Working with slow learners demands patience, and I had to adjust my teaching pace to match their ability to absorb information. In some cases, it was about revisiting the basics before moving on to more complex ideas. The goal was not just to help them pass the exam but to build their confidence in approaching subjects they found challenging. Some students, despite their difficulties, showed remarkable determination to improve, which was both motivating and rewarding for me as a teacher. Through these interactions, I also gained insights into different learning styles and how to adapt my teaching methods accordingly.
In addition to the remedial teaching, I was assigned to assist with the mid-day meal serving duty. This task involved distributing food to the students during lunchtime, ensuring that all were served and that no one went without. The mid-day meal is a crucial program in schools, especially for students from underprivileged backgrounds, as it not only provides them with necessary nutrition but also encourages attendance. The process of serving the meal was organized, with students lining up in an orderly manner, and I, along with other staff members, helped distribute the food efficiently.
Being part of this service gave me a sense of fulfillment, knowing that I was contributing to the students' well-being in more ways than just academically. The combination of helping slow learners and participating in the mid-day meal service made the day both meaningful and rewarding.
