"A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning" - Brad Henry
As part of my B.Ed. curriculum at Fathima Memorial Training College, Mylapore, Kollam, I began my teaching practice at Govt. Model Boys HSS, Kollam on 14th July 2025. From the very first day, the school welcomed us with warmth and positivity. The atmosphere was encouraging, the teachers were extremely supportive, and the overall environment created a space where both students and trainee teachers could thrive.
Day 1 (14th july,2025)
I stepped into the classroom with a heart full of excitement and a fair share of nervousness. My first class was during the fifth period, right after the lunch break, with Class 8A. The experience of facing students for the first time made me understand the seriousness and responsibility of being a teacher. Though I was anxious, the teachers in the school guided us and created a sense of belonging. I started the lesson " Little Things Matter" by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. By the end of the day, I felt more confident and deeply motivated to improve.

I continued the lesson “Little Things Matter” by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. I gave them some intresting games and later read the text with appropriate stress and intonation, and ensured that the meaning was conveyed clearly. I used flashcards to explain new vocabulary and made learning more interactive through activity cards, which the students enjoyed. Their active participation and positive responses helped me feel more in control and affirmed that I was on the right track.

My confidence had clearly improved, and I began to enjoy the process of teaching and learning with the students.

In my regular session with Class 8A, I introduced new vocabulary through engaging tasks and observed how the students were becoming more responsive.
