Week 14

Image
 Finally, the last week of being a teacher. It was examination week, so not much happened the previous week! It has been an emotional and anxious week for both students and teachers, especially for Syahman and me as we are wrapping up our practicum at the same time. Every emotion—laughing, sad, and exhausted—was preserved as a memory. We are almost at the end of our time together, so we are enjoying our final moments with the students. In addition to gaining insight into the role of a teacher, we will express our gratitude to the students since they have been our greatest support system through to the very end of our tenure. I spent the last week observing a class that I instruct.  I informed them at the end of each paper that Wednesday would be my last day at the school. Along with the present, I received numerous letters from the student. During my final class on Wednesday, I advised all of my students to stay safe and to make a commitment to me to continue learning English because i

 Week 13 is marked as "Nilam" week, during which students are expected to complete additional readings in order to complete their nilam book and earn points for the overall content. It is also used to assess students who read more than those who don't. I urge the student I worked with in class to complete the assignment that was assigned that week. I gave them writing prompts for their nilam books during my lesson, asking them to write about books they enjoy, whether they are fiction or comic books. Apart from that, the students were instructed to participate in the "no smoking" poster competition for their second year of physical education, and I helped my class create the best poster so they could win the entire program. Some of the works truly amazed me and exceeded my expectations. In addition, I asked them to ask their elder siblings and parents for assistance. I selected the top student in my class to be the winner from their class. I was asked to review t

Week 12

Week 12 is 'Pendidikan Jasmani' week, meaning that all students and teachers are required to participate in sports. The lesson was completed prior to the break.They are asked to play a game of handball and netball after stuffing their faces with food and beverages. Regarding the teacher, we are required to play the renowned volleyball game as a team of six. It was the eagerly anticipated annual event at the school. We all enjoy the game as much as the students do, and I was thrilled to play with them. The lesson was straightforward and easy to understand, and because it was a sport, the students were exposed to a more laid-back atmosphere throughout the week. It will do it as for week 12 from here. 

Week 11

 This week, I made another observation, this time about my superiors. Before the lesson began, my mentor and the supervisors had a meeting. I couldn't help but notice that not everything that was said about our attitude during the conference was entirely accurate. It was a helpful reminder that misconceptions do happen and that reality frequently deviates from our expectations. On the other hand, my observation went smoothly. At first, I was worried because the students were particularly agitated and disruptive. I worried that this would obstruct the observation. However, I was committed to managing the class effectively, and I'm glad to report that I was successful. I was pleased with my performance and my grades when I left the observation. I'd like to express my gratitude to my supervisor for her support and encouragement. As a student-teacher, their feedback and criticism have been extremely helpful, and I value their dedication to helping me improve as a teacher.   Thi

 For week 10, , we also received "SUKANEKA" and "SUKAN TAHUNAN". Excitement was in the air this week as our school got ready for Thursday's "Sukaneka" event. I was thrilled to see how much excitement and energy it would bring to our school because it's usually a fantastic and colorful event. As the week went on, we started organizing for "Sukaneka." Although I was in charge of setting up the equipment, it was encouraging to see how all of the students worked together to make the event a success. The students were buzzing with excitement, especially the younger ones from the first, second, and third grades who will be taking part in the games. "Sukaneka" happened early on Thursday and was a whole enjoyable! Seeing the younger students participate with such enthusiasm warmed my heart. We started getting ready for the "Sukan Tahunan" ceremony on Sunday morning as the week was coming to an end. Due to space constraints on

Week 9

 There was a lot of nervousness and excitement this week. During "Majlis Pelancaran Bulan Pendidikan Jasmani," which takes place on the first day of the week, I couldn't help but be entertained by the creative tricks that the instructors and students came up with. It gave our routine a fresh perspective. This week was significant for yet another reason, too. This week in my teaching practicum was jam-packed with challenges and opportunities for introspection. One of the main things that happened on Wednesday was my mentor's observation of me. For me, the observation was crucial, but I wasn't sure if it went well or not.My first observation came from my mentor. I thought I had given it my all because I had put a lot of effort into preparing my lecture. However, I couldn't help but feel let down when I got my grades and remarks. It was a humble experience that made me realize that there's always room for improvement and growth on the part of teachers. Over t

 Greetings, eighth week! There were a lot of fascinating things going on this week. Everything began when Milo came to visit and taught our students a valuable lesson about recycling. Seeing such initiatives spread to the younger generation is wonderful. Since I learned a lot too, I'm sure they did as well. The week's high point was definitely Hari Sukan Negara, which united everyone in the spirit of sports and camaraderie. It was good to see instructors and students taking part in volleyball and sukaneka. I enjoy how strongly a feeling of community and unity is fostered by moments such as these. It doesn't seem like there are any major obstacles in the way of my socialization with other teachers. I finally introduced a new topic to the students this week in my English lesson, and I focused on teaching them the proper usage of the words "can" and "can't." It was a crucial language lesson, and initially, a few of the children seemed confused. Neverthe
