I got 3 periods for 9D.I taught them method to find oxidation number and redox reactions this week.

Reflection

The teaching practice phase2 at school provided a handful of experiences.I was able to acquaint with Shylaja teacher and a lot of vibrant students.

However,the infrastructure facilities of the school was very poor.There was no projector and laptop in any class and it made it difficult to integrate technology and audio visual aids in classroom.The science laboratory facilities were also poor. Water availability and kitchen facilities is good.PTA also strongly participates in all functions in the school.
