Name of School: Iligan City East High School
Observed: Grade 7
Location of the School: Sta. Filomena, Iligan City
Date of Visit:November 23, 2016

   During my observation in Grade 7 i found out that most of the pupils are 12-14 years of age. Most of the pupils majority are girls and boys are 10 to 15 in the classroom. Each of them have different characteristics and attitudes, some can manage their own and some are dependent to their teacher. Yes like doing their assigned task in cleaning their classroom and others that teacher assigned them. The teacher focuses her attention to all of them so that they can participate and work well. But some of the students will not listen and participate.



Observation of the classroom visit

Observation Notes: 

    There are areas in the classroom where they store books and students belongings that can be found in the corner of the classroom. There are also rules and regulations, the teachers schedule of teaching. Their daily routine are cleaning inside the classroom. The daily routines are pray, then checking the attendance done by the home room teacher, the class discussion and after they have short quiz and end in prayer again. There is seating arrangement consist of girl, boy by 5 rows. The classroom that I observed is very noisy the teacher cannot managed their noisiness. The teacher calls his/her attention for not following instructions. The teacher reinforce positive behavior is by talking nicely to the students and being a good role model to them.
