#10 - SEA Teacher Poject 5th Batch (Last Day in Marikina Elementary School)

This is my last day in Marikina Elementary School. It was so fast, it did not feel like four weeks had passed. Honestly, I really hate the farewell. I do not want to leave my students in Marikina Elementary School. But my time is up here, I have to go back to Indonesia to finish my college.

So, this is the moments when I was in Marikina Elementary School for the last time.

I promise, I will never forget the moments with my students in Marikina Elementary School. When I taught English for them, joked with them, played with them, cried with them, laughed with them, did questions with them, received gifts from them, I always got a greeting from them and I got 178 letters from my students on the last day in Marikina Elementary School. Oh my god, I will always remember those moments and I wish I could go back to Philippines and meet them again.

I LOVE YOU ALL MY STUDENTS!!! (By : Sir Erwin).

#9 - SEA Teacher Poject 5th Batch (3 Final Demonstrations)

I think this is the most exciting day when I'm in Philippines. Seriously I feel dizzy, scared, nervous, and excited. I am preparing everything for this day. Like lesson plan, material, instructional media, reward for students, and then create identity to differentiate groups of students during group activity.

Sometimes I feel uncomfortable with the decision that I have to do 3 final demonstrations. But I'm sure this is a challenge I have to go through. And with great enthusiasm, effort and prayer I finally got through it all.

For the first final demonstration I was in the third week of grade V - Mercury with the material is "Fact or Opinion".

Then my second final demonstration in the fourth week of Grade VI – SSC Nobel with the material is “Conjunctions”.

And the last final demonstration in the fourth week also of grade IV - SSC Diamond with the material is Prepositions "Between and Among".

In my opinion, the experience is one of the best experiences that exist in my life. I hope after the final demonstration I can get better in teaching. Aamiin...

#8 - SEA Teacher Poject 5th Batch (Valentine's Day)

On February 14th, 2018 in Marikina Elementary School celebrated "Valentine's Day". All students and teachers gathered in the school to celebrate valentine's day. Actually, this is the first time I've seen a celebration of valentine's day. Because in my religion there is no celebration for valentine day. At that time I thought that the celebration of valentine day is a tradition that is carried out every year. And then, I see that every student brings gifts, chocolates or flowers for the teacher. I also got gifts, chocolates and roses from my students. It makes me touched because they are really good to me.

So here's the photos I took at that time. Let's see...

I will never forget that day when my students give me a lot of gifts. Thank you my dearest students.

#7 - SEA Teacher Poject 5th Batch (Beautiful Places in Philippines)

When I was in Philippines I visited some places that I thought were very beautiful. Of course I went to these places when I was free from activities in school. I am very lucky to be able to go to these places. so these are the wonderful places I've ever visited. Hihihi ...

1. Sta. Lucia Mall

In Indonesia of course a lot of big malls. But at that time I went to a mall that was so big. My friends and I went to there just for hangouts. Here's my photos at Sta. Lucia Mall.

2. SM Mall of Asia

I will never forget this moment, I really like this place. and I went to there with my friends and my buddy. Of course, when I was there I saw that this place was really so beautiful.

Well, this is my moment while in SM Mall of Asia!

When we arrived at SM Mall of Asia at that time, we found indonesian food restaurant. So we decided to eat there. Seriously, I suddenly missed Indonesia. And at that moment I ordered "Rendang" for me to eat with rice. Oh my god, I think now I'm in Indonesia for a moment. Ha ha ha

And after dinner we try "Boat Ride", my friends and I really enjoy while on the boat and look around SM Mall of Asia from the beach. And at that moment we saw fireworks so beautiful. Well, I'm getting more and more in love with this place.

At that moment I was curious to try MOA's Eye and finally Vincent bought tickets for all of us. and I feel a little scared when I'm at high altitude. but I really enjoy it.

And the last one is we have been playing Rings games to get a doll. but in reality we lost with that silly game. Hahaha...

3. Manila Ocean Park

I felt very lucky at that time. Because I was invited by the teacher of Marikina Elementary School to go to Manila Ocean Park. Of course, I do not refuse. Hahaha...

When I got there, I saw that there was an amazing place. I saw so many types of animals that live in water, besides that I also saw animals that live on land and in the air. I really like that place!

4. Pinto Art Museum

The next place I've ever visited is the Pinto Art Museum. And Ivy treat us for tickets. I think this place is full of amazing artwork. I can see a variety of interesting and unique artworks. of course, I was so impressed with the artworks.

5. Cloud 9

I went to that place at night with my friends. When I arrived there I thought the place was similar with "Bukit Moko" in Bandung - Indonesia. But there are different that is in Cloud 9 there are places to eat for people who go there. And if we order food there we get free tickets to try the rides that are there. After dinner we tried the "360 View" and we passed the suspension bridge to see the wonderful Philippines at night. Of course, I fell in love with this place.

6. Intramuros

When I was there, I thought I could know the history of the place because Vincent told me when I saw a statue in prison. Besides that I was saw the beautiful river there.

7. River Banks

This place is very different in the day and night. I've been there during the day and night. At noon I went to there with my friends and buddy to see the famous big shoe. And on different days, I also went to there at night with my friends and my buddy. And while there we are cycling and I think at that time I really enjoy it.

I will never forget those memories with them. Thank you for taking me to such places. Hihihi...

#6 - SEA Teacher Poject 5th Batch (Teaching English in Marikina Elementary School)

In the third and fourth weeks, I teach English in grades 4, 5 and 6 from Monday to Friday with different grades, materials and times. But, before teaching of course at night I prepare the learning media to facilitate the learning process takes place. Like looking for images or videos that fit the material, creating a PPT and chart.

For grade 6 I have taught in grades VI - Shaw, VI - Munro, VI - Einstein, and VI - SSC Nobel.

These photos were taken when I was teaching in Grade VI - Shaw about "Homonyms".

Then for grade 5 I only teach in grades V - Mercury and V - Earth.

These photos were taken when I was teaching in Grade V - Mercury about "Descriptive Text".

As for grade 4 I teach in grades IV - Amethyst, IV - Pearl and IV - SSC Diamond.

These photos were taken when I was teaching in Grade IV - Amethyst about "Prepositions".

Honestly sometimes I feel tired, but I always feel happy because not everyone can get a great experience like this. I was more excited to learn more so I could be a good teacher for my students.
