I reached school 15 minutes early every day, and classes ran from 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. We also helped with the distribution of the mid-day meal, which was a fulfilling experience seeing students enjoy their food and appreciating the effort behind it. On 8th September, we checked exam papers and appreciated every student’s effort. We noticed that some students needed extra support, so we planned remedial classes for those who scored lower marks. The week was also marked by a Parents-Teachers Meeting, where we could meet parents, discuss their children’s progress, and address any concerns. Apart from these events, regular classroom activities continued smoothly. Students were attentive and curious, making teaching enjoyable. Interacting with them during lessons and activities reminded me o...

SCHOOL INTERNSHIP PHASE I (04/08/2025 – 08/08/2025) This week was filled with responsibilities and valuable experiences as a teacher. I introduced several new initiatives in my class to make learning more engaging. One such initiative was the introduction of a “Word of the Day” activity, which encouraged students to learn and use a new English word each day. Additionally, I started rewarding students with small gifts like chocolates and pens for submitting assignments on time. This idea of positive reinforcement brought noticeable changes in their attitude and motivation toward learning. The Hiroshima Day programs were conducted successfully. During the morning assembly, students made paper cranes (Zudokus) and placards promoting peace and condemning war. They also prepared class magazines for Moon Day, showcasing their creativity and teamwork. The principal announced that the best magazine would receive a special prize, which added excitement among the students. This week also in...

In my class, I continued the “Word of the Day” activity, which has now become a part of our daily routine. The students eagerly wait to learn the new word each morning and try to use it in sentences during the day.

I introduced some creative classroom activities, including group discussions and short quizzes, to make the lessons more interactive.
