Hello.. 😊
On this post, I will share about the laboratory school which is still a part of Benguet State University. The BSU has two laboratory schools, the elementary laboratory school (ELS) and the secondary laboratory school (SLS). Both of these were connected with the College of Teacher's Education of BSU. The school that I have been practicing is on the BSU-secondary laboratory school (SLS), which is the continuation study for the student after they graduated from BSU-elementary laboratory school (ELS).

permission to the ‘on-duty’ teacher that day. The books are classified with different subject or study topic, so it
makes students easier to search the book they need.

SLS has comfort classes, black and white board, TV in each class, LCD
projector, student’s lockers, and library.

The BSU-Secondary Laboratory School also support students who have talent. Some talents that usually needed for the championship are sport and material art. Last year, on 27 September 2017, the student of BSU - Secondary Laboratory School won a world material art competition in Korea.
The teacher in the BSU-Secondary Laboratory School Is very
responsible to their duty on teaching. They do make lesson plan every day for
the different subject for the different class. Ma’am Imee Cuadra as my mentor
teacher in SLS always said to me that in making a lesson plan, should be
reflected from the students characteristic. For example, for the seven grade
students, they still a kid and not really like to think very hard. They likes
to play a games, because they are still a kid. That’s why the lesson plan for seven
grade is better to include some games to make them learn happily.
