The Walkathon Library Day 2

The Walkathon Library Day 2

DAY 2 - MAY 16, 2017 Morning Session 0700H to 1200H This is the moment that our plans will turn to reality. At exactly 07:00H, with our books and other learner’s materials, we went to Barangay Pilarca, Tinambac, Camarines Sur to pick up the Pedi-cab locally known as “padyak” that we rent form the natives. After 30 minutes of venture, on 0730H we kick off and start wandering on the municipality of Tinambac. We, Lexa Natalie Juntado and Kent Bryan D. Lontok start driving the padyak going to Barangay San Pascual. While roaming around, one of the teachers of the Tinambac South Central School II noticed us and asks us about our project. After explaining to them the main goal of our project, Madam Marites Abrera invited us to their school to talk with the teachers about our plans, and then they offer their help to let us borrow reading books and other teaching materials so we can have better implementation of our project. We thank them because they open wider parameter for our project. Moving on, we drove to Barangay Santa Cruz until we reach Don Servillano Platoon Memorial High School where we saw incoming grade 7 students. Upon seeing them, we invited them to join us in our walkathon library. Since they told us that they will be having reading assessment for enrollment, we let them read books and ask them question so we can assure that they understood what they had read. II. Afternoon Session (1201H to1800H) After a short lunch at Don Servillano Platoon Memorial High School, we wait for the students who promised to comeback. From six (6) students in the morning we now had seven (7) because Kylie invited her friend Jess to participate our program. Since the teachers of DSPMHS admire what we are doing, they ask us to stay in the rest of the afternoon in their school to teach the students especially in reading skills because for the incoming grade 7, reading assessment is a very important matter when entering English Oriented Curriculum. We stayed at DSPMHS until 1700H to start our drive home and for people to notice us and to attract more children for the next day. Evening (1900-2359) At 1900H, we had our formal meeting together with the newly arrived partner, the founder of the Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin, Mr. Jubille Marlourd Lucena. We talked about how to empower our project even better. After two hours of meeting, we rearranged all the reading and teaching materials for tomorrow. We sort out the books that we need and those that are minimally used so we can have better teaching strategy. Then the rest of the night was spent in making and printing some certificates for the journalist, partner organizations and participants.
