Summary of Today’s Activities

                In all of the Physical education classes we played a game called Ultimate Basketball.  The class was separated into two teams.  The main rule in the game is the ball cannot hit the ground.  If it does hit the ground, the opposing team will receive the ball.  They have three seconds to make a decision with the ball.  The team has to pass the ball 3 consecutive times in order to attempt a shot at goal.  First block had a re-take of the bones quiz and we then discussed problems that are associated with the skeletal system.  In fourth block, we discussed the dashboard signs in a car and getting to know their vehicle.

Reflection

                In fourth block, we practiced a code red procedure.  My host teacher warned me before so I had a chance to determine what my actions were supposed to be beforehand.  The students really enjoyed the Ultimate Basketball game and I will definitely be using that game in the future.  My first block class definitely studied for their re-take, because the grades were supremely higher than the first attempt.  I was very happy to see that the students studied.  They have another quiz on Thursday and I think and I hope that they see that they must study in order to do well in my class.
