Lucky were the students who had the opportunity to enjoy learning: with all the necessary support from stakeholders, a journey into learning was truly fun and meaningful.
With a healthy curriculum that addresses their authentic learning needs, life skills were taught through lessons/activities in and out of the classroom delivered by a conscientious and effective classroom teacher.
The support of the parents was provided and the maximum attention to their needs, such as books, technology, among others: the students had the opportunity to develop their expected competencies, showing their passion; therefore, making a huge impact on your learning.
I had always been concerned that every lesson, project or assignment was within the learning environment/experiences of my students. The following learning activities tell us all about how I translated the K-12 curriculum into authentic, relevant, and impactful learning:
Mini City Tour
Community familiarization :with the help of parents agile the children were able to see different places in San José del Monte, from the welcome marker to the city of SM, Nolasco market, San Pedro church, Gumaok East, Central and West Barangay offices, the generic pharmacy, the Grotto Vista Resort and St Joseph the Worker. Church to the Old Town Hall to the Sanctuary of the Grotto of Lourdes.
sculpted dioramas
To show their knowledge of their neighborhood, students had the opportunity to create a diorama representation of their health center, basketball court, daycare, sari-sari shop etc
big book writing
Write stories about their experiences, showing their writing style, from reflecting on the mini tour to other learning activities. My students wrote more than a hundred books. He asked them to share their written work with their classmates.
Tame Your Dragon Presentation Video
Giving them the opportunity to use technology to create ideas about how negative emotions can be managed, showing them the essence of social-emotional intelligence in action. I think by doing this they would have empathy and be well-adjusted human beings later in life.
Good deeds for the week
An activity sheet in which they wrote down the good deeds they had observed during the day. Not only did they have the opportunity to be aware of their behaviors when dealing with the people around them, but they were also able to develop their language skills, particularly in the use of grammar, let’s say the past tense of the verb: I listened carefully, spoke quietly, did not intimidate a seatmate, to mention just a few.
weekly celebration
The students were always ready to show off their dancing skills and singing prowess whenever we had a classroom program like Nutrition Month, Linggo ng Wikaetc
parade
Regular culminating activity where parents join in the fun and excitement by preparing costumes or props to make the celebration meaningful and memorable for the children.
resource person
During the celebration of Nutrition Month, we had invited a lactating mother to answer questions from the students about breastfeeding, proper care of the baby, among others.
playing cards
The Verb cards were part of the lesson where they had fun learning sight words in sentence, sentence… and paragraph. Few had difficulty building sentences, others with paragraphs.
urban gardening
Inculcate in their young minds the value of planting vegetables, caring for seeds or young plants, etc. we had gardening at home.
Bangkang Tsinelas
To instill the value of caring for our environment, in particular the importance of clean water flowing in waterways, students had bangkang tsinelas race in which they could see the state of their know and take the necessary actions within their capacity as small defenders of the environment.
Exhibit
As a way to show their love for their culture and that of others, they held a large exhibition of different provinces in Region 3 where the people, their culture, and their arts were highlighted.
Classroom-Based Quarterly Awards/Recognitions
Recognizing exemplary works, performances and all…selected students received ribbons and certificates; their always supportive parents were also recognized.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to all agile parents who, in one way or another, have supported their child’s learning journey, with me. Along with other great stakeholders, may you continue to be enthusiastically involved in your child’s education.
