Summary of Today’s Activities

Since today was a half day for the students, we did not have any classes.  The principal felt like the students did not need to go to their “special” classes today since it was a half day.  She believed they needed to stay and learn in their main classes.  Needless to say, it was a pretty boring day for me and Ms. Boyd.  We did spend the day working on the “Haunted House” or obstacle course for next week’s lessons with all of the grade levels.  We are going to turn off all of the lights in the gym and have a few students go at one time through the gym’s obstacle course.  After each student has had a few chances to go through the haunted house, they will work in teams to work on a Halloween scavenger hunt outside.

Reflection

               

                Although today was a half day, it still seemed like an extremely long day.  When the students are in the gym and we are having fun the day flies.  Ms. Boyd and I did get a lot done for the plans for next week.  Although it was a half day, we the teachers, had to stay behind and see if any parents wanted to have a parent and teacher conference.  Ms. Boyd told me that normally no one wants to, but we have to stay in school in case a parent decides to want to have a talk.  I am really enjoying elementary physical education so far.  The planning for each grade level is a little challenging, but it is worth it in the end to see the students smiling and enjoying their time in my class.
