Dear blog,
I have gone through two
phases of practicums and now I am about to finish my third phase of practicum
session. My first practicum was at SK Raja Di Hilir Ekram while my second
practicum was at SK Tanah Hitam, Ipoh. My third practicum school is at SK Tun
Dr Ismail, which is located in Padang Rengas. Teaching experience differs every
time I enter the class. I have gained many experiences especially in teaching
and learning of English language. The time that was spent with the pupils was
more than inspiring but truly wonderful.
My cooperative teachers did more than enlighten me on the important
roles of becoming a good English language teacher; they opened up a whole new
perspective on the many rewards and experiences that teaching children can have
on me and how I can affect them during some of the most important years of
their lives.
Reminisce the memory of teaching and producing...
This 'Read Me' box is for the collections of pupils' work
such as books, journals, scrapbooks and the like.
I paste it in front of the class to ease the pupils and teacher to have a look.
Although I got the chance
to teach pupils of year 2 again for my third practicum, the feelings and
experiences are different. I did not expect to gain as much experiences or
inspiration in this teaching field during the practicum periods. During the practicum periods, I was able to
see how the pupils respond towards me as a teacher. With 35 pupils to 21 pupils
in the class, I was able to spend more quality time with each and every one of
them, and getting to know each of their unique personalities.
'The Party Boy' is a simple story book I made to encourage pupils to write and produce creative art work. Learning to write a story book and instill awareness of loving arts and literature..
See how committed they are with their works
and thru such activity, they learn to work as a group..
During the practicum sessions,
and some other hours of active involvement with the primary school pupils, I
had the chance spending teaching other classes during the relief hours. The
pupils were more than eager to learn and cooperative as well. Throughout the
lessons that I have been teaching for the past practicums, I feel very much
happy as I learn so many things especially to experiment with all the
techniques and approaches in teaching. My cooperative teacher enjoyed my lesson
as well and provided me with more than enough positive feedbacks.
The most memorable part of
this teaching experience was my language arts classes. I was surprised by how
well the lessons went and again, I had a great bunch of pupils who did a great
job, listened well, and commented on how much fun they had in the end. I feel that
it is important that pupils not only learn through fun activities, but they
managed to understand the language inputs that were being taught. It is also
important that we set our goals as teachers to get students physically active
and the more ways we find to make physical activities motivating and fun, the
greater chance we have at reaching that goal.
This course practicum did what it is supposed to do, by providing me
with a great positive learning experience and chance to see how rewarding a
students’ achievement and happiness can do for me as a future educator.

Well it depends
on which day in the week, since I’m doing part time job as a teacher at the
tuition centre, my schedule is kinda full every Mondays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. I like going for a jog every evening at the park. I enjoy seeing
people of Slim River doing their fitness routine there. It gives me the feeling
of I am part of the community. I seldom going to the gym, coz its kinda
expensive. LOL.
