We reached the school by 9:30 a.m., signed the attendance register, and seated ourselves in the allotted staffroom. I didn’t have any class during the first period. In the second period, I had a substitution in my concerned class 8B and taught the topic “Five Kingdom Classification and Its Advantages.” During the third period, I supervised the students’ dance practice.

During lunch break, we served lunch to the students. After lunch, Aiswarya and I taught a group song to the 3rd standard students for the upcoming Kalolsavam. We also discussed with the UP teacher about deciding the costumes, makeup, and accessories for their performance. After the national anthem, the school dispersed, and once all students had left, we also signed the attendance register and left the school.

I didn’t have any class during the first period. In the second period, I had a class with 9B and taught the topic “Different Excretory Organs in Man and Their Functions.”

During the fourth period, I got a substitution in 6B. At lunch break, we served lunch to the students. In the sixth period, I distributed my questionnaire to collect data for my project among 9th standard adolescent girls. During the eighth period, I got a substitution in 8A and gave the notes provided by the teacher. After the national anthem, the school dispersed, and after signing the attendance register, we left for the day.

We reached school by 9:30 a.m. and signed the attendance register. In the first period, I had class with 8B and taught the topic “Kingdom Monera with Examples.” Since there was a strike, no regular classes were conducted, and students left by 11:00 a.m.

Some students remained in school for practice sessions, which we supervised. Later, the teachers and we student-teachers decided to prepare tapioca together — it turned out to be a fun experience! We cleaned, peeled, and cut the tapioca, boiled it, and shared it along with curry. By 3:00 p.m., we signed the attendance register and left school.

We reached school by 9:30 a.m. and signed the attendance register. In the first period, I had class with 8B and taught the topic “Kingdom Protista – Features and Examples.” During the third and fourth periods, I taught songs to the 3rd standard students for the upcoming Kalolsavam.

In the fifth period, I had class with 9B and taught “Synthesis of Ammonia and Urea and the Elimination of Urea.” During the seventh period, I collected data for my project from 9th standard adolescent girls. After the national anthem, the school dispersed, and we signed the attendance register and left.

Day 19 – Friday, October 31st, 2025

As usual, we reached school by 9:30 a.m. and signed the attendance register. Since the District Level Science Fest began today, regular classes were not held for standards 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9. In the first period, I had class with my concerned class 8B and conducted a Diagnostic Test. The students were surprised but performed well.

During the second and third periods, I had substitutions in 10B. As the inauguration of the Girls-Friendly Hi-Tech Toilet Complex was taking place, I was asked to take some videos and photos of the building for official use. In the fourth period, I had a substitution in 8C.

During lunch break, we served lunch to the students and then had our lunch. After lunch, there were no regular classes. The inauguration ceremony started by 2:30 p.m., during which Adithya, an 8th standard student selected for the National Level Competition, was presented with a memento by the Panchayat President. After signing the attendance register, we left the school for the day.

CURRICULAR AND CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

In this week, students of 8B and 9B were taught the topics “Five Kingdom Classification and Its Advantages,” “Different Excretory Organs in Man and Their Functions,” “Kingdom Monera – Features and Examples,” “Kingdom Protista – Features and Examples,” “Synthesis of Ammonia and Urea and Elimination of Urea,” and a Diagnostic Test was conducted for 8B. Several substitution classes were also handled in 6B, 8A, 8C, and 10B, where students were engaged in reading and short discussions.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

During this week, preparations for the Sub-District Kalolsavam were actively going on. I helped in training 3rd standard students in group songs and discussed their costumes and makeup with the UP teacher. I also supervised dance and drama practices, assisted in the District Level Science Fest, and was assigned to take videos and photographs of the Girls-Friendly Hi-Tech Toilet Complex inauguration. Daily, we served lunch to students and assisted in practice sessions and supervision duties.

OVERALL REFLECTION ON CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE

This week’s experience was both academic and eventful. The classes went smoothly, and students showed good participation and understanding of the topics. Conducting the diagnostic test helped me evaluate students’ progress and identify areas for improvement. Participating in Kalolsavam practices, Science Fest, and other school events helped me understand the teacher’s wider role beyond classroom teaching. Overall, it was a fruitful and enriching week that strengthened my teaching confidence, classroom management, and teamwork skills.

  RAISING AWARENESS ON INTERNATIONAL EPILEPSY DAY On February 12, 2025, Sabarigiri College of Education celebrated International Epilepsy Day, a global event aimed at raising awareness about epilepsy. The program began with Arathi as the anchor, welcoming everyone and setting the tone for the day’s activities. Aparna delivered an insightful speech, explaining epilepsy as a neurological condition that affects people of all ages and backgrounds, making them prone to recurrent seizures. She highlighted the importance of awareness and support for those living with the condition. The event included a powerful awareness play, performed by Pooja, Muhsina, Arya, Akshaya, Nuju, Ameena, and Aparna. The play depicted the dos and don’ts when witnessing an epileptic seizure.

  TEACHING PRACTICE WEEK 4 : Monday (04/08/2025) to Friday (08/08/2025) REFLECTION ON SCHOOL EXPERIENCE 04/08/2025-Day 17 On the 17th day of my first phase of teaching practice, I reached the school by 9:00 am. After reporting to the office and signing the attendance register, I took up my assigned discipline duty in the High School section. Following the morning prayer, we settled in our allotted rooms. Since it was Monday, I did not have any subject hours scheduled. A little later, my concerned subject teacher, Renija Miss, entrusted me with the responsibility of completing the attendance register and the Noon Feeding attendance register for her class. This task was a new learning experience for me, as I wasn’t previously aware that a separate register existed specifically for noon feeding attendance. I successfully completed both registers. During the third period, I observed my peer teacher trainee’s class for 8th standard students. Overall, it was a good session. The teacher u...

VISIT TO BUDS SCHOOL – A HEARTWARMING EXPERIENCE January 30,2025 As part of our NSS activities, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit Buds School at Alayamon Panchayat. It was an enriching and entertaining experience that left a lasting impression on all of us. We, a group of 43 NSS volunteers along with our teachers Jaseena Miss, Sreedevi Miss, and Prathibha Miss, traveled to the school . We reached the school at 10:30 AM and were warmly welcomed by the students and teachers. Due to space constraints, we arranged the seating outside, ensuring a comfortable setup for all. Our friend Aravind introduced us to the students, and soon we learned about their remarkable achievements. Many of them had participated in Kalolsavam and won great honors, proving their exceptional talents. The program began with a song performance by one of the students, which we all enjoyed and applauded. One student, Appu, was very active and energetic, not worrying about his disabilities.  Some small ch...
