In the fifth and sixth hours, I helped students from the 5th and 6th grades who struggled with reading, emphasizing the importance of individualized support. In the seventh hour, I continued the lesson on "Soil: Essential Elements,"because I can't complete the planned group discussion on microorganisms due to time constraints, the first two activities effectively facilitated student understanding. Reflecting on the day's experiences, I noted areas for improvement, including my blackboard skills, voice projection, and time management. Overall, today was marked by learning, collaboration, and a commitment to enhancing my teaching practice, and I am excited to apply these insights in future lessons to create a more engaging and supportive learning environment for my students

After the lunch break, I had substitution classes in 8D during the fifth hour, where I engaged the students in discussions about their comprehension of English vocabulary in their biology textbooks, aiming to enhance their language skills.
