In line with the Retrospect Batang Batangueño (RBB) program, Gelerang Kawayan Elementary School integrates meaningful preparatory activities before the start of every lesson. These activities aim to cultivate the core values of respect, mindfulness, gratitude, and self-discipline among learners—qualities that reflect the character of a true Batangueño. By taking a few moments to pause, reflect, and prepare mentally and emotionally, students are guided to enter the learning process with focus, positivity, and a sense of responsibility.

The preparatory activities such as Silent Prayer, Thank You Thought Time, One Minute Silence, and Smile in Silence help create a calm and respectful classroom atmosphere. They encourage learners to appreciate blessings, develop inner peace, and build positive relationships with their classmates and teachers. Through these simple yet meaningful practices, students are reminded of the importance of humility, gratitude, and kindness in their daily lives.

These activities support not only academic readiness but also the holistic development of learners, nurturing values that are deeply rooted in Batangueño culture. By practicing reflection and positivity before learning begins, students become more prepared to engage actively in their lessons while embodying the principles promoted by the Retrospect Batang Batangueño (RBB) initiative.
