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 the course of the observation, I noticed a shift in the kids' responsiveness. 

I feel a mix of emotions as the week draws to an end, but I also feel like I accomplished something because I know that I'm having an impact on my students' educational journeys. They seemed to enjoy studying in my class, which made me very happy. Since they still have a long way to go, I hope they don't give up when things get difficult. I'll see you next week!

Week 3

 Week three is now underway. I just know that I will be teaching 2AM; I have not yet received a specific timetable or timeline for teaching in class. I was given a lot of substitute lessons to teach this week in place of absent teachers. According to what I've observed, the evening session school will experience a teacher shortage every day, requiring me to fill in for them for up to three hours each time.        I am aware of my mentor. I went over to her and asked her about the subjects she had taught and the class she was teaching. It might provide a more seamless lecture for my class. Since I was given a lot of relief classes, I took a lot of classes from year one to year three. Meeting with all teachers,for camping and other activities. There are many students at this school; on average, there are eight classes, each with more than thirty students. It might take me some time to remember them all since, to be honest, I can't remember all of their names.       All in all, th

 I was happy to learn at the beginning of the week that I had received my own schedule for my teaching duties. It was my responsibility to instruct classes 2AM and 1AM. . I took some time to get to know each student's name and background so that I could communicate with them individually.  After deciding on my students and setting up my timetable, I started working on lesson plans. Acknowledging that an organized approach was important for proficient instruction, I seek advice from my mentor. Their opinions and expertise were very helpful to me as I improved my strategy and tailored my classes to each student's unique needs. Apart from devising lesson plans, I focused on creating instructional resources that would enhance my students' engagement and participation in the learning process. To help students learn and retain the information better, I used interactive materials, visual aids, and props. My adventure was made even more exciting and challenging by the English and p

 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
