When Theory Paves Way for Actual Practice..

       It was our first day of teaching practice. I was allotted to NSS GHS Pandalam for practice teaching.  As it was my first day in school in the garb of a teacher, a feeling of excitement mixed with a little bit tension gripped my heart. Moreover, the quick transition from student life to that of a responsible and reliable teacher was a real pressure.

     As the school arts fest is scheduled next week, the students seemed to be in a state of excitement. Many of them were rehearsing for competition. I had to take class for VIII B students during the fourth period. As it was my first day with them, I introduced myself and let them introduce themselves to me. The students seemed interested in building a rapport with me. I began the third unit of the English Course Book "Seeds and Deeds" and gave a general introduction to its themes before proceeding to the lesson.

Some students of the school have also organized a Science Fair today. As we went there, they beautifully explained the details of the various models and charts displayed there. Thus, the first day turned out to be a memorable one that makes me eagerly wait for more teaching and learning experiences.
