 Sixth week (27-11-23 to 01-12-23)

 I am thrilled to share my experiences from the sixth week of my B.Ed training. It was a week filled with unexpected surprises and significant events that left a lasting impact on my journey as an educator.

One of the most nerve-wracking yet enlightening experiences of the week was the unannounced observation by my college mentor, Jijan Sir. His unexpected presence in the classroom added an element of excitement and tension, but it also provided me with a valuable opportunity to showcase my teaching skills and receive constructive feedback for professional growth.

The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the exhilarating news of our school winning the overall championship trophy at the District School Kalolsav. The sense of pride and excitement that reverberated throughout the school was truly heartwarming, and it served as a reminder of the collective efforts and talents of our students and staff.

I had the opportunity to conduct a sociometry activity in the 9 D class, asking students to identify the most reliable person in the class. The activity not only fostered a sense of community and trust among students but also provided valuable insights into their perceptions and interpersonal dynamics.

Another enriching experience during the week was attending a class arranged by B.Ed trainees from another college. Titled "Peace of Mind Initiative," the session focused on child rights and mental health awareness. The class provided a thought-provoking perspective on the holistic well-being of students and reinforced the significance of addressing mental health in educational settings.

Upon my return, I conducted a remedial class focusing on punctuation marks based on the results of a diagnostic test.

It was gratifying to see the students actively participating in discussions and displaying enthusiasm for embracing a healthier lifestyle.

Punctuation pocket

       Punctuation is a crucial aspect of writing that can significantly impact the clarity and effectiveness of communication. I took a class on punctuation marks following the Direct Instruction Model of teaching on 22nd November 2023. The class was also my remedial class as I found the students suffer a lot in this topic. To enhance students understanding and. application of punctuation rule, the punctuation pocket was given as a group activity. 

       Each groups were asked to punctuate the sentences provide to them correctly. After punctuating the sentences, they have to place the sentences in the correct pocket. The group which makes maximum correct answers in less time wins the activity.
