Creative Minds of Grade 9


 My second demonstration day was with Grade 9 students, and honestly I was still very nervous even though it was already my second demo teaching.

That day, I taught about formulating predictions based on viewed material. Before entering the classroom, I kept thinking about many things because Ma’am Leslie and Sir Jay Son were observing my teaching again.

At the beginning of the lesson, I was still nervous and a little tense. But after starting the discussion with the students, I slowly became calmer and more comfortable while teaching.

The Grade 9 students were calm but still energetic at the same time. They were not too noisy, but they actively answered questions, participated in discussions, and paid attention during the lesson.

When I explained the material, the students listened really well and paid attention to the explanations. They also responded when I asked questions, so the discussion felt smooth and interactive.

During the abstraction part, I showed them a video related to the lesson. The students looked really excited while watching it. Some of them laughed at certain parts of the video, while others reacted loudly and discussed it with their friends. The classroom atmosphere became more lively because everyone was focused on the video.

For the activity, I divided the class into five groups and used collaborative assessment.

I gave each group a worksheet and asked them to make predictions based on the viewed material. After discussing with their group members, they had to present their predictions in front of the class.

The fun part was seeing how different every group’s answers were. Some predictions were serious, some were funny, and some were very unexpected. Honestly, some of their ideas were so creative that I did not even think about them before.

During the presentations, the students explained their ideas confidently and gave different reasons to support their predictions. Because every group had different answers, the activity became more interesting and interactive.

A Place Far From Home, Yet Full of Home

This student teacher exchange program became one of the most meaningful experiences in my journey as a future educator. At first, I thought it would only teach me about classroom management and teaching strategies, but it gave me something much deeper than that. It taught me how to adapt, connect with people, and grow outside of my comfort zone. One of the things I will always remember is the kindness of the people I met throughout the program. From Ma’am Leslie and Sir Clem, who became like my second parents, to our mentors, cooperating teachers, buddies, guards, and even Tatay Edi who safely brought us everywhere, we were surrounded by people who made us feel welcomed and cared for. Being far from home became easier because of them. This experience also made me appreciate my family even more. Even from a distance, their love and support stayed with me every day and became one of my biggest motivations to keep doing my best. My message to future student teachers is to never be afraid ...

Notes from a Girl in Transit

Being transit is so strange. I'm not fully in one place, and not yet in another. I'm just in the middle, carrying memories from where i came from and hopes for where I'm going. Sometimes I feel like being the daughter who has to excel at everything also means becoming the distant daughter… and the absent sister. Like in order to grow, I have to leave. And in order to achieve, I have to miss moments I can never get back. It’s a quiet kind of sacrifice that no one really talks about. But Mama always reminds me of something. She tells me to live fully. To give fully. To experience life fully. And I hold on to that. Because deep down, I know she understands that this distance is not me choosing to love less but it’s me choosing to become more. Because no one is going to hand me my dreams. And no one is going to build the life I want for me. It has to be me. So even when it feels heavy, even when I miss home in ways I can’t explain, I remind myself: this is part of the journey. ...

A Classroom Full of Energy

  My demonstration day with Grade 8 was really fun, but honestly I was super nervous at first. That day, I taught direct and reported speech. Before entering the classroom, I kept thinking about many things because Ma’am Leslie and Sir Isaiah were observing my teaching. I was scared of making mistakes or forgetting my explanation in front of the class. At the beginning of the lesson, I was still nervous while explaining the material. But after a while, I started feeling more relaxed because the students were very active and responsive. I feel relieved when i saw students are smiling and nodding their head.  The Grade 8 students were really talkative and energetic. They kept answering questions, reacting to examples, and talking during discussions. Sometimes the classroom became noisy because everyone wanted to participate at the same time. For the activity, I divided the students into groups and used peer-collaborative assessment. Group 1 had to change direct speech into repor...
