For my first impression after I’ve got the observation in Kindergarten Headstart was very excited because of in Padre Gomez Elementary School. The school had two kinds class for kindergarten pupils. The first class were conducted by regular class for preschool or kindergarten and the second were class for gifted children as Headstart class. The differences both of program was in mother tongue languages. For kinder-Headstart used English language along the program, but also had Filipino and Makabayan’s. then, for the regular class, the program used Filipino as the mother tongue.
Based on my observation, another differences were the children ability and teachers who teached in the class. Before the children entered the program, school assesst the children from 5 aspects. Cognitif, Language development, Social-emotional, arts, Religious, mathematics, Physical motor, etc. Then, parents would be received the result. Those means the children would have different builds ability areas. Also about the teachers, in K-headstart were teach by SPED Teacher (Special Education teacher).
About the preparing lesson and media, teacher made 4th quarter of topic for Science, Math, English, Filipino and Makabayan’s for every day or weeks. Then, the teacher would be develop the topic for the K-headstart, the lesson also one step difficult than the regular, because the children were afford to viewed the concepts of lesson.
Projector media as main objects to helped teacher prepared the lesson, and teacher have been used the Charts to made the concepts easier. Because those could be used every time and movable. Speaker also help the teacher to presented audio media.
Also for the measurement in evaluation everyday, the teacher of K-headstart prepared work books or note in different colors for different subject. The teacher also gave the assignment sheet or writing time. The teacher prepared drill task to the student to practices and develop student self-minded about the subject during the class
