DAY - 14

24 November 2025

Today marked my 14th day of teaching practice at NGPM, Venchempu, and it was one of those days that reminds me exactly why I chose this path. I reached the school by 9:15 AM, just in time to hear the students lead a beautiful prayer at 9:35 AM. There is a certain stillness in those few minutes that perfectly sets the stage for the busy day ahead.

My main session today was during the 6th period with Class VIII.C, where we dived into a brand-new chapter: Circle Measures. We focused specifically on the diameter, and I was thrilled to see how well the students responded. Instead of just taking notes, they engaged actively in group discussions and hands-on activities. Seeing their enthusiasm and genuine interest in solving problems throughout the class made the lesson feel like a real success.

The later part of the day provided some much-needed free periods, which I used to focus on self-reflection and the "behind-the-scenes" work of teaching. I spent that time preparing detailed lesson plans and creative teaching aids for my upcoming classes to ensure I keep this momentum going. By the time the final bell rang at 3:40 PM and I signed out, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. It was a productive, heart-filling day in the classroom.

DAY - 15

25 November 2025

November 25, 2025, marked the 15th day of my teaching practice at NGPM, Venchempu, and it was a day defined by a mix of steady routine and significant milestones. The morning began with a substitution period for class V.C. I used the time to engage the students with their Social Science texts, instructing them to read through the material before following up with a series of questions to gauge their understanding. It was a productive start that set a focused tone for the hours ahead.

The highlight of the day arrived during the 6th period at 2:05 PM. This was when I conducted my first formal Diagnostic Test. I chose to focus on "Changing Ratios" from the larger Ratios chapter. It was incredibly encouraging to see the students tackle the problems with confidence; most of them answered the questions correctly, which gave me a great sense of relief and pride in their progress.

As the afternoon wound down, I took on another substitution, this time with class IX.A. Similar to the morning session, we focused on Social Science, and the students were attentive as they read and responded to my questions. By the time 3:40 PM rolled around, I signed out for the day and left the school, feeling a quiet satisfaction in the steady growth I’m seeing in both my students and my own teaching journey.

DAY - 16

26 November 2025

Today was the 16th day of my teaching practice at NGPM, Venchempu, and it was a day that perfectly illustrated the need for both flexibility and preparation in a school setting. I arrived at 9:15 am, and the morning began on a peaceful note with the school prayer at 9:35 am.

The morning hours required a quick pivot, as I was assigned substitution duty for the first and second periods in 8:B and VIII:C. Rather than seeing this as a disruption, I used the time to keep the students focused, directing them toward their English texts to ensure their time remained productive. Following this, I had three free periods which I utilized as an "engine room" for my work—refining my lesson templates and organizing teaching materials for my upcoming classes.

The real highlight arrived during the 6th period at 2:05 pm with class VIII:C. We delved into the topic of "Chords" from the Circles chapter. It was incredibly rewarding to watch the learners' interest grow as they navigated the problems. Seeing that "lightbulb moment" in real-time is easily the most fulfilling part of this journey.

I spent the final period in quiet self-reflection before the bell rang at 3:40 pm. Signing out for the day, I felt a deep sense of progress—not just in the lessons taught, but in the growth I'm seeing in my students and myself.

DAY - 17

27 November 2025

Today marked the 17th day of my teaching practice at NGPM VenchemPU, and it was a day of steady progress and thoughtful preparation. My morning began at 9:15 am, providing a quiet window to settle in before the energy of the school day fully took hold. Since I didn’t have a class during the first period, I used that time to gather my thoughts and organize my materials for the lessons ahead.

The instructional part of my day kicked off during the second period at 10:30 am. I dived into the topic of "Lines and Circles" from the Circles chapter. It’s a fascinating subject to teach because it bridges simple visual concepts with deeper geometric logic. Watching the students engage with the relationship between these shapes is always a highlight of the math curriculum.

Following that session, I had several free periods, but the day stayed dynamic when I was assigned a substitution during the 6th period for class 8C. This turned out to be a great opportunity to reinforce the morning’s lesson, as I was able to teach the continuation of the "Lines and Circles" portion. Having that extra time with the students allowed us to delve a bit deeper into the practical applications of the topic.

Once the scheduled classes and substitutions were wrapped up, I dedicated my remaining time to the "behind-the-scenes" work that keeps a classroom running smoothly. I focused on self-reflection, evaluating what worked well in today’s sessions, and spent time crafting teaching aids and detailed lesson plans for my upcoming classes. This quiet productivity is just as essential as the teaching itself, ensuring I’m fully prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. When the final bell rang at 3:40 pm, I signed out and headed home, feeling accomplished and ready for the next day.

DAY - 18

28 November 2025

Today marks the 18th day of my teaching practice at NGPM Venchempu, and it’s incredible how quickly the time is flying by. My morning began early, arriving at the school by 9:10 AM just as the campus was starting to buzz with energy. There is something truly grounding about the way the day starts here; between 9:35 and 9:40 AM, the students gather for a beautiful prayer that sets a peaceful and focused tone for the hours ahead.

My primary teaching responsibility today was during the second period with class VIII.C. We delved into the unit on "Decimal Forms," specifically focusing on the topic of "Earlier Forms." It was one of those rewarding sessions where the classroom dynamic felt perfectly in sync. The students weren't just passive listeners; they were actively participating and stayed deeply engaged in the activities throughout the lesson. Seeing them connect with the mathematical concepts in real-time is easily the highlight of my experience so far.

Later in the afternoon, at 2:05 PM, I returned to VIII.C for a substitution during the 6th period. This gave us a great opportunity to maintain our momentum, as I was able to introduce the next topic, "Some Other Fractions," within the same chapter on decimal forms. Because I didn't have any further classes or substitutions for the remainder of the day, I took the chance to sit down for some quiet self-reflection. It’s during these moments that I can really process what’s working in my teaching style and where I can grow. When the final bell rang at 3:40 PM, I signed out and headed home, feeling grateful for another productive day in the classroom.

DAY - 9

17 November 2025

Today marked my 9th day at NGPM, Venchempu, and it was a day defined by flexibility.

The day began promptly at 9:10 AM. There is something grounding about the morning routine in a school; from 9:35 to 9:40 AM, the air was filled with the sound of students in prayer. It’s a brief window of collective calm before the academic day truly kicks into gear.

I was scheduled for the second period with Class VIII.C, but as any educator knows, the school calendar is full of surprises. With students away for NCC meetings and preparations for district-level competitions, my formal teaching session was put on hold. While I didn't get to deliver my planned lesson, seeing the students' dedication to their extracurricular commitments is a reminder that learning happens just as much outside the classroom as it does inside.

The middle of my day was defined by "stepping in." I took on substitution roles for two different classes, guiding VIII.A through their Social Science texts and overseeing an English reading session for IX.C. These periods offer a chance to interact with different age groups and observe how students engage with independent study.

By 3:40 PM, the final bell echoed through the halls. As I signed out and left the school, I felt a sense of gratitude for the journey so far.

DAY - 10

18 November 2025

On November 18, 2025, I completed my 10th day at NGPM Venchempu, and it was a day that perfectly illustrated the balance between quiet preparation and active engagement.

I arrived at school by 9:15 AM, just in time to hear the students' beautiful morning prayer between 9:35 and 9:40 AM. Since I didn't have any classes scheduled for the first five periods, I dedicated that block of time to my behind-the-scenes work: refining lesson plans and organizing teaching aids. It’s during these quiet hours that the foundation for a successful lesson is really built.

My teaching took center stage during the 6th period. I taught a lesson on the "parts of a line" and incorporated various activities to bring the concept to life. It was incredibly rewarding to see the students jump into group discussions and tackle the activities with such energy. The learners showed genuine enthusiasm and interest in solving problems throughout the entire class, which is exactly the kind of momentum every teacher hopes for.

The day wrapped up as usual at 3:40 PM when the final bell rang. As I signed out and left the school, I felt energized by the students' participation and ready for what the next ten days will bring.

Today marked Day 11 and brought a different pace. After arriving at 9:15 AM and attending the morning prayer, my schedule was filled with substitutions. I instructed Class IX.A in Social Science and later sat in with VIII.A. I also had a substitution with 8B during the 5th period, where I guided them through their English textbooks.

During my scheduled 6th-period class with VIII.C, I found that most students were out for practice. Instead of a new lesson, I took the opportunity to revise the previous topic with those present. I used my remaining free periods effectively to prepare more lesson plans and teaching aids. Both days wrapped up at 3:40 PM when the final bell rang and I signed out, feeling more settled into the school routine with each passing hour.

DAY - 12

20 November 2025

The momentum continued into November 20, Day 12, which turned out to be a significant milestone in professional growth. After the usual morning routine and a first period dedicated to preparation, a new topic was introduced at 10:30 AM: the "parts of a triangle". Similar to the previous geometry lesson, the students were highly collaborative, participating in group work and showing a strong interest in the subject matter.

The highlight of Day 12 was an optional observation conducted by Sree lekshmi Miss. Having an experienced educator observe the session provided a valuable perspective on the student-teacher experience. Each of these days concluded at 3:40 PM, leaving a sense of accomplishment as the routines of the school become more familiar.

Day - 4

10 November 2025

Today marked my fourth day at NGPM, and as I walked through the school gates at 9:15 AM, I felt a growing sense of familiarity with the halls and the routine.

The day began with the collective calm of the morning prayer from 9:35 to 9:40 AM. While I didn't have a class during the first period, the quiet time allowed me to prep for what was coming next: Section 8C.

In the second period, I met with my students in 8C. We are currently navigating the world of Algebra within our unit on Ratio.

To make sure everyone was on the same page, I started with a quick recap of our previous lesson. It’s always rewarding to see those "lightbulb moments" when a concept finally clicks! The highlight of the session was the group discussions. The students didn't just sit back; they dived into the activities with genuine enthusiasm. Seeing them engage with mathematical logic through collaboration is exactly why I love this profession.

The life of a teacher isn't just about the blackboard. Following the lesson, I was assigned to supervise students as they headed to the auditorium. They were practicing for their upcoming sub-district level competitions, and the air was thick with talent and nerves. It was a great reminder that school is just as much about these extracurricular milestones as it is about academics.

As the final bell rang at 3:40 PM, I signed out and headed home. It was a productive, busy, and fulfilling day. Each day at NGPM brings new lessons—not just for the students, but for me as well.

DAY - 5

11 November 2025

The fifth day of teaching practice often feels like a turning point. The initial "first-day" jitters have faded, replaced by the steady rhythm of school life and the unpredictability that comes with being an educator.

The day began promptly at 9:15 AM, followed by the school prayer at 9:35 AM. While the first period was free, the rest of my morning was a lesson in adaptability. I was assigned substitution duties for Class VII.C during the second period and Class X.A during the fourth. While I didn't conduct formal lessons during these substitution hours, they provided a valuable opportunity to observe different classroom dynamics across various age groups.

After a free fifth period following lunch, I returned to Class VII.C for my scheduled lesson in the sixth period. We dove into a brand-new topic: Changing Ratios.

It was incredibly rewarding to see the students transition from the morning's quiet substitution period to active participants in the afternoon. They engaged enthusiastically in group discussions and hands-on activities, showing a genuine interest in how ratios evolve and apply to different mathematical problems.

Once my classroom teaching was finished, I headed to the auditorium to supervise students as they prepared for their sub-district competitions. Seeing their dedication outside of standard academics is a great reminder of the vibrant community spirit here at NGPM.

By the time the final bell rang at 3:40 PM, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment. Between handling substitutions and introducing new mathematical concepts, Day 5 was a testament to the diverse roles a teacher plays every single day.

DAY - 6

12 November 2025

Day 6 was all about active engagement. I arrived at 9:15 AM, just in time for the 9:35 AM prayer. My morning was packed with substitution duties for classes IX.A and 8C, which gave me two free periods to focus on preparing for the afternoon.

In the afternoon, I had my regular session with 8C. We continued our journey through Changing Ratios, focusing specifically on problem-solving. There is nothing quite like the buzz of a classroom where students are actively debating solutions in their groups. Their interest in tackling these math challenges was palpable.

I ended the day with a substitution in 8A during the seventh period. Rather than a standard study hall, I decided to liven things up with a Quiz Competition. I divided the class into several groups, and the competitive spirit that emerged was the perfect way to end the day.

The final bell rang at 3:40 PM, and I signed out feeling energized by the students' creativity and drive

DAY - 7

13 November 2025

Today marked my 7th day of teaching practice at NGPM, Venchempu, and it provided a perfect snapshot of the balance required in this profession.

My day began at 9:15 am, just as the school was buzzing into life. After the morning prayer, I found myself with a bit of a "calm before the storm." Since I didn't have classes during the first three periods, I stayed tucked away in the staff room.

The highlight of the day came during the 4th period at 12:05 pm. I introduced a new topic: Three Measures from the chapter on Ratio.

Group Discussions: Students debated how the ratios applied to the measures.

Active Activities: Hands-on problem solving that kept them moving and thinking.

The energy in the room was palpable. Seeing their enthusiasm and interest in solving problems throughout the session reminded me why I chose this path. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when students stop being passive listeners and start becoming active problem-solvers.

After my class, the rest of the afternoon was dedicated to the "behind-the-scenes" work of teaching—more lesson planning and resource building to ensure the momentum from today carries over into tomorrow

DAY - 8

14 November 2025

Today marked my eighth day of teaching practice at NGPM, Venchempu, and it was a day characterized by a satisfying balance of quiet preparation and high-energy instruction. I arrived at the school by 9:10 AM, just in time to see the campus come to life before the morning prayer at 9:35 AM. This morning ritual always provides a grounded start to the day, setting a focused tone for both the students and the staff.

Since my first three periods were free, I used that block of time to stay ahead of my schedule. I focused on drafting lesson plans and organizing teaching aids for the coming days, ensuring that every future session is as polished as possible. There is a specific kind of peace in that early morning prep work, knowing that the effort put in now leads to a much smoother experience for the students later.

The highlight of the day arrived during the fourth period at 12:05 PM, when I met with my first class to introduce a new topic: "Parts of a Line."

They didn't just listen; they participated in group discussions and worked through activities with a level of enthusiasm that made the lesson fly by. Seeing them solve problems with such genuine interest is a great reminder of why I chose this path.

After the class concluded, I returned to my preparation work, making the most of every available minute before the final bell rang at 3:40 PM. As I signed out and left the school, I felt a sense of steady progress. Each day brings me a little closer to mastering the art of the classroom, and today’s success with the students was a wonderful milestone on that journey.
