Summary of Today’s Activities

                The only class I had today was the kindergarten class.  I set up stations for them instead of letting them have free time, because I was told that kindergarten has a tough time with having free time.  When the music started the students would perform the activity at the station and when the music stopped the students would stop, clean their station, and on my cue they would rotate to the next station.  We had a station in which the students had to toss a beanbag on a mat and then hopscotch through the mat and try to avoid the beanbag that was on the mat.  The next station was a bowling station in which they tried to knock down as many bowling pins as possible.  Afterward the students rotated to the corn hole station in which they attempted to toss the beanbags through the hole on the board.  The last station was a jumping station, in which the students had a ball that was suspended from a rope that was attached to the ankle.  The students would jump and try to avoid the rotating ball.

Reflection

                Since we only had one class today it was somewhat of a boring day.  I am looking forward to seeing all of the students next week and hearing about their exciting thanksgiving break.  I am also excited because Christmas is almost here and we get to start our Christmas games with the students next week.  Ms. Boyd gave me some good ideas for Christmas games that she normally plays with the students and then I also researched some games and plan on using some of them with the classes next week.  Next week is the last week of student teaching and I can’t tell you how excited I am to finish my Master’s degree.
