Day 2 Reflection

 

On Day 2 of our blog project, we continued developing our final group output, which is our blog on “Traditional Dances in the Classroom.” Each of us worked on our individual sections and contributed through Google Docs before sharing our work with our group leader for organization and final compilation.

For my part, I focused on cultural dances from the Philippines, also known as folk dances. I highlighted two well-known dances: Tinikling and Singkil. Tinikling is a traditional dance that involves dancers skillfully stepping between moving bamboo poles, which requires coordination, timing, and teamwork. Singkil, on the other hand, is a royal dance inspired by a Maranao epic, where the dancer gracefully moves in and out of crisscrossed bamboo poles while using fans or an umbrella, symbolizing elegance and strength.

We also continued working on our flow chart and explored various educational websites shared by Dr. Rivera, such as the International Literacy Association (ILA), Wikis, Guam-based educational sites, TeachThought, We Are Teachers, Teacher Network Blog, and The Edublogger. I really appreciate these resources because they provide meaningful ideas and strategies that I can apply in my teaching practice. I plan to continue exploring and using these websites throughout the school year and even over the summer to support my professional growth and enhance my classroom instruction.

I am also posting the Minottonka Public Schools picture from our  class under Dr. Rivera. I had the opportunity to revisit and reflect on this experience.
