Goldstone PE Buddy Project - Final Reflection

1. What adjustments and improvements did you make in your lessons (structure, activities, organization, instructions) from the first lesson to the last one?

 

From the first lesson to the last lesson some adjustments we made were how we explain the instructions IE. Loudness of voice, simplifying the rules...

After week one we saw how the kids behaved and we based our lessons on their behaviour.

2.  What was the biggest challenge for your group?  For you?



For my group the biggest challenge was stepping up and taking a leadership role and having loud enough voices.
For me, my biggest challenge was not stepping over my group mates and taking full control.



3.  Describe your favourite moment as a leader and explain why.



As a leader my favourite part was just seeing the kids being active and happy. I like this because seeing kids happy and having fun makes me happy and it makes me want to go to school and become a teacher even more so I can work with kids every day.




4. What do you still need to work on?  What improvements would you make if you were continuing teaching for another month?



If we were to do this for another month, I think that we could plan out all of our lesson plans so the can be all connected to a greater goal. I would also try to remember to bring my whistle every day.




PE Buddies -


1.  What are some of the things that you learned being a PE buddy?



Being a buddy, I learned different ways to teach kids of different ages from the other groups of leaders. I also learned what it takes to make a kid want to participate in the class, if I did not match their energy then they looked bored and not really excited to be there.





2.  Did your comfort level change over the course of the month?  Why or why not?


With already working with kids every week I was very comfortable with them so my comfort level did not change. I always love working with  kids no matter how old they and or how annoying they may be.







3.  What was your favourite part of being a buddy?  Be specific.


My favourite of being a buddy as getting to know the kids and watching them have lots of fun with the different tasks/ games they played. I love seeing the kids happy and having fun without PE the kids would not be able to be as active as they are.
