Letters.
To explain further
the importance of the SONA to the students, last Friday, I asked them to write
a letter to President Pnoy. Some were lost about what to say, others were very
excited to ask for something, while others really didn’t care. The letters were
collected, sealed in a brown envelope, forwarded to someone who works close to
the president and hopefully will be read
by Pnoy.
As I study their letters, their handwritings, I know that I had a lot of work to do with them. From basic literacy, phonics, handwriting, following instructions and comprehension. A lot of work to do, so little time. I had asked a lot of veteran teachers, and my co-fellows regarding their best practices, but I feel like I am still not giving these kids enough remediation for them to be able to keep up and pass grade three.

I didn’t put any
caption on the pictures, coz I want to preserve each as it is, not make my
story out of them but let the pictures share their own stories. By the end of
the year, I wanna look back and see if there will be any improvement.
I honestly need
help to expedite their learning. I am in need of tips, books, references, ink,
papers, moral support, and a lot of prayers.
If you think you can help me in any way, do not hesitate to let me know. You can send me an
email, a message in facebook, twitter, even a prayer for me and these kids will be very much appreciated.
hahaha taragis na mga bata yan. ginawang Santa Claus si President? lol At mahal na new gadgets ang gusto. Pero ganito rin ako nung bata ako. So ya, naaalala ko yung sarili ko sa mga batang to. And yes, big hugs sa mga bata na alam ang kanilang sinulat.
ReplyDeleteWala ako mapapayo sayo ng matinong tips, books to teach kids how to write 101 o kung ano man dahil alam mo naman ako, ibibitin ko lang sila ng patiwarik. Pero I would recommend you to watch something. Recently kasi I watched something na k-drama about teaching kids. The title of it is Queen of Classroom and you can watch it here www.gooddrama.net
I know right.. pag bilog ang buwan, nagiging dementors sila!
DeleteAnything goes cy! I'll definitely watch this.. pero sa weekend na siguro kasi more bagal more sad ang internet ko dito sa bahay ko sa QC :/
natawa naman ako sa hiling nung ibang bata! haha gadgets kung gadgets ee,
ReplyDeletedu sa una saka ung iba pang nahingi ng job para sa parents nila nalungkot ako sobra! para sa mga bata na isipin nila yun
for sure namulat sila sa buhay na salat hays
hindi naman kasi sila lahat talaga mahirap. may kanya-kanya silang kwento... at halos kalahati sila mga informal settlers sa paligid ng commonwealth.
DeleteNakakatouch at nakakatawa ang mga kids na eto. Yong iba, dama mo talaga ang pagmamahal sa magulang at kahirapan, YOng iba naman ay mamahalin gadgets ang hiling.
ReplyDeleteWhy not involve PBO para mabigyan ng kaligayan ang mga bata kahit small things lang:) Gonna contribute with the project.
Anyway, thanks for being kindhearted.
Pagdating naman sa tamang pagsulat, mag enrol na rin ako as student sa yo:)
sobrang amazed po kasi sila sa mga gadgets ngaun. yung iba nga po, may cellphones na din na dala sa school...
Deletesobrang matutuwa po ang mga bata kapag nakapag share sa kanila, at mas masaya po kung hindi lang yung class ko ang ma reach ng PBO :)
galing din po ako ng public school, nakatira pa din ang mga magulang at kapatid ko sa isang lugar na nanganganib mademolish kaya dama ko po ang pinagdadaanan nila, mas malalim nga lang po ang kanila, dahil ang iba sa kanila, rejected, abused at kulang talaga sa atensyon ng mismong mga magulang. at iba pang mga issues na nasabi ko na naman po kay Usec Lino nung Friday night. Sana po talaga maraming maayos sa mga policies concerning public schools and education.
as for handwriting, naku mami joy, ako din po sa totoo lang nagaaral pa lang din magsulat ulit nang maayos... hihihi...

Hindi pala pumasok yung comment ko. Sabi ko kasi I have all of my teaching things at home so puwede kong share next time I am back. I asked if I can sit down in your class to see how the children work, this Monday perhaps.
