We were instructed to arrive at school by 7.30 AM to dress up the students for various events before the flag hoisting at 8.30 AM. There were students dressed up representing different states for the program 'Unity in Diversity' and students dressed as freedom fighters for the program 'With the Leaders'. Most of them showed up late at 8 AM and all of us our efforts with the timely help from the parents made it possible to start the rally on time. After the rally, students assembled at the auditorium for the scheduled program. Dr Saju of the Chemistry department of Mar Ivanios College was the chief guest. All the planned programs went well, even though it was planned at the last moment.

It has been a while since we have come to school on a Tuesday. HM has allowed us a few more days to complete our pending work. This news came as a relief as I had a few more problems to finish at 9C. Also, we have our conscientization program pending to be done. As usual, I had classes at 9C and 8D. I have one more section to complete at 8D before their Onam exams. Students seem to be showing more interest in geometry than algebra.
Since most of the teachers had gone to a funeral, we were given substitution periods in various classes. I had substitution at 5D. Students were asked to introduce themselves and tell their ambitions. Most of them wanted to be police officers and wanted to join the military. One that caught my attention was a student's wish to become an Archaeologist which is a word you rarely hear from a 10-year-old. Little Vignesh had to explain who an archaeologist was and I must say he did not randomly pick up that word but had done enough homework to know what the job entails. I had asked students to draw a pattern or anything using geometric shapes and students were overflowing with ideas. I'm glad that I got that period at 5D.
I got to teach at 9A for two periods. I introduced the chapter 'New Numbers' and did a few problems. Gopika and Sreevineetha accompanied me to help me manage the class. Also, I finally got time to do my project work at 9E today. Students were very cooperative and interactive which made the work more fun.

Today we conducted our Conscientization program at 9C. The idea behind the topic was given by Sr. Jeena. In a limited time, we pulled off a short program on 'Stress Management'. I completed all of my LP's today.

It's almost the weekend. Today's schedule was packed. I had classes at 8D, 9C and 10A. The class at 10A was totally unexpected and I had to make quick preparations. 10A were doing problems from 'Second Degree Equations' which was a comparatively easier topic to prepare. Also, I took the diagnostic test at 8D today.
