The second phase of our school internship started on 14th June 2023. We were assigned to Mount Tabor GHS, Pathanapuram. There are 5 teacher trainees from English optional in the school- Ashna Ann Varghese, Geethu Chandran, Nithya Mohan, Sivakavya.A.S and Smitha Sathyan. Other optional, part of the internship in the same school are Mathematics and Physical Science. The teacher/guide assigned to me is Mrs. Sreena J.S and the class is VIII H. There are a total of 33 students in my class.
On the first day, I started with the second chapter of the first unit.
Unit 1: HUES AND VIEWS
Chapter: The Boy Who Drew Cats (prose)- Hasegawa Takejiro
I completed the chapter in 5 classes and started the next chapter today. The new chapter is a poem written by Rabindranath Tagore.
Chapter 2: Taj Mahal (poem)- Rabindranath Tagore.
I got many substitution classes other than my assigned ones in between. On those periods I could engage the students in many recreational activities, during which I observed their talents and skills.
On 19th June 2023 we celebrated National Reading Day in the assembly. The day marks the death anniversary of P.N.Panicker, who is famously known as the Father of the Library Movement in Kerala Grandhashala Sangham that triggered a popular cultural movement in Kerala that produced universal literacy in the state in the 1990s.
One day on a substitution period I went to 5th standard and walked into two little darlings tidying up their classroom.
