Narrative Report

My off-campus teaching started last January 25, 2014. I was assigned in Grade-VI Robinhood,
Elementary School Laboratory, Bukidnon State University. My supervising Instructor was Mr. Albert
Villanca. During my first week of my off-campus I had an observation to my pupils, I had also started my
demonstration. In my first week in Grade-VI Robinhood there are things that I have found out especially
to the behavior of my pupils, My pupils in VI-Robinhood were need to be guided always, they are the
kind of pupils that are hard-headed, A student teacher like me must have a very good commanding
influence so that the pupils will obey and pay attention. My first week experience in Grade-VI
Robinhood was more on adjusting and knowing the behavior of pupils.

After my first week experience in Grade-VI Robinhood I have already adjust with the behavior of my
pupils. I have also realize that being a grade VI teacher is very challenging because your pupils already
know what is right and wrong so every mistake that you made is always corrected by them and as a
teacher it is a shame on your part but the good thing there is it will gave you learning and it will make
you to be more careful the next time. In each week I have five demonstrations so every day I made
different lesson plans for different subjects and in my part making lesson plan every day is very tiring but
as a teacher I have to do it because it is my responsibility. During my demonstrations I have always hold
my patience because my pupils were very noisy they do not listen, every time I reprimand them they
would just stop for a while and talked again with their seatmates. So as their teacher I always call those
names who are not paying attention. There are also times that I scold them when they are already
abusing my patience. Sometimes I just do not mind them as long as I finished my lesson though there is
no fulfillment in your part.

Feb 3-8, 2014 this was my second week. My pupils have their practice for the Makabayan Festival. My
co-st, is the one facilitating for their practice. Our supervising Instructor gave us different role for the
Makabayan Festival Event of our pupils. We student teachers work together to have a good output.
Though were busy preparing for our Makabayan Festival Event we did not forget that our focus is
teaching. So every day we student teachers do our responsibility, we made our lesson and our
instructional materials.

Feb 10-14 this was my third week stay in Grade VI Robinhood. In my third week I had realize that I
already love my pupils. They become my friends already though not all of them but many of them. Our
bonding of my co-st was already getting deeper. We share different jokes and experiences in life. We
also work together for the betterment of everyone though sometimes we have misunderstandings but it
is normal for a group. I had also appreciate the kindness of our Supervising Instructor. He is very
approachable and especially he is not strict to us his student teachers.

Feb 14, 2014 this is the day for the of event of Makabayan Festival. We student teachers come early to
school also with our pupils. The festival that is assigned to our section is Pentados Festival so we come
early to paint the body of our pupils. We student Teachers exerted efforts for us to come up a very good
body paint. It took us three hours to finish painting. We have painted 37 bodies. Though we are not an
artist but were able to come up a very good body paint. Many people from Elementay School Laboratory
appreciated the performance of our pupils though it was not perfect but they were able to give a
performance that is entertaining to the eyes of everybody. Our section was awarded as the most lively
performance and were given a price that is worth of one thousand pesos. We student teachers were
very happy and proud for our job that was been done successfully.

After our big event my job back to normal, five demonstrations in a week. But this is the week where I
am very pressured because I had two demonstrations in Filipino especially knowing that the SI of this
subject was very strict and perfectionist. During the first dropped of my lesson plan I’d already expect
that it will be return with many red marks and my expectation did not make me wrong my lesson plan
was returned having many red marks but I did not make a bad feeling about it because I already
understand the nature of the SI handling the subject. I rewrite my lesson plan and pass it again. During
my demonstration I was very nervous but I put it in mind that whatever happened I did my Job and gave
my best.

Feb 24-28 this was the week where I am busy making my test questions because I was assigned to make
the HEKASI exam. This was also the exam week of our pupils and this was also our last week of teaching.
We student teachers felt already a sense of relax because we don’t have demonstrations anymore but
we still have our job. We are the one who is conducting the test and the guide of our pupils.

March 10-14 this was our last week in Grade VI Robinhood. We student teachers were busy making our
requirements. Our pupils are already having their graduation practice. Since it was our last week we had
a class recognition and fairwell party. We prepared a short program inside our classroom. We gave
ribbons to those pupils who are having an award. after our program we have eaten our foods. During in
the evening we had our last post conference. Our SI talk to us and gave his last message to us his
student teachers.

My off-campus teaching gave me another teaching learning experience. I have learned to be patience at
the bottom of my heart. I have also learned to love the pupils who are very naugthy. My off-campus
teaching gave learning that I can bring to my future field of teaching. I can say that teaching is the
hardest job among of all jobs but the payment of this job is priceless.
