My practice teaching days were filled with so much Joy! The day I started to practice teaching at Supang National High School. Five sections in a day was a big challenge as a newcomer there. As I planned on my lesson log, I started the class by engaging the students about the previous materials that they had learned. I divided them into five groups and made them take a paper that contained different kinds of animals. After they got their animal representation, we played a game called Quiz Bee. The rule was, that whenever I (as the teacher) delivered the question, each group needed to sound their animal's sound in order to answer the question. The process of engaging like this made the students excited because they could express different sounds and build their competition to show their knowledge in front of their classmates. The main activity continued and I began to give them a paper containing a picture of  'The Smoker's body' to each group. After they got the paper,

Basically, the lesson plan that I found from my Cooperating Teacher in Guimaras is not that different compared to the plan that I learned in Indonesia. They have objectives,  content, resources, methods, procedures, and reflection. One part that I would like to highlight here is the procedure, the procedure in the Indo

My cooperating teacher there was Ma'am Phoemy Joy Galanza, she is a science Teacher in Grade 9. She handled five classes in a day from Monday to Friday. The first class that I started to observe was the 9-Gold Class, the advisory class of my Cooperating Teacher. Before she started the class, she gave me the lesson plan for the week. She started the class with greetings, praying, and checking on the students' attendance.  The current topic that was delivered for that day was about the part of the human heart, the circulatory system. She was telling the students about parts of the heart and its function. After that, she evaluated the students by providing them a picture of a heart without the names of the parts (blank), and the students needed to name it correctly.  Not only that, but she

 A. Supang National High School The school started as Buenavista National High School Extension with only 5 teachers but last 2007, through the effort of their municipal mayor it became Supang National High School. Located in Supang, Buenavista, Guimaras, Philippines. Now, it has more than a thousand students divided from grade seven to grade twelve. Me and the kids playing badminton in Supang NHS Supang National High School got full academic support from the Department of Education-Guimaras and the local government unit. They provide technical assistance per school. It is a team of supervisors who are in charge of giving assistance and monitoring of the school. The teacher told me that at first, they were struggling during the implementation of Kto12 (The curriculum there), because before they only had four years in high school, but pieces of training and seminars helped them become more equipped to embrace the Kto12 system up to now. They do have the curriculum guide for each learnin
