Fieldwork #1

when it comes to questions written in English. If there are terms that they don't understand, students willingly ask us and we gladly answer it. Once they are done answering the questions, one by one we translate and explain to them what is the meaning of the questions and why the correct answer is the best answer to the given question.
Teaching a student is not a very easy task to do, because the attention span of the children is very short compare to middle aged children. That's why after reviewing the set 1, the children already asked us if they can already buy some snacks because it was nearly noon, after buying some snacks we continued to answer and review the remaining sets.
After accomplishing our tasks, we let the children guide us to a small "sari-sari" store near their school for us to buy them more snacks as a price for finishing their works and for cooperating with us.
As the moment passes by, the children ask us if we want to play "chili-tubig", which is more like an ice water game that we play in our childhood years so it is easy to cope up with the rules. Playing with them made us feel like we were back in our childhood days once again, and it feels wonderful. Sadly, the time to leave comes so we said goodbye to the kids. While doing it, we can see that there are bonds that have been formed in a short time that we stayed in their place; that is why we look forward to coming back in this place as soon as possible.
