Our first phase teaching practice officially began on 14 July 2025 at St. Margaret's Girls High School, Kundara. Six of us from Baselios Marthoma Mathews II Training College were assigned to this school—two each from the Mathematics, Social Science, and Physical Science departments.
Day 1: A New Beginning at St. Margaret’s
The first day of our teaching practice at St. Margaret’s Girls High School, Kundara was filled with excitement and a little nervousness. We reached the school by 9:00 AM and signed the register. The school assembly started at 9:20 AM with a prayer, pledge, and national anthem.
Since it was the first day, we were given substitution classes to observe and interact. Seating arrangements for us were made in the school laboratory, which served as our resting and preparation space.There was a prayer before lunch at 12:15 PM, followed by a second prayer before the afternoon session at 1:00 PM. During the fifth period, I had a substitution class in 8D, where I introduced myself and interacted briefly with the students. I was also assigned another class in 8B later. The school day concluded with the national anthem at 3:45 PM, after which we signed the register and returned home.
Day 2: First Official Lesson in Chemistry
We began the second day of teaching practice just like the first—arriving by 9:00 AM, signing in, and attending the school assembly at 9:20 AM. Today was special for me because I had my first official class during the third hour (11:00 AM) in 8B. I taught the topic "Molecules" from the Chemistry unit Elements and Compounds. The class went on till 11:40 AM, and it was a great experience delivering a structured lesson. We also helped with noon meal serving from 12:15 PM onwards. After lunch, I had a substitution class in 8D, where the students introduced themselves.There were no other classes allotted to me today. After the national anthem at 3:45 PM, we signed out and returned home.
Day 3: First Physics Class and Meal Duty
On the third day, we followed the usual routine—reaching school by 9:00 AM, attending the assembly at 9:20 AM, and beginning classes at 9:30 AM. Our noon meal duty began at 12:15 PM, and today’s meal included egg. As per school tradition, there were prayers before and after lunch. I had only one class today, which was the eighth period (3:05 PM - 3:45 PM) in 8D. I taught the topic "Force" from the Physics unit Motion and Force. The class was engaging and interactive.After the final national anthem, we completed our register sign-out and returned home.
Day 4: Handling Two Subjects in a Day
We reached school at 9:00 AM and attended the usual morning assembly with a prayer, pledge, and national anthem. There were no classes allotted to me in the morning session. At 12:15 PM, we assisted in serving the noon meal, followed by prayers before and after lunch. During the 5th period (1:00 PM), I taught Contact and Non-Contact Force in 8D as part of the Physics unit Motion and Force. In the 7th period (2:25–3:05 PM), I handled a Chemistry class in 8B on the topic Atom from the unit Elements and Compounds. Today, milk was also distributed to the students by teachers. The school day ended with the national anthem at 3:45 PM, after which we signed out and returned home.
Day 5: A Day Without Classes
Today, a student union strike was declared, so no regular classes were held. Still, we reported to the school by 9:00 AM and signed the register. Since there were no classroom sessions, we used the day for preparation and completing assigned tasks at school. At around 3:30 PM, we signed out and returned home.
