During the initial week, we found ourselves caught off guard as we received a last-minute notification about the practicum at school. Despite the rush and lack of prepared documents and permits, we managed to turn it into an unexpected adventure. On the very first day, we embarked on a mission to sort everything out, ensuring that we were allowed into the classrooms. Surprisingly, it was examination week for the students, which meant our task mainly involved overseeing the exam halls. Amidst the chaos, there was a sense of excitement in navigating these challenges and making the most out of the situation.

This week marked the beginning of our teaching journey as we were finally granted access to the classrooms to instruct the students.

One of our initial tasks was to collect our textbooks from the SPBT room, a simple yet significant step in our teaching adventure.
