Teaching Practice Week 4: Classroom Engagement and School Duties

Weekly Reflection 
Week 4 (24 November – 28 November 2025)

Day 1 – Monday (24/11/2025)

Today, the morning assembly was not conducted due to the demise of the father of a student from Class 8B. As a mark of respect and support, teachers, staff, and students visited the student’s home.

Later, I took my scheduled class as well as a substitution period. I also actively participated in the midday meal serving and student dispersal duties along with my peers, fulfilling my responsibilities for the day.

Day 2 – Tuesday (25/11/2025)

It was a routine working day. Though I did not have any scheduled classes as per the timetable, I was allotted a substitution period, which helped me interact with students in an informal and supportive manner. In the afternoon, I responsibly carried out the midday meal serving and dispersal duties.

Day 3 – Wednesday (26/11/2025)

I had a scheduled class in Class 8A, where the teaching–learning process was smooth and engaging. As usual, I took part in the midday meal serving and dispersal duties in the afternoon, gaining more experience in managing school responsibilities beyond classroom teaching.

Day 4 – Thursday (27/11/2025)

Today, I was assigned substitution periods. Along with handling these classes, I continued with my regular school duties, which contributed to my understanding of a teacher’s day-to-day responsibilities.

Day 5 – Friday (28/11/2025)

On the final day of the week, I had a scheduled period in Class 9. I also performed the midday meal serving and student dispersal duties in the afternoon, concluding the week with a sense of responsibility and satisfaction.

Week 4 of teaching practice was marked by moments of empathy, responsibility, and continued professional engagement. Along with classroom teaching, participating in school duties and supporting the school community during difficult times helped me understand the emotional and social dimensions of the teaching profession.
