📝Third Week of Teaching Practice – PHASE I(July 28 – August 1, 2025)
This week marked one of the busiest phases of our teaching practice so far. With a full week of classes, observation sessions from our college faculty, and extra responsibilities at school, it was both a demanding and rewarding experience. Each day brought with it opportunities to grow — not only as a teacher, but also as a team member, mentor, and learner.
✨July 28, 2025 – Serving with Purpose
The week began with a flurry of activity. The school had organized an eye check-up camp, and we, the teacher trainees, volunteered during the first half of the day to help coordinate and assist. It was a meaningful experience to be part of something that directly supported student well-being.
During the lunch break, we took part in the Mid-Day Meal Programme by serving food to the students — a gesture that helped build closer connections with them.afternoon was filled with exam duties and substitution. Despite the day's busyness, I felt accomplished and connected both in and out of the classroom.
👩🏾🏫July 29, 2025 – Under the Eyes That Guide
This day had us all a little nervous — it was our physical science optional observation day. Our optional teacher and general teacher visited to observe and assess our classes. Hanan took her session during the second period, followed by mine in the third period, and Parvathy's during the fourth.
Though I felt a wave of nervousness just before starting, I centered myself with a moment of quiet confidence. Once I stepped into the classroom, everything fell into place. The session went smoothly, and the students responded with interest and cooperation. Afterward, our teacher provided constructive feedback, offering helpful suggestions and motivating us with her kind words. It was a day of growth, and one I’ll remember as a turning point in my teaching journey.

🌿July 31, 2025 – Going Beyond the Plan
While our peers from the English options had their observation classes, the rest of us handled regular and substitution periods. I had a free third period that time I used to writes my pending records and daily reflection .
🌧️August 1, 2025 – Rain, Rhythm, and Reflection
The week came to a peaceful close under cloudy skies and gentle rain. The calm weather seemed to echo a sense of quiet confidence that had built up over the days. I was given substitution responsibilities.
By the end of the week, exhaustion blended with a deep sense of satisfaction. Whether through observation, substitutions, or the simple act of sharing a lunch break with students, I found meaning in each moment. The challenges were real, but so was the growth.
