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.
