Weekly Summary (July 28 – August 1)
This week combined exam duties, regular teaching, and special events. We reached school by 9:15 a.m. and left by 3:50 p.m. every day. We also assisted in serving the mid-day meal daily, which helped us connect more closely with the students. In academics, I taught various topics using ICT and chart.
In addition to teaching, we participated in co-curricular activities like the Science Quiz and special assemblies. The session with Abhilash Sir was especially inspiring as it highlighted the importance of communication and social awareness. Overall, the week gave me opportunities to improve my teaching, manage responsibilities, and actively take part in school life.
