9-5-17 (6:33am – 12:50pm)	I haven’t started teaching on this day. My cooperating teacher just introduced me to my students and she also introduced the students to me.	I only observed my cooperating teacher.	As I observed my cooperating teacher disciplining the students, I realized that being a teacher is a hard profession.
9-8-17 (6:24am – 2:57pm)	My official start of teaching in MCHS. I handled Grade 7 and taught them the topic “Sinaunang pamumuhay ng mga Asyano”	I used codes as their motivation. They will decode the numbers to know what will be the topic. The motivation caught their attention and they become attentive in the class discussion.	I felt like a teacher already. I need to master more my lesson in order to transfer the lesson to them easily.
9-13-17 (6:32am – 2:30pm)	We continue the lesson last time in other sections. We continue the topic “Sinaunang pamumuhay ng mga Asyano”.	I used motivation again. I need to engage my students to participate in the discussion. I also used activities such as concept mapping.	It’s hard to handle Grade 7 students, especially the students in lower section. I need to have more patience to handle all of them.
9-14-17 (6:40am – 2:30pm)	We opened a new topic. I taught the topic “Mahahalagang pangyayari sa sinaung panahon sa Silangan at Hilagang Asya”.	I used motivation such as showing pictures of the countries we are about to discuss. I also gave them a game about what country this contribution belongs to.	I need to do more questioning to the students. I need to assure if they learned something or not.
9-19-17 (6:30am – 2:30pm)	We continue the lesson “Mahahalagang pangyayari sa sinaung panahon sa Silangan at Hilagang Asya”.	I discuss the lesson by giving ideas to them first. Pronouncing the words right and giving them the people who are involved in the lesson.	Some of the students find the discussion boring. I need to make the class lively. I also need to give more clues and questions while discussing the lesson.
9-20-17 (6:30am – 2:30pm)	Continuation of the lesson yesterday in other sections.	I gave an activity to them. They will put the contributions of the East Asian Countries to the right country where it belongs to.	I thought of pronouncing some words from the said countries for them to engage in the lesson. I think it worked well because they are participating in the discussion.
9-22-17 (6:30am – 2:01pm)	Final continuation of the lesson “Mahahalagang pangyayari sa sinaung panahon sa Silangan at Hilagang Asya”.	I gave them activity for them to do. They will distribute the contributions of the East Asian countries to the right one.	Give them time to do their work. Don’t rush them or they will not do their activity and just pass their paper even though they didn’t answer any.
9-26-17 (6:45am – 2:14pm)	We opened a new topic. The lesson “Mahahalagang pangyayari sa sinaunang panahon ng Timog Asya”.	I grouped them into five. Per group, there will be a representative in every question. They will write it on the board as I tell them goes.	The students want some games while discussing the lesson. They get thrilled and engaged more in the lesson.
9-27-17 (6:50am – 2:30pm)	I handled all the Grade 7 students this day.	I gave them a quiz from the very first lessons this 2nd grading to the lesson where we stop.	Giving quizzes will assure the teacher if the students learned something. We also need to monitor them if they are cheating or not.
9-28-17 (6:30am – 2:40pm)	I handled all the Grade 7 students this day.	I also gave a quiz today.	Again, giving quizzes to the students will measure if they learned or not.
9-29-17 (6:30am – 2:40pm)	We continue the lesson “Mahahalagang pangyayari sa sinaunang panahon ng Timog Asya”.	I told them to write all the things they’ve learned this day.	The students have so many questions, and I need to answer them all. So I need to read like 4 topics ahead from them.
