In this week was very interesting and memorable days. A key moment this week was the observation session by our general teacher. It was definitely a bit overwhelming 🫣, as there’s always pressure to do well when someone is watching.🤨 But these observations have been incredibly helpful, giving us a chance to reflect and improve 📝📚. After that we signed attendance register. A room was allotted for us. My class was 8D and 8A.On the first day I had each period in Two class. Since it was the first day, I did not take any class.comfortable interaction with students make me so greatful . And the very next day I started the new chapter. In This week I have completed 2 lesson templates.  Overall it was a good weak for me😊

This week of teaching practice was a mix of observing and learning rather than teaching. I only got to take two classes since many students were busy preparing for and participating in the sub-district Kalolsavam . Even though there was less teaching, it turned out to be a week full of valuable experiences. A key moment this week was the observation session by our general teacher. It was definitely a bit overwhelming , as there’s always pressure to do well when someone is watching. But these observations have been incredibly helpful, giving us a chance to reflect and improve.Despite the stress, there was so much to learn, and the encouragement we received made it all worthwhile . This phase of practice isn’t just about teaching students—it’s also about growing as teachers and as individuals . Every experience, no matter how small, is adding to the beauty🎀 of this journey.

In week 6 of teaching practice was memorable.I take some portions in this week.This week, we had two important observations ,one by our general teacher and another by our optional teacher . It felt a little scary , but also exciting to show how much we had grown over the weeks. We were on our final days at the school 😊.       Before leaving, we wanted to share a special goodbye. We distributed ladoos 🍬 , chocolates . It was a simple gesture, but it meant a lot to them and to us. As we said our goodbyes, many of the kids looked sad  and asked when we’d come back. It was heartwarming and a bit difficult, as we’d built such a strong bond with them over these week🥹☺️  

In week 3 of teaching practice, we had a great time  teaching. but it was a busy one Between classes, there were 🎶dance practices, 🥁drum practices, and 🎤song rehearsals for the school’s youth festival, so we couldn’t teach as much as usual. Still, we managed to conduct a memory test 📋! We set up a table with random items🧸🖍️📏🧴🪁, asked the kids to observe, then tested their memories afterward. Correcting their answers was fun 😄, and the best part was handing out little prizes 🎁 after. The kids were so excited 😊.

2nd Week 🫶🏼 In week 2 of teaching practice, the real beauty of teaching came through interacting with kids.Talking with them is so rewarding, their curiosity & energy  make each day feel fresh. I take some portion in this week. And I conduct a memory test in the class 8D and 8C.These small, real moments make teaching more than a job it is truly fulfilling experience. That wrapped up our week, and it felt great to be back with the students.😊☺️

Our second phase of teaching practice started on such a positive note. And the kids were genuinely excited to see us back. I reached around 9:20AM as i was the first to reach, i collected the keys and cleaned the room as it was filled with dust. Since October 2nd was a holiday, everyone got a little mid-week break. But on the next day, we had something special planned: a Gandhi Quiz.
