TEACHING PRACTICE (SEPTEMBER 29 - OCTOBER 10)

Completed the remaining portions of the prescribed chapters for class 8. During these two weeks, I conducted achievement test and Diagnostic test, which helped in assessing students’ learning levels. Based on the results, I provided remedial classes for students who needed additional support and reinforcement.

The school was actively preparing for the School Kalolsavam — Nadanam 2025, and we assisted students in refining their items for various competitions. As part of the event, we were also assigned responsibilities to judge certain cultural programmes, giving us a new perspective on evaluating co-curricular performances. Throughout the Kalolsavam days, we carried out discipline duties and closely monitored students to ensure the smooth conduct of all events.

With the conclusion of these activities, my 40 days of teaching practice — the first phase — officially came to an end, bringing valuable teaching experiences, classroom exposure, and memorable moments with students and teachers.
