CLASSROOM VISIT
In the classroom of grade1 section1 under the advisory of Mam Dell, there are 6
boys and 9 girls and their ages ranges into 6-7. Most of the pupils cant handle their
behaviour, and most of them are naughty and noisy. There are some pupils who have the
initiative to clean their classroom after some activities, although they cant clean it
properly. Their span of attention is short; in a long period of time they begin to be bored.
Thats why they are talking with their seatmates and go to one place to another. The
span of their attention is too short because they always wanted to play. Their listening
skills need to be reminded by their teacher.
Inside the classroom there are areas with specific purposes like the storage of
teaching aids, books, and student belongings that are organize properly to make it
easy for the teacher and students to find what they need in their discussion and
activity.
Their storage of teaching aids are placed near the window at the right side of
the classroom, the books are also placed in the book shelf at the left side of the
classroom, near the door.
There are also rules and regulations posted inside, set by the teacher that
everyone should follow to have peace and order during the class. But sometimes
they forget to practice this rules because of their misbehaviour.
Every person has his/her own daily routine like the pupils here in this class. First is
having the opening prayer, second is checking of the attendance and assignment,
then having a warm-up before proceeding to their discussion. The daily routine can
help them to be more active and alive.
There is seating arrangement in the class. The basis of the arrangement is the
ability of the learners. But not to the point that the fast learners will be there to the
fast learners also. They are mixed and the learners enjoyed this kind of strategy.
They are mixed for them also to help each other, especially the slow learners.
Being a grade1 pupil is very acceptable reason when they are noisy. Noise in the
classroom is natural because the learners span of attention is too short. But the
teacher does something to manage their noise, like calling their attention and ask
some questions. If the learners didnt follow those instructions or is off-task, most
of the time the teacher explains that a good pupil should follow the teacher and do
the task she had given. The pupils realize the right things to do and to follow.
To reinforce the positive behaviours of the pupils, the teacher explained the
difference between right and wrong and what they must imitate to be a good
person and to be love by others.

1. The teacher does her job well, and successfully teaches those pupils who are asking
for her help. She teaches them with full of willingness, love, dedication and strength.

My Analysis
The classroom organization and routines
affect the learners. It makes them responsible
and applies good behaviour. Those routines can
help them in such a way that sometimes they
so forgetful, but there is school they remember
of what they need to do.
The teacher should think her pupils/learners
in designing the classroom organization and
routines. The teacher should consider the pupils
differences. She must know what are the things
and posters that can help her students to learn.

My Reflection
I am imagining myself as an adviser of grade1. As an adviser,
I will make sure that my classroom is conducive to learning. I will
fill it with instructional materials like books, bulletin boards, charts,
pictures and others that may help me and my pupils gain more
knowledge. I will implement the traditional routine, and procedures
are also applied to this level. I will make them more responsible
enough inside my room. Act like an educated one, not like an out
of school youth. I will make sure that they are comfortable with
me.
The examples of those rules that I like to implement inside my
classroom are:
If someone is inside the CR, they dont need to wait outside
and make some line over there-because every lesson is
important, and usually they go to the CR just to skip the
lesson.
Make their classroom like a house not a playground.
Sometimes pupils are playing and running inside the
classroom. Yes! They are grade1, but they should respect the
classroom. So that I need to teach them a good behaviour.
Participate to the class- they keep on talking, drawing &
writing. They need to participate because it is also for them to
learn.
The learners should be involved in making the class rules because
they are the one who will implement and apply these rules. They
are the reason, why I made all those rules. All I want is their future
and I want them to be responsible, and well-dedicated students.

Opening & Closing Prayer- they always wanted to be

with the god creator, they posted the two prayers for
them to feel that god is always there. They recite it
every time they start and finish their studies. They
also posted some pictures of attractive flowers,
because they appreciate the beauty of it.
