Summary of Today’s Activities

Today was another full day of classes.  The only grade level we did not see in gym class today was fourth grade.  Every class started their day off with the Turkey Tango.  Kindergarten then played Rollie Pollie and Battleship to review the underhand roll.  First grade played Hot Potato and Matt toss to review the underhand toss.  Second grade played Catch 3 and Catch relay to review the concept of catching an object.  Fifth grade reviewed the bounce and chest pass in basketball and I introduced to them the proper way to shoot a basketball.  The practiced the motion in games called Popcorn shooting and Line shooting. 

Reflection

The principal for Forest Hills elementary observed me today when I was the fifth graders and it was a complete success.  Her ratings for me were mostly fives and she gave me some great advice on what to do next time with the games.  She really enjoyed the Turkey Tango with the class.  I was a little nervous going into today, because the current teachers told me she was pretty tough with observations.  Evidently, she thought I did a great job with the class, so I am very proud of the work I did today.  The end is almost near and the students keep asking me to stay.  Ms. Boyd told every class this week that I only had the two days of next week and then the week after with them.  It is going to be sad to leave, but I am extremely excited to receive my Master’s Degree.
