Day 4

 Orientation Meeting at Lampang Rajabhat University

    On August 30th 2023, I went to school at 7am and my internship is from 7:30am to 5:00pm. I still observed the learning process in the class. Before studying, I joined the students' morning ceremony in front of the classroom and sang a traditional school song. The students are very kind and serious, seeing the innocent joy of the students makes me really miss the memories of my school days.

    After the flag ceremony, they are required to drink milk before entering the classroom. Teacher Vin would help them cut the end of the milk, and I distributed straws to the students. Then, on that meeting the students' activity is combined operations. 

    In the afternoon, I helped teacher Vin prepare lunch for the students. After that, I went to Lampang Rajabhat University because we were invited by the University to attend an orientation meeting, and this meeting discussed about the SEAMEO SEA-Teacher program activities in Lampang. This afternoon was also fun, because this meeting was also attended by the Principal of Lampang Rajabhat University and some lecturers. At this meeting I also met the SEA-Teacher participants from the Philippines who had just arrived, their names were Ana and Janus. 

Orientation Meeting

    The meeting began with introductions from the principal of LPRU and the parties involved in the SEAMEO SEA-Teacher program, teachers from Anuban Lampang School, Ban Pongsanook School, Demonstration School, and Sport School. Then, discussed activities that will be carried out at the school for one month, until the final presentation.

    The first time I visited LPRU, I felt that the campus is very spacious and comfortable, and for the maths department, there are two students who will do teaching practice in two different schools, namely at Anuban Lampang School and Ban Pongsanook School. I will be doing my teaching practice at Anuban Lampang School, and my friend Shaina from the Philippines will be doing her teaching practice at Ban Pongsanook School. 

    After the coordination activities were completed, Ma'am Ying asked us to meet with each of the mentor teachers who had been distributed earlier. Shaina and I met our two mentor teachers, lecturers from Lampang Rajabhat University. Maths department, Ma'am Pimpaka and Ma'am Nipa. We coordinated about teaching, they were very nice and friendly and told us about food in Thailand.

    After that, we went back to our seats. Then, some LPRU students visited us and asked our names, they also brought a paper containing the name of one of the SEA-Teacher students who would be our friend and help us while in Thailand. Later, I met my LPRU buddy student, his name is Ken and he is an English major.
