I distributed the answer sheets of the Achievement test and rewarded the students who got high marks. I also checked the students' notebooks to verify completion. Joju Sir came for a general observation, and we took a photo with him. At 10:00 am, a chess competition was conducted in the school, and many students participated. We helped the teachers with decorations for the Bethany Day celebrations. After the lunch break, Bethany Day programs were organized and conducted in the school auditorium. We also got a chance to perform a dance, which was an unforgettable moment with the cheering from the students filling our hearts. Left the school at 4:00 pm after marking the evening attendance.

DAY 35-Reached school at 8:30 am and marked the morning attendance. Today, I had no morning line duty. The day started with a morning prayer. Today was the last day of the second phase of school internship, a day to say goodbye to St. Goretti's HS and our students. I have many memories and experiences from this phase. Joju Sir and Shiney Ma'am came for observation. During the second period at 9.A, I conducted an innovative lesson plan based on AI and activity-based learning. The students actively engaged in the class, making it a memorable last class at 9.A. During the fourth period, Lissy Teacher assigned me the duty of checking their midterm answer sheets, which I distributed among the students afterward.

In the afternoon, we visited the headmistress to express our gratitude and gave her a present and sweets. In the staff room, the HM and teachers shared their views and opinions about us. We distributed sweets among the teachers and respective classes. Abeesha, Meera, Priyanka, and I, who taught 9.A, distributed sweets among the students and said goodbye to them. The students shared their feedback about me, which was a heartfelt moment. I gave presents to my concerned teacher, Lissy Kuruvila, and handed her a feedback form to be filled out. Taking many memories with me, we said goodbye to St. Goretti's. Left the school at 4:00 pm after marking the evening attendance. The students gathered around the school gate and waved their hands as their way of saying goodbye to us.
