The Last Week

On 02/08/2023 Wednesday I announced the date of achievement test. A student from VI. C, Safna, gifted me a paper flower which she made herself. I finished the chapter 'The little Round Red House' this week thus completing all my portions. Thursday We had a revision of the portions for the test. On Friday sixth period I conducted the achievement test. The students were seated according to their roll numbers. Four students were absent and twenty nine were present. On Monday, I conducted the post-test for my project. I checked the answer sheets and found out that most of the children has a tremendous progress.

8/8/2023, Tuesday was the last day of the teaching practice. All of us said goodbye to the institution where we spent the last two months, teaching and at the same time learning from the students. I am so grateful for this opportunity. It was an unforgettable day of my life. The students bought us all, small gifts such as candies and pens. Many did paper crafts and gifted it to us as a memory. I got some feed backs from my students and they told me that they will miss me a lot. It was a wonderful day. I showed them my innovative teaching materials about 'Degrees of Comparison' and 'Synonyms-Antonyms'.

'Synonyms-Antonyms' was my innovative teaching material from third semester. I decided to show the students, this one, because they were not able to understand the topics. It was difficult for them to understand what a synonym was. I noted this from the achievement test. Most of them had doubts about one particular question which asked them to write the synonym of the given word.

'Degree of Comparison is my fourth semester's innovative teaching material. I had already taught them the concept. I used this teaching aid to give a more clear idea and to use it as a worksheet. I asked them to read the words given in all three degrees of comparison and add more adjectives to it. It turned out to be a language exercise.

Later in the evening, a staff meeting was called for which we were also invited. The teachers of Mount Tabor G.H.S thanked us for our service and we explained our immense gratitude in helping us to successfully complete our teaching practice.

 

New Week, New Chapter.

 The new week started with a new chapter- " The Little Round Red House" written by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey. I also had many substitution periods in the class VI.C, where I had to teach Malayalam. I had started the language activities for my project in VIII.H and it's been going great so far. 29/07/2023, Saturday was also a working day with Friday's timetable. This week ended with some great performances from my students. As part of the language activities I have been conducting, the students were given scripts and asked to read the dialogues with appropriate emotions according to the punctuation given. Rather than just reading they presented it as a play, scene by scene.

But I got a substitution period in VII.D and I engaged them in a little activity enabling them to understand more about 'sentences'.  The next day there was a strike and therefore no classes. After Saturday and Sunday, the school reopened on Monday. 26th June 2023, Monday was celebrated as International Day against drug abuse in the morning assembly. Tuesday again there was a strike.
