Observations/ Account
(What Happened?)
- I arrived SPH at 7am.
- Students were doing their morning works
on their table until Ms. Stacy called them
for devotion.
- At 7:15am, Ms. Stacy started the devotion,
and she read the short story of Abraham.
- At 7:30 am, Ms. Stacy started Math Class
by checking their homework.
- After checking their homework, it was a
time for chapter end test.
- Math test ended at around 8:05 since they
have snake break at 8:10am.
- Snake break was ended at around 8:30am,
and next section was mathematics.
- Two students werent not finished their
test yet so the teacher let them continue
test, and she started a new chapter.

Reflections & Critical Response
(What do I think of it? What went well?
What could be improved? How? What will I
do differently? How does this connect to
the theory I have read from class?)
- Everything went well.
- I can see that Ms. Stacy has good class
management, good delivery skill, and she
is very organized.
- I like the way she handle the class. She is
great teacher who strict at rules and
disciplines, on the other hand she is really
friendly, flexible, patient and generous.
- She tired her best to make sure nobodys
left behind but sometime it didnt work
out that way. But I think thats normal for
all teachers since every student has
different strength and weakness, and
different understanding levels.
- I like the way she disciplined her
students. She is second mom for them.
- I really learned a lot from Ms. Stacy in
terms of how to manage the class and how
to discipline the students.
- In science class, Ibu marshall could not
handle the classroom. The classroom was
kind of noisy, and everyone was talking. If
I was her, I would have managed class
strict, and at the same time, Ill be
teaching graciously.
