Bouncing off the Walls at St. Mary's

This past week my group and I provided games and activities in the beginning for the students to practice and demonstrate the basic motor skills: stationary bounce, kick. It was kid of frustrating when the students arrived that half of them ran to the bleachers and refused to participate.Although, the few students who did participate performed the basic motor skills well and a few struggled. One student who I could tell might have been a bit younger than the other student's couldn't dribble a ball. I worked with him and gave him some special attention but he still got discouraged. He said: "I can't do it" I told him he could with some practice. I also told him not to say he can't do something. A big thing for these kids is having us come in. We are role models to these kids and provide support for physical education and far more. Check out this link to see my lab five review!

Halloween at St. Mary's

This week at St. Mary's was wild because of Halloween! The kids were excited to go trick or treating which was difficult to keep their attention. The majority of the parent picked up their kids early. So leading activities later on in the lab was a challenge. Most of us Cortland teacher candidates dressed up and many students loved it and clung on to us. Click the link below to see more about the fine details about lab 4 at St. Mary's.
