Summary of Today’s Activities

                Today was an eventful day since we had all grade levels in the gym throughout the day.  We played the same games with all of the classes since we have been focusing on playing Halloween games.  The kindergartners and first graders played “Monster Mash”, “Witches Brew”, and “Skeletons”.  The second and third graders played “Monster Mash”, “Spider Tag”, and “Haunted House”.  The fifth graders started a bicycle safety lesson.  Class started with them taking a Pre-Test on bicycle safety and things associated with bikes.  Afterwards, we played “Monster Mash”, “Spider Tag” and “Haunted House”.

Reflection

                Today I had no intention of teaching any classes.  Ms. Boyd asked me this morning to teach her first grade class.  I was hesitant to say yes at first.  Regardless I taught first grade and also the rest of her classes for the entire day.  I had a tremendous amount of fun today and I look forward to tomorrow already.  We had an earthquake drill today and we had to take the students from the gym to the cafeteria.  The students are very welcoming and the students enjoyed all of the games we played today.  I can definitely see myself teaching elementary PE, but we will see.  It was only the first day.
