OUR NOON FEEDING PROGRAMME
THE SAGA CONTINUES.
Jesus was born, happiness overloaded.
Like every day that day also went. And it's a new year, a new year
with a hope that everything would go well.... Yet another year that
witnessed millions and tons of resolutions and oaths. I also took a resolution
that I would try hard to transform some kids, pave way from darkness to light.
I was so excited to welcome the New Year and back to the celebration in the
practicing school I was really delighted that I can see my students and wish
them a Happy New Year.
1st January 2018
Students
who were enjoying the 10 day break may not be interested in coming to the
school this day. I was really tensed about the marks my students have acquired
for the Christmas examination. On the whole I felt that the day would not
be very interesting. Though a new year, it was really gloomy at the early
morning. I have already started the new unit before the examination. I have
completed a poem and has established the theme of the whole unit.
The unit gave due importance to science and scientific
enquiries. I have already prepared some teaching aids related to the new
chapter and hence decided to take classes based on the chapter. It was a
memoir written by the very famous scientist Richard Feynman who is known as the
father of Nanotechnology. As a teaching aid, I have prepared a glossary
describing the difficult words and also a chart displaying the profile of the
author.
As the teachers had to discuss the question papers and
distribute the answer sheets, we did not get classes the day. Set up a
library had a chit chat and the day went by. By 12:45, we went to serve food
for the students and I realized that it was the best of experience. I had an
interaction with the teacher in charge regarding the marks of the students.
Teacher was so happy that most of the students secured high grades in the exam.
I too was so delighted. As part of my project I collected some materials from
the SPC coordinator for school and we also had an interaction.
3rd January 2018
As I did not get the classes the last day, I have already
had teaching aids and materials to teach the students. I was planning to start
the chapter by taking the aid of a story. Man is inquisitive in nature. They
often come up with questions about things that they see, feel, hear or
experience. The chapter entitled "the making of the
scientist" describe the story of Richard Feynman and his father who
made him a well known scientist.
While we were preparing for the
chapters, the headmaster announced the kids to assemble at Auditorium as there
was a district wise inauguration of the District wise programmes of women's
rights protection and defense. As the topic was about social responsibilities of
women, I rushed to the place where the meeting was held. I found it really
interesting; Women police officers dressed up were ready to give the
demonstration of various defense methods.
The chapter was introduced to the students with the
help of a story, the Story of Adam and Eve. It was out of the curiosity that
they ate the fruit the Forbidden tree. The topic was hence introduced and thus
led students to the chapter.

Examinations
are the most dreadful thing in the life of a student. He always shrinks back
from examination. He or she might become pale, shrunken, or might have a
terrible peer at the teacher who gives them the examination. So in order to get
rid of their examination fear, I decided to put them a small examination. It
also aimed at analyzing how much the student understood the topics taught And
to know whether various learning objectives of satisfied.
After an informal interaction in the class, I supplied the question papers to
the students and made sure that nobody looks at each other. As the numbers of
questions were more than 20, I was afraid whether they would be able to
complete the test in 45 minutes. The students were really Cooperative and they
wrote whatever then you according to the questions asked. Questions were framed
in such a way to avoid students discussing each other. The technique was to an
extent was a great success.
5 January 2018
I was not able to complete a lesson plan the last day, hence
decided to go a bit faster. While at the class the usual word game was given to
the students in order to make them updated with new vocabulary. After the informal
interaction and checking the previous knowledge I went into the chapter. The
topic was taught to them with the help of related stories. Students during the
time were rapt listeners.
THE WEEK AN OVERVIEW
As
days passes, I am falling in love with teaching profession. Brought me really
happy moments and I was able to complete works on time. The week was not too
hectic, we were able to incorporate other works along with this. I felt that,
telling stories always brings in students a curiosity to learn.
