Teaching Practice 1- Week 7

Just like that teaching practise has come to an end. 7 weeks just flew by with works and more importantly experiences. Since, I had a ligament tear in my knee, I went to the school only on Friday (18th Feb). Friday was the last day of our teaching practice. Since, 9th standard students were following a special timetable I thought I wouldn't get a chance to say goodbye to my students. But luck was on my side and I got almost 2 hours at the class. Only the first batch had come in but we did a few problems, discussed the diagnostic and achiement test questions and gave them remedial teaching. In the evening at 8 I had online class and I got to say goodbye to the rest of the students.

Also, today Benedict sir had come to visit us at school, but few of us had substitution class and we couldn't take a picture with sir. Before leaving, Fr Babu, the principal, and headmaster Bijo sir gave us wished us all the best and we presented them with gifts to show our gratitude. We all left after taking a group photo in front of the school.

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.

On 19th May 2021 the first class was Deepthi ma'am's and we discussed about 'Pedagogy'.

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...
