Government Agencies According to my Grade 3 Pupils

We discussed government agencies responsible for providing services in health, disaster and social welfare in civic class. I gave a fill in the blanks for my recall quiz and I told the class that who ever finished their work early can take their recess early. So they tried their best to fill in the blanks as fast and as correctly as they can. Some of my pupils’ answer got me laughing so hard that I thought I was going to fart.

I am not making fun of my pupils, what I’m trying to show is their creativity in answering the quiz. I used to do this during my grade school days too; I invent.

reminds me of myself when i was a gradeschool pupil. Teaching these pupils is like riding on a ferris wheel...one moment you love them the next minute you hate them...but its really humbling to see them hugging or apologizing to me after I vent out all my irritation at them...children are nice although sometimes I had to call on all my powers and prayers just to keep myself from throwing them out the window...he,he,he (just exaggerating :-)

I know that are having a great time teaching, despite the makukulit students. :-)

I hope one day, I'll be a full-fledged teacher in RP or in a frontier mission field. It's such a noble profession. Very fulfilling ano.
