| THE TUTORS |
If I am submitting a journal in my
tutorial experience in Cornerstone that is based in Inuman Elementary School I
would probably failed. I missed writing or rather publishing for two Saturdays.
So much had happened. Luckily, I have taken photos that can compensate the
words to fill this diary and some notes stored in my phone.
On the 24th of January I
remember not having interest in taking photos during the tutorial session. I
remember I was busy practicing the alphabet sound with my fellow tutors. I
realized I rely more on print than speaking and I was amazed on the importance
of sound in reading specially for the tutees. Letters have their own language
that the kids (tutees) sometimes get confused. Also, I was determined to focus
on teaching the tutees since the end of the tutorial session is near. It is
like preparing for the Finals. That is why I only have photos after the session
with my fellow tutors.
The number of the decreasing
volunteer tutors got our attention. I admit it is not a good ratio between the
tutors and tutees. I fully understand this situation. Some volunteers are
studying and working. Much as they want to attend their time and priorities are
crucial.
THE TUTEES ARE ENJOYING THE SONG.
Rhia,
who was in-charge as lead tutor initiated a song that everyone is familiar. I
don’t know if it is a nursery rhyme. It goes like this, “One day (Isang araw), I saw (nakita) one bird (isang ibon) flying
(lumilipad). I shot (binaril ko) I picked (dinampot ko) I cooked (niluto ko)
and I ate (at kinain ko).” I guess this is to teach them in translating
English to Filipino.
In every Cornesrstone there is
always a lunch prepared by the Couples For Christ (CFC). It is important that I
mention it now because those meals are very much appreciated by us specially by
the tutor. Thank you titos (uncles) and titas (aunties). Also thank you
Cornerstone family for giving us the opportunity to serve. Thank you!
