Last working day at GGHSS

Image
07.12.2022. It was my last working day as a student-teacher trainee at the Ganapathy GHSS. The whole journey was more of a roller-coaster ride with a lot of learnings and new insights. The students of grades 6 and 9 helped me evolve myself, although, the interest showed by the grade 6 students was all the more higher. For all the love and respect they showered, I decided to write a personalized card for each one of them as a token of love. It was a day filled with mixed emotions. The last two pictures are with my two guide teachers who helped me immensely in transforming myself from a student-teacher to a teacher-in-progress.   

Prize Distribution for the Zonal level winners

On the second of December, winners of the Zonal level cultural competitions were awarded prizes in front of their peers. Following the prize distribution, the headmaster appreciated the efforts taken by the student teachers in guiding and teaching the students in bringing out their talents efficiently. 

Classroom interaction - Grade 6

It is vital for a classroom session to be two-way and not monotonous. All my classes are highly interactive with students taking part in most of the classroom discussions. It is quite common for me to make students speak out in the classroom about their opinions on a specific topic. Below are pictures that were shot on one such day when the students were actively sharing with their classmates their favourite trip/picnic ever. It is equally interesting to find that all their peers show even more curiosity and eagerness in listening to each other and not remain judgmental about one another.   

Awareness Campaign on Inclusive Education

Students of Ganapathy GHSS took part in an awareness campaign on Inclusive Education for differently-abled students on 28.11.2022. Our Principal-in-charge led the campaign. They went around the streets and spread awareness among the public.  

Oath on encouraging sport activities

On the 25th of November, students and teachers of Ganapathy GHSS took an oath on encouraging sport activities among students. Teachers pledged to let students explore their sport abilities, and students pledged to bring out their latent abilities in sports, and also to stay rejuvenated by playing various sport activities which would, in turn, impact positively on their academics, too.  

Interschool Competitions

The Education Department of Tamilnadu conducted various cultural competitions across all schools in Tamilnadu that come under the state government. We, student-teachers, tried our best in helping the students by choreographing various dance performances, writing and teaching essays for the oratorical competitions. On the 24th of November, we had a selection contest within the premises of Ganapathy GHSS in which many students performed dance, drama, song, speech, etc. Below are two pictures out of which the first one is a performance given by a physically challenged 10th grade student (who later won the first place at the Zonal level) and the second one is a role-play based on the famous Ponniyin Selvan.   

Planting of Medicinal herbs

During our school internship, we student-teachers were given the task of creating a classoom-garden in front of each classroom in the ground floor. The idea was to form a huge medicinal-plant garden in the school premises. So, it was our responsibility to make students bring different medicinal herbs and plants, till the soil and plant the saplings. Students showed great interest in bringing them and planting them the next day. The planting of saplings took place on the 21st of November, 2022.
