I teach all grades from Pre-Primary to VI. As of this year, I am teaching all subjects of PP and Science to Grade VI students. Since I taught them Science in the 5th grade, they wanted me to continue teaching them in the 6th grade too, a choice that reflected my success in teaching. As a teacher, there is nothing more rewarding and satisfying than to know that a set of students prefer you to teach them !!! Of course, I graciously and happily accepted that. In fact, I have no unwillingness or restrictions to teach any subject or grade. I am comfortable teaching all primary subjects and grades, owing to my passion for teaching and of course, the plus 16 years of experience that adds to the competency.
This year, I have only ten students in my Science class and that makes a lot of my job easier: from activity designing to assignments and corrections. Except foe one low achiever, all of them are bright and high achievers which again lightens my job. So science teaching is fun, realistic and enjoyable. The students agree on this note too.
However, even the brightest of the bright students have their time of the day: diverting attention from the task or staying inactive and lethargic in the class. So to address this issues, I carry out "Brain Breaks" i.e.
take five minutes break from teaching-learning and do some brain exercises like singing, concentration games etc that will rejuvenate the burdened brain. In doing so, children are more active and attentive in carrying out the rest of the task.
In the pictures shown, we sang a karaoke!!! Of course, they were thoroughly into it .....
