🗓️ Fourth Week of Teaching Practice – PHASE I (August 4–8, 2025)


The fourth week of teaching practice was an engaging blend of academic responsibilities and school-based duties. From managing substitution classes to assisting with PTA meetings and the Mid-Day Meal Programme, every day added a layer of real-world experience to our
 training.

📝August 4, 2025 – Reflection and Reinforcement

As the week began, the day quickly turned hectic with back-to-back substitution periods across Classes V to IX. Despite the packed schedule, I managed to take my allotted class during the sixth period. Since I had already completed the first chapter, I used this time to engage students in post-lesson activities, reinforcing key takeaways. The school concluded at 4:00 p.m., marking the end of a demanding but productive day.

🍲August 5, 2025 – Serving and Sharing Knowledge

The second day continued with multiple substitutions, adding to the usual rhythm of school life. I had my regular class during the fourth period, where I provided notes to the students to support their understanding of the chapter. In addition, we participated in serving lunch as part of the Mid-Day Meal Programme. All together, it was a good day and the school concluded at 4:00 p.m.

✨August 6, 2025 – Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead

On Wednesday, alongside substitution duties, I had my regular class during the seventh period. I  introduced new chapter 'pressure' by providing the notes, helping to consolidate the students’ understanding of the topics . It was satisfying to complete the  topic 'pressure' with clarity and ensure students were well-prepared to move forward. The day ended as usual at 4:00 p.m.

📚August 7, 2025 – Teaching Amidst PTA Duties

Today was PTA day for Classes VIII and IX, which brought additional administrative responsibilities. We guided parents to their venues, managed meeting logistics, and helped record minutes. Despite the busyness, I had my third-period class and an additional free period during the fourth hour, which I utilized to introduce a new chapter and complete two lesson plans. The day was a balanced mix of classroom engagement and school service.



👩🏾‍🏫August 8, 2025 – A Day of Progress and Purpose



The week wrapped up with another PTA day—this time for Class X. Along with our usual substitution duties, we assisted in organizing the meeting and later helped serve lunch under the Mid-Day Meal Programme. I had my regular class during the third period and used a free fourth period to continue with the new chapter, 'Elements and compounds' progressing through a few more topics in elements and compounds Before the day ended, we coordinated student dispersal to ensure a smooth close to the school day.




This week offered a comprehensive look into the multitasking life of a teacher. From lesson delivery and content reinforcement to administrative participation in PTA meetings and meal programs, each day provided valuable lessons in responsibility, flexibility, and time management. These experiences have not only enhanced my confidence in the classroom but also deepened my understanding of the wider role educators play in shaping and supporting the school community.

As a B.Ed. teacher trainee, one of the most awaited milestones in our course is Teaching Practice —the moment when we step into real classrooms, not as students, but as teachers. That moment finally arrived for me on July 16, 2025. I was allotted to St. Johns Higher Secondary School , Mattom, along with six fellow trainees. Our group included:  Hannan, and Parvathy S. Kumar and myself from the physical science option.Amrutha , Aiswarya N, Leshmipriya from English option  and Aiswarya Sivan from Natural Science option. We reached the school filled with excitement, nervousness, and high hopes. 🗓️ Day 1: A Whirlwind Start The first day was packed with substitution periods. From Classes 5 to 9, we found ourselves moving in and out of classrooms, filling in wherever needed. Though it was hectic, it gave us a chance to observe the students, get familiar with the school environment, and experience the unpredictability of teaching. It was an amazing experience, full of new learnings ...

On the morning of April 27, we arrived at the misty hill station of Kodaikanal. The serene landscapes and cool climate refreshed us instantly. We visited the famous Kodaikanal Lake, enjoyed cycling and boating, and explored breathtaking spots like the Guna Caves and the surrounding mountains. Nature was at its best, and we soaked in every view. In the evening, we gathered for a lively campfire, where music, dance, and laughter brought us all closer. We stayed the night in Kodaikanal, cherishing the warmth of friendship and the chill of the hills.
