Venue-ZP School,Ojhar Township.
Kendrapramukh-Shrimati Nutan Pawar
Tag C started at 8 am with a warmer and ended at 11:30am having a break of 30 minutes.
She covered all the sections .
22 participants were present .
Teachers enjoyed introducing themselves and others with adding adjective. For Exa..
1 .I am Neat Nutan.
2. She is neat Nutan and I am versatile Vandana.......others continued like this.
💙It was a memory game and all the participants stood in a circle and tried to recall others names with adjectives. Also it was challenging for them to find adjective with the same letter of their first name.
But everyone enjoyed this.
💚Tag teachers supported each other. It was a nice example of cooperation and collaboration.
It took 18 minutes.
It should be spent only 10 minutes.
➡Review was conducted by asking few questions on Tejas and Tag.
