WEEK 09 OF TEACHING PRACTICE


Date: 22/9/25 - 25/9/25

This week was a whirlwind of activity. As always, I had my allotted classes and extra substitution hours. On Tuesday, I had my second class observation by our optional teacher during the 5th period with Class 9A, where I taught a new poem using charts and ICT tools. The teacher observed the class and later provided valuable suggestions to improve my teaching methods. On Wednesday, the Science Fair and IT Fest took place, and I was assigned to monitor the students. Thursday was a regular class day.
Friday was planned to conduct the youth festival but Friday was declared as a holiday because of the rainy weather condition. The principal informed that the youth festival is postponed to Friday. This week helped me experience both academic and co-curricular responsibilities in balance. Overall, it gave me new insights into handling unexpected changes in the school schedule.

Finally, I summarized the key points.

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, marked the fourth day of SAMANWAYAM. The day began with a mesmerizing sunrise viewing at the horizon. We then visited Eknath Ranade and Vivekananthapuram, gaining valuable insights. Our team, Bougainville, took on the responsibility of the Programme and Isai Nila Committee under the guidance of Bindya Ma'am, and I had the honour of delivering the vote of thanks for the program. The day featured an engaging session, "A Trigger to Mind's Eye," conducted by Vinod Santhipuram, India's leading mentalist, which left many students amazed by the power of mentalism. We also visited Thiruvalluvar and his heritage, Vivekananda Rock, and explored its mathematical implications. The day concluded with the vibrant cultural program "Isai Nila," which showcased the talents of  students, leaving everyone spellbound and eager for more.It was an enjoyable experience for both students and teachers.
