The second day of school induction program. Again to Sarvodaya ICSE school. With its 48 years of successful memories, Sarvodaya's glory is still reflecting... Today too we were assigned to do examination duty. While the exam going on... I went through my past...the time when I was a student. Those days I often thought about what actually these teachers doing in an examination hall. Just walking around...doing nothing. But today as a teacher I can say that it was not just walking or looking at a class...but a really tiering thing. It was a very good experience since in the nearby future I am going to face situations like this alot... (Meanwhile got energizers : A cup of Tea). After that had a conversation with the Vice principal Terine Joseph...who shared alot of things about Sarvodaya for us...and also answered our questions...☺️☺️☺️ Today we went library which was closed yesterday... It was quite a big one filled with a lots of books... While having conversation with principal...m

The first day of school induction program.  Everybody was excited. Together towards SARVODAYA ICSE SCHOOL . Our team arrived at the school right on time ; 08:00 am. The warmth of the school welcomed us... It was really a big building. Its head was held up in the sky.... The first thing that caught my sight was the name : Sarvodaya which means 'universal uplift' also 'progress of all '...the term introduced by our Mahatma Gandhi . We were treated very well by the staffs, teachers and especially the beloved principal Dr. James T Joseph sir. Each time we spent with them were memorable. First we got the examination duty...the teachers as well as the students called us 'teacher'. It was really a nice experience....They suggested to take a look at hiw exams are conducting and how we need to behave in an examination hall. Later we got the opportunity to attend a class of a teacher who was taking the online class. Asha Abraham teacher was taking the class of 'Repres

 A lovely day.... Today first class was taken by Jibi teacher. She taught us the topic 'Characteristics of Personality'. The difference between Acceptance and Adjustment was the main subject we discussed today. "If you get all the things you wish for....it will leads to adjustment..."

At the first class we were divided into 4 groups and conducted mini activities...our group got the first prize and we all enjoyed our gift together....for a little time we all went to our good old memories about school life...we became students again....It was really nice. After completing those classes, we continued our micro teaching classes.  Afternoon was started with a session about to know about our Library facilities.

04/03/2021 The day started as usual.  After we headed towards yoga class where sir taught the importance of yoga and told about the purification process happens in our body during yoga. He told us about the MAKARASANA.  Then we went for our optional classes. As we entered the class, our seniors was there and they welcomed us with a pleasant smile. Today was their demonstration classes for us. They, as a team demonstrated the ways to take a class. It was really helpful for us to improve our teaching. After lunch break, Maya ma'am continued pragmatism and started humanism.  In between she entertained us with some tongue twisters which turned on the switch to laughter.  In my mind I thought about the famous malayalam song from the movie Hitler. അക്കരെ നിക്കണ ചക്കരമാവിലൊരിത്തിരി മുത്തണി മുന്തിരിമണിയുടെ കിങ്ങിണി കെട്ടിയ ചെറു ചെറു കനവുകൾ കൂടു തുറന്നു പറന്നിടുമൊരുഞൊടി ചിറകടി പടഹവും ഇളകിയ ബഹളവും ഒരു ചെറു കലഹവും അതിലൊരു മധുരവും അതുവഴി ഇതുവഴി പലവഴി പരതിയും ഒടുവിലതലനുര ചിതറിയ പറവകളായ്...
