First Quarter Examination for 2007-2008

120 children take the First Quarter Examination
Amidst the rain coming in torrent, the children enrolled in pre-school and tutorial lessons took the First Quarter Examination last Aug.13- 18, 2007. Mathematics, Filipino, and English subject which is composed of Reading and Language in the tutorial lessons were given by the teachers following the same tutorial schedule. Pre-school subjects like English, Filipino, Mathematics and Science were given to the Nursery and Kindergarten children by the Pre-school facilitator.

The effort done during the assessment is really a big help in grouping the children according to their levels. This makes the result of the written examination positive. Most of the children got a good score; however, there are some who failed due to schedule conflicts, behavioral problems and the like.

Regarding the computer class, the volunteer facilitators gave an application test wherein the children applied the basic concepts they learned from their computer lessons. The Basic Computer Course for the smaller kids entered data in the excel sheet and followed the facilitator’s instruction. On the other hand, the Young Adults made a presentation depending on their topic of interest using the Power Point Presentation. Through this, the children were able to express their insights, enhance their creativity, overcome their stage frights and observe the proper way of reporting.

Monitoring the Children

Teachers and facilitators worked hand in hand in filling up the progress report card of each child for monitoring purposes. They had to write down the results of the examination, their observation during tutorials and the cognitive aspect of every child to track down the progress. The cognition is based on the monitoring card of the child which is being checked every session of the scheduled tutorial. All of these are communicated to the different homes through the feed backing with the House Parents and Social Workers.
