Bonifacio Day 2014

       Our school was named after the great Andres Bonifacio, a Filipino hero who fought against the Spaniards for Philippine independence. He was the Great Plebeian the founder of KKK, the group who significantly contributed for the freedom of Filipinos. His birth anniversary is a national holiday held every November 30. As part of this celebration, our school has Mister and Miss A. Bonifacio.
      Of course, as a proud adviser, my muse was again crowned as runner up. The coronation was actually an extravagant event where each class showcased a cavalcade of dances. It was so fun that everybody enjoyed the program. I was also very proud that some of my students participated in the dance.

The robots....


With our pretty muse...


Our king and queen...where are you looking kids??? hehehe

Albert Bandura: Principles of Social Learning Theory



1. Learning occurs through observation. We learn by observing other people. They observe other’s behavior and the results of these behaviors. Remember the “bobo doll experiment”? Children learn especially from older ones and try to imitate their behavior. This underscores the significance of good role models for children to learn appropriate and positive behavior.  
.
2. Learning doesn’t necessarily mean a change in behavior. Behaviorist theory connotes that learning should result to a change in behavior. For social learning theorists, learning can happen even without a change in behavior. People can learn just observation and does not certainly have to be represented in a change to their behavior. 
3. Social learning theory involves cognition for learning. Various cognitive factors are involved for people to learn such as attention, awareness and retention. Reinforcement and punishment also have an impact on the behavior people may demonstrate and exhibit. 


4. In relation to the above-mentioned principle, social learning theory can be considered a transition between behaviorist learning theories and cognitive learning theories. It suggests the importance of cognitive process in learning like attention but at the same time acknowledges the role of behaviorist idea of reinforcement and punishment to strengthen learning and behavior.

Lesson Plan in Math 5 (Integrated with Science)

I. Objectives
At the end of the class, the pupils are expected to:
a. state the place value of each digit in a 6 or more-digit number
b. Read and write numbers through billions in figures and words correctly
c. Observe accuracy in reading and writing the numbers

II. Subject Matter
A. Place Value/ Reading and Writing Numbers
B. BEC PELC I. A1; Everday Mathematics 5 p. 6-7
C. pictures, chart, chalkboard
D. Accuracy

III. Procedure
A. Preparatory Activities
1. Drill/Motivation (Forming Numbers Game)
            Each group will be given number cards from 0 to 9. As the teacher says a number, the group members will form the said number. The group which is able to form the number first will get a point. The group who gets 10 points wins.

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation
             Ask: Who is the first man who landed on the moon? How far do you think the moon is from the earth?
            Discuss that the moon’s average distance from the earth is three hundred eighty-four thousand four hundred three kilometers.
            Ask: How is this number written in numerals?
                     How are the digits grouped?
                     Where do the values of each period as well as each digit in the periods depend?
                     What is the role of zero in a number?

3. Exercise
Write the numerals of the following:
1. Sixty-seven million, four hundred eight thousand, twenty-three
2. Nine billion, twenty thousand one hundred sixty-five
3. Four million, six hundred seventeen thousand, eighty-one
4. Twenty-three billion, ninety-one million, six thousand forty-eight
5. Seventy-seven million, seventeen thousand, seven

4. Generalization
            Where do we start reading numbers?
            How is each period separated from each other?

C. Application
            Show to the class a planet model chart with each planet indicating its average distance from the sun. Let pupils write the indicated values in words.

IV. Evaluation
A. Write the numerals of the following:
1. Seven hundred eighty two million eight hundred two thousand two
2. Eighteen thousand six
3. Six hundred eighty-one thousand four hundred thirty-six
4. Four million five
5. Sixty-one thousand forty-eight

V. Assignment
            Research on the moons of Jupiter and find their average distance from the planet. Write the numbers in words.
