Teacher’ s Creed
I cherish every child. I am a teacher.
I change the world, one student at a time.
Teacher’ s Philosophy of Education
The philosophy is that people must believe in something. According to John Dewey, education is by its nature an endless circle spiral. It is an activity, which includes science, because in its process, it raises problems to be studied which then reacts upon demanding more through, more science in an everlasting sequence. This definition of education makes it imperative to a person to have a philosophy of education and beliefs in the function of teaching. A teacher should believe in the intended processes and activities to produce desirable changes in the behavior of students. We must believe in the capacity to effect these changes, promote and facilitate these changes through the mastery of the subject matter and the use of appropriate methods and techniques of teaching. A teacher also functions as manipulator of teaching learning situations. As a manipulator, she believes in her ability to create a series of operations directed to change specific behavior. These are just the parts of a teacher’s educational philosophy. As a student teacher, she must believe in something that will eventually help her in setting the goal of her life. This will focus on the values and objectives of the new social order; the will help the teacher in analyzing and organizing her objectives; crystallizing the thoughts that will serve as a guide to prevent a teacher from getting lost their maze of her many-faceted chores. The school occupies premier place in the construction of the society, particularly in the matter of changing the attitudes toward community. The role of the teacher plays will be a crystallizer and an evaluator of the educational program under the democratic society.

Personal Reflection of Pre – Service
Teaching Actual Teaching Student Teaching is the actual Teaching and our major role and responsibility. During this period, we need to act like a professional teacher. After three months observations, we are now to apply all the knowledge and good things we got during our observation period. But before that, there is some orientations that were given to us on how to perform our duties and responsibilities’ as a student teacher. All teacher with concern especially our pre- service supervisor, Mrs. Mila Bailon, with our dean, Mrs. Cielo Tolosa, for us to be ready and capable enough to handle different kinds of student and apply all principles and methods that we have learned in our years of schooling. November 28, 2013, it is a pleasure to see once again the teachers and students of Naga National High School.
Together with my co-practice teachers, we are assigned by Dr. Celso Catorce in K+12 level for us to use this experiences in our future career. I was assigned in Grade 8 during my first shifting and in Grade 7 during second shifting. It was December 2, 2013, when I assigned to teach in II –Copper, Diamond, Emerald, and Frankenstein. During my first week of teaching, it was very hard for me to act like a real teacher, making lesson plans and visual aids at night. I felt tired during the first week of my teaching. I am always thinking what am I going to do on how can I execute my lesson well. But I was lucky enough to have a very approachable and supportive cooperating teacher because she was always willing to help and support me, share ideas and suggestions to the fullest. Another important part of teaching was on how to deal and building rapport with my students. During this period, I felt the joy as I was imparting knowledge to them and in return, they gave me support and respect. With this in my actual practice teaching, I realized being a teacher is very challenging and enjoyable although it is very difficult task but then, with the student who’s eager to learn, cooperative, funny and sweet as inspire the teacher to teach. This was the first time I realized and proves to myself what my teacher told us before that teaching is the most enjoyable and inspiring profession.

PROCEDURE
A. Learning Activities Teacher’s Activity
Student’s Activity
“Good Morning, Class…”
“Good Morning, Sir!”
“Let us pray first…”
(One student will lead the prayer)
(Checking of Attendance) …say present…
(Students raise their hand and say present as the teacher calls their name)
“Please pick up the pieces of paper under your chair.”
(Students pick up the pieces of paper)
“So, how was your New Year?”
“It was great, Sir!”
“That’s good! Have you enjoyed your Christmas and New Year bonding with your family?”
“Of course, Sir. It was a lot of fun!”
“That’s good to know. Well, what’s your New Year’s resolution, class?”
“Yes, Carlo.”
“Oh! What a nice New Year’s resolution, Noah! Now, let’s hear one answer from the boys.”
(One student raises her hand)
“Sir, my New Year’s resolution is to come to school early.”
(One of the boys raises his hand)
“Sir, I want to be focused more in my studies.” “Ok. Glenn”
“Wow! Thank you for sharing, Glenn. Maybe that’s enough. Let’s move on to our new lesson. For this afternoon, our discussion will be in relation to our feelings or emotions. Are you familiar with the song entitled The Greatest Love of All?”
“Yes, Sir!”
“Okay, that’s good. So, are you ready to sing and have fun today?” “Yes.”
Motivation Warm Up
Let us sing The Greatest Love of All. (Students sing) “I believe the children our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they posses inside Give them a sense of pride To make it easier Let the children’s laughter Reminders us how we used to be…”
“Okay, class. Now, what can you say about the “Sir, eventhough the song is very song? What does the writer believe in?” short; I guess it’s full of emotions.”
“How could you say so, Carl?”
“That was a very good explanation, Carl. You know what class, the song simply tells us that we should always consider for us to keep our family or relationship with others intact, sometimes showing affection or love towards a person, makes him feel that he is appreciated and there will be feeling of belongingness and love especially to young ones. And also as what have Carl said, the writer believes that
“Because Sir I noticed that the song has a lot to do with our love for children or mother to her daughter, father to his son. It has something to do with our love for our family, that’s the greatest love of all. The writer believes in what Dr. Jose Rizal said, “The youth is the hope of the Fatherland.”
you, the younger generations, are the hope of our Fatherland. So, class, I want you to finish your study to accomplish the challenge that have given by our national hero.”
“Everybody had just sung very well. Give yourselves a big hand.
B. Lesson Proper Presentation of the Lesson “Class, as a review, what is a sentence?”
“You’re right, Cyril. Our lesson for today is all about the different kinds of sentences. I have here four sentences and I need four volunteers to read these with emotions or feelings and tell us if what kind of sentences are they” 1. The boy goes to school. 2. Why are you crying?
“Sir, a sentence is a word or group of words that has a complete meaning. It starts with a capital letter.”
(Post the activity in the board)
3. Kindly give me a piece of bread. 4. Gosh, this is beautiful!
(Christina) (Kimberly) (Ryan) (Jennifer)
Discussion
“Class, these are sentences, right? But sentences are classified according to its use. Christina, why you answered declarative sentence for sentence no.1?”
“Yes, you have a point. For sentence no.2, is it really an interrogative sentence?”
“Sir, one thing I remembered if a sentence is in declarative form when it ends with a period.”
“Yes, Sir! An interrogative sentence is a question and ends in a question mark.”
“Exactly. I think class, you made an advanced research about our lesson for today and I really like it. Good job, class. Okay. Who answered sentence no.3?”
(Ryan raises his hand) “Sir, sentence no.3 is a command sentence.”
“A command sentence? Yes, it expresses the concept of command or request but it is not a command sentence. We will find it out later. Next, who answered no.4?”
“Sir, sentence no.4 is an exclamatory sentence because it ends with an exclamation point.”
“Yes, you are right, Jennifer.”
“Sentences are classified according to their uses. They have four kinds or types. And the first kind of a sentence is what we call declarative sentence.”
“A declarative sentence tells something about a person, thing, place or event. Take note, it usually ends with a period. Also, it makes a statement.”
(Post the related visual aids in the board)
For example, 1. My mother bakes cookies. 2. Taal Volcano shows signs of activity.

“Who could me a declarative sentence based from the song The Greatest Love of All?”
“Yes, that’s right. Is it clear, class? Let’s proceed to the second type of a sentence which is the interrogative sentence. What is an interrogative sentence? Please read, Christille.”
“Yes. Interrogative sentences ask a question. Usually they are Wh – questions or Yes – No questions. Remember our lesson last year?”
“I believe the children our future.”
“An interrogative sentence asks questions. It ends in question mark.
“Yes, Sir.”
For example, 1. Is your classmate absent? 2. Why are you happy? “Based from the song, give me a line that asks a question.”
(Read)
“What should we show to our children?”
“Okay. The third type of a sentence is the imperative sentence. This issues a command or expresses a request. There are two kinds of imperative sentence; the request and command. Request uses the words please or kindly while Command is like giving order.” For example, 1. Please pass your paper. (Request) 2. Do your homework now.
