imagine what would be the impact to the learners. I am
the one who will evaluate it first, and then if I am not confident of it I will refer it to other
person to judge what would the negative or positive impact to the learners and then asking
for suggestion to him
DAILY JOURNALS
DAY 1
It’s day 1 of our FS 4 and our task was to observed our assigned CT. We were assigned in Grade
5 Leo under the advisory of Sir Leo Atamosa. Our CT was very approachable and very kind. I
observed that he is a goal-directed person. He constructs useful representations of knowledge to
acquire the thinking and learning strategies for his students to learn. He was very particular with the
behavior of his students, he sets rule in order to have an organized classroom and to control also
the behavior of the students. During his discussions his students really listened carefully, he has a
trait that motivates the students to generate and pursue personally relevant goals which is very
applicable for them because it helps them to reach longer-term goals. He was able to use different
approaches to teach his students effectively. He always tell his students to know what is the right
thing to do and to be open minded and to focused on reaching a specific objective. He keeps the
discussion interactive and entertaining. He used traditional and modern equipment or materials
according to the required expected learning from the students. He didn’t just ask questions,
sometimes he gives suggestions or methods of acquiring the desired result from the students’
learning.
DAY 2
It was the day of our first actual teaching, I felt a little bit nervous at that time since it was my first
time to have an actual teaching. The implementation of my first actual teaching introduced me the
challenges of the real world of teaching profession and showed me the essence and importance of
teaching. I have realized that dealing students in a friendly manner increased maximum
participation. In a teaching-learning situation the non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning in
a natural or traditional set up of teaching. I have realized also that it is very important that the
teacher knows the behavior of the students and motivates them and give them an equal attention.
My first actual teaching together with my buddy was a bit of success but not really satisfactory
because there were some minor lapses that must be correct in the next demo teaching. Our
cooperating teacher told us that such things are expected because even them it still happens. There
are two major things that I need to improve to my next actual teaching, first is that I must improve
my communication skills and second is the instructional materials we need to be more creative with
the instructional materials. We needed to provide a colorful and creative instructional materials for
the learners. I am expecting to improve myself in handling the students the next time around since I
already know a bit the behavior of the students.
DAY 3
It was our second actual teaching, I was more confident since I am more prepared together with my
buddy. My mistakes during my first actual teaching help me a lot to evaluate the things I should
improve. The strategies that we applied during our second actual teaching was an activity that every
pupil felt enjoyed the discussions and at the same time they learned a lot from it. The first thing that
we did was assessing our students if they still remember about the last topic that we discussed. I
felt happy because they were able to answer our assessment.
DAY 4
On the fourth day of field study it is the last part and the last moment with my co-pre-service
teacher. She continues actual demonstration to teach the students and to continue again the topic.
My cooperating teacher Mr.Leo Atamosa he observed again to my actual demonstration. My co-pre-
service teacher she is first to teach lessons their students then follow me as team teaching as we
observed it’s very challenging and fun if your partner is really good in teaching she is cooperate to
me and help me if I have a problem about my teaching. During my demonstration I will group my
students into a row to perform their task activity or oral participation in the front of their classmates’
observed to my students some of them who did not read carefully and clearly. My strategy is
repeating the reading on the board and tells their students read everybody in louder his/her voice.
The cooperation of the students made me amazed. They hands their arms up and even they are
noisy a little bit but it was all about conversations of the topic. I have observed the grade five class I
was observing that there individual differences capabilities in general. There are students who have
the potential to be great, active learners. In their lessons proper, I can say that teachers’ daily
routine is good at least by reviewing their past lesson. The students remember what they had
tackled in previous meeting before going to the next topic. I observed also that the teacher is good
in handling to his students and managing the class. One thing got my attention and even curiosity
was the smooth relationship of the students towards their teacher. They have a harmonious
interaction. The students were not afraid or got nervous with their teacher which usually happens
Mr. Leo Atamosa was a humorous person despite he is single person. He makes his students
laughed of his jokes sometimes he is serious. He knows his students very well. Grade-V students of
Montevista Central Elementary school have a harmonious relationship with their teacher Mr. Leo
Atamosa maybe because they treat their teacher as if it was their brother or father.I had learned
success of individual should not be measured by what is differentiation is important so that each
child can work at his own level so they opportunity to progress whatever level work at.
DAY 5
This day is the last day of our team teaching.We are so excited for our demonstration that day.As
we arrived at Montivesta Central Elementary School exactly 12:30 o'clock then we logbook the
attendance immediatly and go to our assigned room. We greeted our CT and students. Then we
said to our CT that ma'am by this time we will having our last team teaching class for the students.
