Our batch’s visit to the different communities assigned to our respective sections turned out to be a learning experience for us. Too bad I didn’t bring my camera, but I don’t it will be of much use. As I am writing this post, I am feeling excited for Friday’s outbound to Mount Makiling, UP Los Banos Museum of Nature, and I forgot the other venue. Our class color will be yellow (many of my classmates weren’t happy about it, since it’s the teachers’ turn to pick the color), and I already paid the fee.
So back to the main topic. The bus where I and some of us were assigned was so hot that we all complained because there was NO aircon. Is that what you call a bus? But at least there were open windows. Thank goodness we had fun while going to the ROTC Hunters Community. A lot of us showed off their phones and camera. It was a very short trip; we arrived there less than 5 minutes later. Since I was assigned to the Day Care committee, I went to one of the Day Care Centers with three of my classmates. We had fun teaching the 20+ kids there. We taught them the proper way to wash their hands, how to avoid getting a cold and cough, and some storytelling. By recess time I evenly distributed the Refresh juices and Dream bars. But there was one problem during that visit: we ran out of Refresh! We have to go to the other day care centers just to get the amount we need for the refreshments.
After the break, the four of us did some storytelling and played some games. By the time we left, we have plenty of time to go the nearest store across the community and buy softdrinks. For our reflection in our PALIHAN notebook, we need to get an object that we could paste in our notebook and explain why did we pick it up. I bought candy from an OSY (out-of-school youth) so I could paste the candy wrapper in it.
It was definitely a learning experience for me. Here are the things that I learned:
- Teaching kids the things needed in life can benefit all
- Simplicity is a must
- Love all kinds of people!
