Teaching practice - Week 3

 Day 10

Today was the 10th day of my teaching practice. I reached school at 9:00 a.m., signed in, and did line duty. During the 4th hour, I had an engaging class with 8G, where students showed great interest.

I didn’t have noon meal duty today, so I had lunch with my peers at 12:45 p.m. The 5th to 7th periods were unit tests, so we didn’t have regular classes. I helped organize answer sheets and marked absentees.

After school ended at 3:25 p.m., we assisted with line duty and signed out by 4:15 p.m. It was a productive and fulfilling day.

Day 11

Today marked the 11th day of my school teaching practice. I arrived at 9:00 a.m., signed the attendance, and performed line duty to help students assemble for the morning session.

I had the 1st-hour class with 8G, and it turned out to be a lively and engaging session. The students participated actively, which made the class enjoyable and rewarding.

Since I didn’t have noon meal duty today, I had a relaxed lunch at 12:45 p.m. with my fellow trainees, sharing conversations and taking a short break from our usual schedule.

The 5th, 6th, and 7th periods were allotted for unit tests in two subjects, so we didn’t have regular teaching hours. After the first exam, I was given the task of arranging the answer sheets and noting down the absentees—an experience that gave me insight into exam procedures.

The school day ended at 3:25 p.m., followed by our usual line duty during student dispersal. I signed the evening attendance at 4:15 p.m., wrapping up another fulfilling day of practice.

Each day continues to offer valuable lessons and new responsibilities, helping me grow as a future educator.

Day 12

Today was a fulfilling day that reminded me why I love teaching. My morning began with line duty, ensuring students entered the school in an orderly manner—a small yet essential part of maintaining school discipline.

During the 4th hour, I had a lesson with Class 8, where interactive activities sparked curiosity and active participation. I also had a peer evaluation during this period, observed by my fellow teacher trainee, Shymol. The students' enthusiasm was truly infectious, making the session both lively and productive. Moments like these reaffirm the power of dynamic teaching methods.

After a peaceful lunch break at 12:50 p.m., I prepared for evening line duty. The day concluded at 4:15 p.m., leaving me with a deep sense of accomplishment.

Today reinforced the idea that discipline and engaging teaching go hand in hand. Balancing school duties with classroom instruction is a skill I’m steadily refining—with each day teaching me something new

DAY 13

Today marked the 13th day of my school teaching practice. I reached the school at 9:00 a.m. and signed the morning attendance. After that, I reported for line duty, helping to manage the morning assembly.

 I was scheduled to take the 2nd hour in class 8G, but I couldn’t take the class due to the mid-term exams held during the first two periods. Instead, I was assigned the duty of arranging the exam papers. After the exam, I helped arrange the answer sheets in order and listed the absentees. 

During the noon break, I had noon meal duty and later joined my colleagues for lunch at 12:50 p.m. The afternoon passed with routine supervision. At 3:25 p.m., I helped with the end-of-day line duty, ensuring students left in an orderly manner. I signed my evening attendance at 4:15 p.m., concluding a busy and responsible day.

Day 14

The 14th day of my teaching practice coincided with the school’s Annual Sports Day, a vibrant event that began at 8:15 AM despite the morning drizzle, with the chief guest, Baiju Kumar IPS, inaugurating the function in an inspiring ceremony. Assigned to manage the shot put and discus throw events, I gained hands-on experience in coordinating competitions, ensuring fair play, and recording scores, while also participating in the lively Charity Biriyani Challenge during lunch. The day was packed with energetic races, cheers, and teamwork, culminating in my line duty during dispersal, leaving me exhausted but enriched with invaluable lessons in event management and student engagement.
