Anecdotes from My B.Ed Life.

On June 26th, International Day Against Drug Abuse was celebrated. A quiz competition was conducted by me and my fellow teacher trainee. Two students stood out and were selected as the winners of the quiz competition. I also conducted a vocabulary dictation test in my 9B class. The students participated actively. To motivate them further, I promised chocolates to the top scorers. 4 of them were selected.

During the second week, we celebrated National Reading Week with various activities. On June 19th, students delivered speeches about the importance of reading. Students read extracts from English, Malayalam and Arabic books. I prepared Hanna from 9 B to speak about the English book 'The Good Earth'.  Students showed their creativity through poster-making and charts for the day. A quiz competition was organized on June 20th. It was conducted by myself and fellow teacher trainee, Aisha. Two students from 8 A were selected as the winners of the quiz. Then on June 22nd,National Yoga Day was celebrated. We started with a brief introduction about the importance of Yoga in our daily life.  Students performed a variety of yoga poses. The session included basic poses like the Chakrasana Trikonasana, Baddha Konasana, Vrikshasana, Shavasana etc.  I, along with Aisha And PT Miss, guided the students through each pose. The students participated actively.   

  This week marked the beginning of my second phase of school internship at P K K H S S, Kayamkulam. I was assigned in Class 9 B, whom I taught in Class 8 during my first phase of school internship. They were really happy to see me back and were full of energy. On the first day, I didn't teach, instead I talked to students about how their vacations went and did a word game activity too.  From the second day onwards, I began to teach. It was a short story titled ' Half A Day' and dealt with a boy going to school for the first time in his life. I asked the students to recollect their first- day- in-school memories and slowly led them to the lesson. I made the class as active and interactive as possible. In the afternoon, my co-teacher trainee and me distributed mid-day meals to students.
