The workshop was insightful, and we received valuable input on improving our lesson plans.

23rd September 2024 – First Day at SKVVVHSS, Thrikkannamangal

The first day of my teaching practice started with the morning assembly. After the assembly, I met with my mentor teacher to discuss my class assignments. I was given permanent responsibility for Class 8C and 9C. My peer, Christina from the Natural Science department, was assigned Classes 9A and 8B. Additionally, Aswathy from the Mathematics department was assigned 8C, and Devika was given 9C. The day was filled with numerous substitution hours, and I also assisted in serving lunch at noon. I left the school at 3:45 PM.

24th September 2024 – First Class in 8C

I taught my first official class in my permanent class, 8C. Apart from that, I managed several substitution classes, which gave me more opportunities to engage with students and get accustomed to the school environment

25th September 2024 – Sports Day

After the usual assembly, the school hosted its Sports Day. The students were filled with excitement and energy, and the day was dedicated to various sports activities and competitions. It was a lively event and a great chance for me to observe how extracurricular activities are managed.

26th September 2024 – First Class in 9 C

During the 4th hour, I conducted my first class in 9 C. It was a new experience to engage with older students, and I found the class challenging yet fulfilling. The rest of the day was filled with more substitution classes across different sections.

27th September 2024 – Maths and Social Science Fair

After the morning assembly, I once again had a day filled with substitution classes. However, the 6th and 7th hours were particularly engaging as the school conducted a Maths and Social Science fair. The students displayed their projects and models, and it was wonderful to see their creativity and hard work on full display.

28th September 2024 – Workshop at BMMTC, Kottarakkara+ week end reflection

On Saturday, we had a workshop at Baselios Marthoma Mathews II College of Teacher Education (BMMTC), Kottarakkara, which took place from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM.From 3.00- 3.30 PM our optional teacher distributed our lesson plans and provided guidance on common mistakes we had made. From 3:30 to 4:20 PM, we had a weekend reflection session in the Natural Science option class, where students shared their experiences from the past week in their respective schools. It was a reflective and meaningful session as we all learned from each other’s experiences.

This first week was a whirlwind of activities, new responsibilities, and learning moments. The transition into teaching practice was both exciting and enlightening, and I look forward to the weeks ahead.
