Day 20 – 11 August 2025 (Monday)

I reached the school on time and revised my lesson plan before entering the classroom. I introduced the new concept of Multiplication Identities, and the students actively participated in understanding the patterns through examples. After the class, I helped with school-related work. In the afternoon, a Kerala Cricket League-related programme was organized, which created a lively atmosphere in the school. I spent some time with my peers before leaving for the day.

Day 21 – 12 August 2025 (Tuesday)

I reached the school on time and participated in the Book Exhibition, which displayed a wide range of books by different authors. It was an inspiring event that promoted reading habits among students and teachers alike. On that day, I handled classes on solving problems related to multiplication identities and also took a special class dealing with problems involving multiplication with difference. Both sessions went well, and students showed active interest in problem-solving activities.

Day 22 – 13 August 2025 (Wednesday)

I arrived at the school on time and interacted with my peers during the free hours. I took a substitution class, teaching the topic Special Operation under Multiplication Identities. Later, I conducted another class on Special Operation using the Concept Attainment Model, which encouraged students to identify concepts through examples and non-examples. The sessions went smoothly, and students were engaged throughout. I completed my records and left the school after finishing all duties.

Day 23 – 14 August 2025 (Thursday)

I reached the school on time and prepared for my observation class. The topic for the day was Number Curiosity under Unique Multiplication Identities, and the session was very effective and interactive. I also handled a substitution period in which I continued the same topic, helping students explore interesting number patterns. On this day, the NSS unit conducted an awareness programme on HIV/AIDS, which was very informative and impactful. After completing all my work, I left the school on time.

Day 24 – 16 August 2025 (Friday)

I reached the school on time. Since it was a Saturday, there were fewer students, and Friday’s timetable was followed due to the Independence Day holiday. I handled a class on problems based on multiplication identities and number curiosity, giving students additional practice in applying the concepts they had learned. As it was the last working day before the Onam examinations and vacation, I met my mentor, discussed future plans, and wished everyone a Happy Onam before leaving the school
