Student-teacher: Ko Ko Oo School: Ekamai International School Level/Grade: 5

I began my internship in January 20 and finished on April 30. I began to teach my class on February, but it was just taking
control the class without teachers; teacher was not free because of workshop. During when I was doing my intern, I even done with
subject course outline and I had learnt to create questions for tests and quiz on google class. It was worthy and pleasant to have intern in
Ekamai International School. Normally, I went to every class every week for assisting and teaching, there would be schedule like I
went to Math class on Monday, Health and Science class on Tuesday, Language Art class on Wednesday, and I just went to each
different class for two section on Thursday and Friday. I did learn so many different skills like classroom management skills. As there
are four sessions, when I plan one lesson, I had practiced and improved to teach another three classes too. The thing that really
surprised me after I started teaching is how difficult it really is to teach. Every day I am asking myself if I am really making a
difference or not and it's really hard to handle on how well I am doing.

Date: 20/01/2021
I came to school at 7 am to meet with my homeroom teacher. Then she explained me what I need to do
for this morning and the rest of the day. Firstly, I helped to arrange the word sheet in each of the basket for the
students. As I got the schedule to assist in library, I went to Elementary library to assist the students. Then I
came back to my room in another period and helped language art teacher with punching holes in student’s
exercise sheets. After that I had chance to observe the homeroom teacher. It was middle of the class when I
observed, so what I learned was checking attendance and checking chapter test. She just let students to mark
their answers their self with red pen. Then students need to show teacher what they had marked. Then teacher
explained and reminded the chapter quiz and homework for next week. Then she let students to do classwork.
After I observed in homeroom teacher, I went to observe Math class. As teacher is learning online, teacher need
to wait a little while for every student. When she is waiting for other students to be active, she let students to read
today lesson and she also explained why she want them to read; she wants students to preview the lesson before
lesson, so that they will have some idea about what they are going to learn today. And teacher suggest to make
check point and review for the quiz. Then she checked yesterday classwork. Students need to open their screen,
so that when teacher check for attendance, they have to raise their hand to notify that they are present. Afterward
she taught about ordered pairs and graph patterns. The way she taught was students centered learning. She uses
questions and answer strategy to interact with student. After that I helped teacher to type the questions for the
quiz.

What I do

 Assist students in the library

 Observe the Language Art class
 Observe the Mathematics class
 Assist homeroom teacher with punching hole for the student’s work sheet
 Help teacher with drawing timetable

What I learn

 Teacher use Plus Portals to provide homework calendar, lesson coverage and what time students will
have quiz or test. It prevents excuses from students.
 Teacher should “Do what you say” so that students will respect the teacher because they know who they
can fool around.
 Language Art class
o teacher use Socrative.com to give the quiz and tests. It’s easier to make assessment; it can see
everything what students are doing and teacher can monitor the students to log out when the time
is up.
o teacher also review how to log in Socrative.com for exam
o To be able to solve the conflict among students, teacher provide open discussion and let students
to express their hatred and dissatisfactory. Then teacher deliver the solution for the students.
 Math class
o Teacher always care about the student works
o And teacher has strict rules for taking quiz
 Teacher don’t allow students to take quiz if they don’t finish the classwork
 Drawing timetable
o I realized that drawing time table for all the class is hard to arrange
o I just learned how to arrange the subject around the table, so that main subect can take place.

o What I learned today was one of the students disobey the rules and played the song to annoy the
whole students when teacher was out of the meeting.
 o When teacher came in to meeting, he still playing the song, teacher ask this student to leave the
room. Thus students will not learn anything from today class and he is going to get zero for each
classwork in different classes too.
 Another thing that I learned from today was about classroom bulletin board.
o There are different bulletin board in the classroom.
o Those are including classroom rules, behavior chart, Weekly assignment and classroom calendar
and activity bulletin board.
o What I am interesting to learn among the bulletin board was behavior chart that described with
four categories: Excellent, No recess, Warning and Parent call.
o Excellent when students are responsible, Warning, when teacher had to talk to student, No recess
when students did not do their best and Parent call when students behavior was unacceptable.
o For those categories are going to show the signal with colors like Blue card describe Excellent,
Warning is green card, No recess is yellow and parent call is red.

cover their exam desks. Then students passed the papers back to front, and students arranged in numerical order.
It was very systematic. Then Third and fourth class, I went to Health class and assist with marking and copying

student to drink water. It was the lesson I learned that I need to review the classroom rules make sure students
are following the rules.

second session. I noticed that I need to improve in making questions and I should be ready to ask questions, so
that I voice might be clear and sound. What I learnt from my teaching was students like to talk and some

Date: 22/02/2021
I had chance to teach the proper lesson. My teaching was successful, but I need some part to change
because when I was teaching about fractions, they had learnt it in Grade 4. So when I became teaching from
basic, it caused bored for students. I had noticed at the beginning of the first session, so I had changed it for
another three sessions too. What I did was choose word problem to explain them and choose students who
rarely answer the questions. What I noticed about students was they don’t try to understand the questions and
they just want to solve and calculate.
 Date: 23/02/2021
I assisted Health and Science teacher. What I did in the class was just marking and scoring the tests and
classwork. I also took control class and what I do was giving instructions of what they need to be done in the
class like classwork and making students quiet. When they don’t know how to answer the questions, I went

knowledge. I was able to explain concept of mixed fraction and students were doing fine with their classwork.
However, some students who forgot what they had learnt in grade 4, they still don’t know how to solve yet, so I
went around and explain those students. I had managed the students by keeping busy with their classwork.

Date: 02/03/2021

session look a bit bored because I explained too much information. However, I changed my teaching styles.

and continue the lesson. What I learn from my lesson was I should not explain a lot of information at the same
time.

changed my teaching styles based on student’s engagement. Instead of explanation so many information, I
asked their opinion about the topic and lesson. Then I gave feedback for their answers and continue the lesson.

their prior knowledge by asking questions. And my teaching was a bit smooth but I need to improve in asking
questions. My questions were changed in different sessions. However, I felt improved after teaching two or

When the school began on Monday, students were studying online and I was not able to teach. I only
taught language Art as the last lesson for writing. And I assisted my homeroom teacher with copying scores on
the scoring folder. Then most of the time, I was with Math teacher. I assisted he with creating lesson format in
the google classroom for Chapter tests and quizzes. And also I assisted with subject outline for next years. I
learned about how to create lesson coverage and rules for the classroom. Then I assisted with downloading math
materials from the online textbook like tests and quizzes. The last things I did was copy the student’s test scores
in scoring sheets. I had learned a lot about creating google classroom tests and how to share with students and
what we can include in the subject outlines.
