Second Phase Teaching Practice Week 1 St Mary's HSS Pattom

Day 1 - June 14 2023 Wednesday 

The second phase teaching practice started on June 14 2023 Wednesday. We were a group of three student teachers from English optional. Arya Krishna, Shilpa Krishnan B and myself had come over to the school last week to meet our respective teachers in charge of the alloted classes so as to get our portions and time-table. 

I had class at VIII-U during the fifth hour. After introducing myself and creating a rapport creation, I started the lesson 'The Boy Who Drew Cats' by giving a brief introduction on folktales. 

The first day was definitly new- NEW surroundings, NEW faces and NEW rules. And it of course takes time to adjust to the new situation. The first day was hectic with running to and forth to settle down and it was difficul. By the end of the day we were tired and completly out. 

Day 2 - June 15 2023, Thursday

The second day was much better than the first. We had certain duties at school like discipline duty, vegatable cutting duty and noon meal duty. I had class during the fifth period and taught the next portion of the lesson. 

Day 3 - June 16 2023, Friday

Blessing Ceremony of the School by Most Rev. Cardinal Cleemis. Had substituition duty and later class during the sixth period at Class VII-U.
