It's a New Day, A New Month and I'm Feeling gooood.......

 

It’s a new day and a new month. We walked to the college anticipating a dull lecture but had the opposite experience. We had a very unique talk by Sri Joby Kondoor on the topic ‘Reflective Self Discovery ‘. It included a variety of activities. The activities were done to convey the following ideas:

  •  A teacher must always give clear instructions to students with room for very few or no doubts.
  • Always address a child by their given name because each name represents their likes, heritage, culture, religion etc. So, refusing to call the child by their name can hurt their feelings.
  •       Learn to say 'No' when required.
  •          When a student tells the wrong answer in class, appreciate the student for trying and then point out where he/she went wrong.
  •       Always respect the opinions and ideas of the student.
  •       Friendship is the only relationship where the following qualities - respect, understanding, care, co-operation and responsibility are always given and received in equal amounts.  


T   After the talk, we had Maya ma'am's class where we were assigned with our seminar topics and we completed our first unit 💃. The day ended with a game of  'Lion and Lamb' which took us back to our school days.

Day 30 of Online Classes

 Today the day began with Joju sir's class and the physical science association continued with their seminar. We were introduced to the software 'Hot Potatoes', which can be used to make online quizzes. If I had known this earlier I would have used it for 'Mathletics'. The topic was handled by Ancy and Gayathri of Physical science association and they did a great job. Later we had Ancy ma'am's class where we discussed about social change. Ma'am made us switch on our cameras to take a group photo. It felt good too see many faces after a long time.

A New Phase

 This week marked the beginning of teaching practice. St Mary's, Pattom is the school assigned for me. It's going to be a great opportunity and experience for all of us.The internship was supposed to start on 5th January but it was delayed by a day due to an unexpected holiday.  6th Jan 2022, It was the first day of our internship and to be honest I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had the first hour at 9J1 which was utilised to show a video on 'Social Media and its Effects'. The video was shot and shown as a part of a government initiative to create awareness of the positive and negative effects of social media. I couldn't take a class, but I got to be the tech support for the teachers. This helped me get rid of that unnecessary stress. But I had another period at 9I1 and I used this period to get to know the students, their previous knowledge etc. and also brushed some of the previously taught topics. 7th Jan 2022, Today the second batch attended school...
