  Last week of our teaching practice and the most saddest among the other days. On monday claases were only till noon, later there was a PTA general body meeting. When we learned, that we felt really sad, since it was the last week.  On 31st January, I entered the school as usual early, but on the day I really felt sad and feel like talking to my children for eternity.  Eventhough I had only spend three months there, it was the first time that I was teaching an entire class, that too for such a long period.  The students are really special to me, and I will never forget them. I know them really well, their mood swings, frustration,  their joy and much more. As the bell rang I moved to my respective classes and gave them my wishes with some goodies. I talked to them for the entire hour and bid farewell to them.

  This week was the most crucial week. During this week I had completed the portions of both the classes and gave them notes too. Devika Ma'am came for our observation during the same week. Afterwards I had conducted the diagnostic test and achievement test accordingly in my 8 E class. Then I had conducted Innovativd Work on Phrasal Verbs in the class. As the part of m Innovative Work,  I gave them notes regarding the ten Phrasal Verbs and their meanings. Then on the next day I split the entire class into five groups. And they were pictures which were associated with the meanings of Phrasal Verbs. At first I made them identify the Phrasal Verb with the picture and later they were asked to construct sentences with the phrasal verbs. Children were enthusiastic and they wholeheartedly participated in the innovative work, and contributed their part.  In this week, on 24th January,  there was a heavy rainfall at the afternoon. Since it was the lunch break time, children w...

  This week was completely utilized for gearimg up with the portions. In 8E class Itook the chapter Solitude as well as started The Merchant of Venice. I enjoyed teaching them the chapter The Merchant of Venice,  the pupils were really curious about yhe plot, twist and the climax of the chapter. They were keenly involved during the period and shown there great interest towards the chapter.  I was very much satisfied by the way I took the class and was able to incorporate several teaching aids for the clear study of the chapter.  In 9D things were slow paced, since they had small chapters, I took The Trio for them during this week. In 9C class I took the chapter The Trio for my evaluation by my in-charge teacher, Ambili Teacher. Itwas during this week that we started to do the noon meal duty together. We were able to bind a greater bond with each and every staff of the school along with the cook ammuma. She really adore us and we were very much attached to one another...

  Conscientization Programme conducted by five of is was the highlight of this week. The topic chosen by us was Personal Hygiene.  We had split the portion among us and prepared accordingly for the presentation.  The Conscientization Programme on Personal Hygiene was held on 9th January, at the seminar hall.

  The school reopened after the Christmas vacation on 4th January 2023. New year with new responsibilities awaited us with new units to be taken and classes to be continued.  This month is going to be very special for each one of us, since we were entering into our last month of teaching practice.  The days flew away since we came here. In this week I started my regular classes at 8 E nd 9 D. In 8E I took, The School for Sympathy and in 9D I took The Happiness Machine. And before we leave,  we should complete the portions and should prepare the children for their final exams.  The coming will definitely be hectic as we as emotional, since we are starting to miss the place and people.
