                             TEACHING

The first week was from 21/07/2025-26/07/2025

                   

The first week of teacher training was filled with fresh experiences and growing confidence. It began with a special assembly related to Chandrayaan Day, and I helped with the arrangements—an involvement that made me feel connected to the school environment from the start. The real turning point, however, was stepping into the classroom for the first time. Teaching felt both exciting and challenging, but the students' warmth and willingness to engage quickly put me at ease.

During the week, a holiday was observed as a mark of respect following the demise of former Chief Minister Sri V.S. Achuthanandan. The short pause offered a moment of reflection, after which I returned to teaching with greater ease and clarity. Interacting with the students and witnessing their curiosity helped me find my rhythm.

                               The week came to an end with a sense of satisfaction and steady progress. Each class helped me grow more confident, and the students’ active participation made the experience truly enjoyable. From helping with school activities to teaching key concepts in chemistry, this week gave me a strong and encouraging start to my journey as a teacher.
