Final buddy reflection

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

The first lesson compared to the last lesson was different for many reasons. One we were a lot more organized and speakin to the children was a lot easier. We changed the games to be more easy and suitable for their age. We got to build a connection with our buddy and learnt a lot about each student. 

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

The biggest challenge for my group was probably trying to choose a game that worked in everyone's favour and was easy to understand for the kids! I didn't have any major challenges that I had to overcome possibly because I'm always around children and it was second nature to me. 


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

My favorite moment is when we go there and the children are so excited to see us and get started. Being a leader is important and such a privalge to have the opportunity to have that power. It feels good to be helping theese teachers & interacting with Theese kids! 

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

I think if I was alone I would work on better games to play where they all have more fitness time rather than a game where the children are not moving as much. I would pre plan all the activities and improve my ideas.




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

I learned that interacting with your buddy is extremely important and you always have to be positive! 



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

Yes, my comfort level changed from the begining to the end because in the begining As a class we weren't really sure what to expect, how the kids were going to be and I don't think a lot of us realized the big impact we have on them. Now I feel a lot more comfortable with speaking to them as a class and individual. 


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

My favorite part would be making them happy! My buddy I got close to by going out of my way and talking to her. She was sitting alone during the lesson and she seemed to be crying so I went over asked what was wrong and made her feel a lot better. Everyday we went she was really excited to see me and I was excited to do pe with her and help her feel more comfortable in her environment!
