Summary of Today’s Activities

                Today we did not have much going on in the gym.  We had a lot of classes rehearsing for the school play so the only classes we had in the gym today was the kindergartners.  The students came in and we warmed up by playing musical hula hoops.  We had three winners and then we went into our next activity, which was relay dog sledding.  The class was split up into teams and we had a relay race on scooter boards.  The first person in line was the puller while the second student was on the scooter board.  The team that pulled their teammates the quickest down to the other end of the gym and back won the game.  After the dog sledding relay, the students played a snow ball fighting game, in which the students had to hit the other team with yarn balls (snow balls).

Reflection

                Since this is my last week at Forest Hills Elementary, I was a little upset that I would not be able to have some of the classes this week.  I was looking forward to playing the Christmas games with them, but I understand that they have to rehearse for their school play.  It is a little upsetting that they get pulled out of physical education class.  It definitely makes the day go by slower, when I am sitting around in the gym working on my ePortfolio.  Either way, I can’t really complain much because my school placement has been great and my host teacher has been great.  I have had a great experience and I am looking forward to having my own classes hopefully soon.
