My experience of teaching during pandemic period

 I 'm Fathima who is working as a secondary grade teacher in a rural village in coimbatore district .Pandemic period makes my teaching learning process a challengable task .I am handling grades 1 and 2 .This long gap made my children to be far away from learning .I was planning to start  my teaching through whatsapp and other technical resources but it was not fruitful in achieving my goals ..It was difficult to reach my students without smart phones .But as days passed they used to get mobile phones but instead of attending classes they used it for playing games and started to skip learning.Then I started to visit students home personally  thinking of teaching but they didn't come out and started  to hide somewhere.Then I start to attract them by taking snacks ,colour pencils,crayons and some drawing materials to their places .Initially very few children started to come but gradually the number increased .I used to attract them only by extra curricular activities first and then I slowly bring teaching procedure into it and I start to attain my goal partially .These are the very great challenges I faced during pandemic period .
