Summary of Today’s Activities

                Today we had all of the grade levels except for 4^th grade.  I had the 3^rd graders all by myself.  Ms. Boyd had to leave in order to take care of some things at home.  The kindergarten and 1^st graders started the day off with “Monster Mash” and then played “Ghost Tag” and “Bats in the Trees”.  The second graders played the same games and then played Ghostbusters at the end of class since we had some extra time.  The 5^th graders came to the gym next and we played “Monster Mash”, “Haunted House” and “Ghostbusters”.  The 3^rd graders only played “Monster Mash” and “Haunted House” since their teacher brought them to class a little late.

Reflection

                Having a class on my own today was great!  It was good to see how it would be if I had my own gym and my own classes.  I thought that since Ms. Boyd was out of class they would be asking a million questions about where Ms. Boyd was and they would have misbehaved more if she was not there.  That was not the case.  I had total control of the classroom and the students enjoyed the games and most importantly stayed safe.  Thankfully we had the time to plan for next week yesterday, because we didn’t have much time today to do so.  The day ended with working car duty, which actually helped with learning the student’s names.
