Tuesday, August 28th, 2018 was the day to start being a teaching assistant. Yesterday was our time to refresh our mind before we encountered our busy day to be teaching assistant and teaching. And today we should back to routine with status as student teacher and our important thing was to teach.
My friend and I went to school at 8 am to be teacher assistant and apperently this morning, my local student teacher friend, Melanie’s time to practice teaching in grade 10. She was going to explain about contemporary issues topic. My friend who also SEA-Teacher student and I just observed Melanie’s class when she had teaching practice.
After that, at 9 to 10 am, we observed Ma’am Carpio’s class especially in grade 9 about Araling Panglipunan (Social Studies) with economics topic. After this class ended, this time was my time to be teaching assistant. I would be teaching assistant at 11 o’clock in grade 8. Finally, the students came into the class and they chose their chair to sit down. When I saw them, I didn’t know why, but I felt very happy. Maybe because they were still cute. Hahaha
When all of students had a chair, Ma’am Carpio let me to check the student attendance and when my friend and I introduced ourselves and we told them if we came from Indonesia, suddenly the students said “Selamat pagi” (Good Morning) and then, they showed their warm smile. Aaaaaa, they were very cute and good in Bahasa. Ohh myy they had warm greeting to us and they touched my heart.
When I called their names, this was my challeng. It was so hard to pronounce their name maybe because I was not get used to their names but I loved them. After we finished our attendance checking activity, Ma’am Carpio let us to have a sit behind the class.
Actually, I would like to be part of Ma’am Carpio class but I couldn’t because Ma’am Carpio used tagalog to expalin the material. So, I couldn’t understand what Ma’am Carpio was saying in front of the class.
After we finished our observation and teaching assistance day, I had the other agenda with my friend, beauty. We should met the principal of PSU Integrated School-High School Departement. That's because we had some assigment from our university in Indonesia to observed all about the school.
And we went to the principal with our buddies, there are Lyra, Joy and Allan (beauty's buddy). They helped us to got some of the information we needed.
After our activities ended, we decided to went to the canteen to get some drinks.
