Teaching practice week 5

 11th August – Settling into the Week

The week began on a calm and steady note. I reached school on time, signed the attendance register, and carried out my routine discipline duties. Though my allotted class was in the 4th hour with 8G, what stood out most today were the small, informal interactions I had with students outside the classroom. Observing their behavior during breaks gave me a glimpse of their personalities beyond academics. By the end of the day, after fulfilling all responsibilities, I signed out at 4:15 p.m. with a quiet sense of satisfaction.

12th August – A Day of Duties and Discoveries

Like every day, I started by signing in at the register, reminding myself that each new school day carries fresh possibilities. My assigned duty was meal serving — an experience I always find joyful. The dining area was filled with cheerful chatter, and handing out plates became more than just a duty; it felt like a way of building connection and care with the students.

Adding extra charm to the day was the opening of the two-day book fair. The library buzzed with excitement as children explored adventure stories, science guides, and fantasy tales. Watching their curious eyes light up as they picked their books was heartwarming. By evening, I felt grateful — not only for carrying out my duties but also for being part of little moments that nourished both body and mind.

13th August – A Busy yet Cheerful Day

The day began at 9:00 a.m. with signing in and my usual discipline duty. Soon after, the second day of the book fair brought another wave of excitement. Students crowded around colorful stalls, choosing their favorites — from Naruto comics to unicorn adventures and princess stories. The joy on their faces reminded me how books can spark imagination in ways nothing else can.

Amidst the busy schedule, I shared laughter and light moments with my co-trainees. These small exchanges of stories and smiles made the day warmer. By the end, I felt that I had not only done my duties but also collected memories worth treasuring.

14th August – Culture, Awareness & Independence Spirit

Today was truly special. The school hosted a vibrant performance of Kakarishi Nadakam, a traditional folk art form of Kerala. Organized by NSS and student groups, the play combined colorful costumes, rhythmic beats, and powerful storytelling to spread awareness about AIDS. It was a moving reminder of how art can carry social messages, blending culture with compassion.

At the same time, preparations for Independence Day were in full swing. Corridors echoed with patriotic songs, and classrooms turned into rehearsal spaces for dances and speeches. The festive spirit was already alive, filling everyone with unity and anticipation for the big day.

16th August – A Compensating Day of Learning

Since last Friday was a holiday, today was observed as a compensating working day. My 4th-hour class with 8G was a mix of exam preparation and grammar. We discussed previous question papers and revised the if-clause (conditional sentences). The students were active and attentive, clarifying doubts while also revisiting exam-style practice.

Only the high school section had classes, while HSS and UP remained closed. By 3:00 p.m., the day was dispersed. It may have been a simple day, but it was productive — giving students confidence in both their grammar skills and exam readiness.

✨ Looking back at Week 5, I realize how every day — whether it’s serving meals, revising grammar, or watching cultural performances — adds its own unique layer to my teaching journey. Some days are busy, some are light, but each leaves behind lessons and memories I’ll carry forward.

Teaching practice week 4

6th August – Hiroshima Day

The day began like usual—signing in at 9:00 a.m., completing my duty, and attending the morning prayer. But today held something special. The school organized a program to mark Hiroshima Day. Students created impactful posters and participated in ceremonies to remember the victims of the atomic bombing. Watching their empathy and creativity in action was truly moving.

My 4th-hour class with 8G had to be set aside, as the mentor teacher needed the time to distribute exam papers. Though I couldn’t teach as planned, the day still felt meaningful because of the awareness and sensitivity I saw in the students.

7th August – Catching Up with Lessons

Routine is part of teaching, and today was a day that reminded me of its importance. I signed in at 9:00 a.m. and carried out my discipline duty as usual. My allotted period was in the 2nd  hour.It allowed me to move ahead with the lessons and feel more confident about completing the syllabus on schedule.

By 4:15 p.m., I signed out, feeling satisfied that the day had been both productive and purposeful.

8th August – A Day of Steady Progress

The rhythm of the school day provides a familiar structure, and today was a good example of that steady pace. I began with my usual morning preparations before taking my 7th-hour class with 8G. The session allowed us to move forward with the planned material, and the consistent progress felt reassuring.

It was a day that underscored the importance of simply moving forward in the syllabus. By the afternoon, I was able to wrap up my tasks for the day, concluding with a sense of quiet accomplishment. It was a productive and focused day, the kind that builds a solid foundation for the weeks ahead.

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.
