captain of basketball team game two

We had our second game of the season and lost by a lot again. We have to start working better as a team. We are starting to figure each other out a bit. Once we all start to click together as a team i think we will be good. As we were playing last night as the captain i was able to spot out some things we were doing wrong and was able to point it out to my team so that we can change this for the next time we play. As the leader i am going to have to work on getting everybody to play on the same page so that we can play as a team and not individually. its tough because we need everybody to know what everyone's good at in order to work as a team. We showed some improvement, and we anticipate on getting there soon so that we can win some games.

PED 201 First Lab Experience

Today wednesday February 10th at St. Mary's I worked with children for my first lab expereince which turned out to be extremely fun. We started out by playing tag games with the children and running around the gym. That was a lot of fun as the kids were all laughing and having a great time. I thought it was so cute how the kids that were it would get the biggest kick out of tagging the adults. I would play down at their level too so that it made it easier to tag me and i could be more face to face with them. The expressions on the kids faces was amazing. After that i worked with the pre K kids. The first room i went to there were a bunch of girls playing dress up, i invited myself to play with them and from there we had a lot of fun, the girls all forced me to eat all of their food and they wanted me to get my nails painted and they seemed to enjoy when i pretended to cook on the stove with them. When i went to room number 2 the boys spotted me first and asked me to play dinosurs with them. So i helped them name the dinosours and we played that for a while. Afterwards i read to the class storytime. They all seemed to love the book and payed pretty good attention. The girls i noticed were a little bit more behaved and relaxed. Then we went back to the gym and played more games with the pre K kids and got to know their names. Overal today was a great experience and i look foward to going back next time as i always love working with kids and being a kid again is always fun. I learned some kids names and some kids loved having me there and asked when i was coming back so i felt like i made a contribution.

Captain of basketball team Game

Had a game tonight, first game of the season. This was the first of many games as a team captain for my intramural basketball team. We ended up losing 39-24 but during the loss we figured out a lot of things about each other and we will meet next time to improve our game.. Our next game is tonight at 10..We will bounce back next game.

10 hours of participation

This year i am a captain of an intrumural basketball team and will have pictures uploaded very shortly of me playing the game at various dates. Each game is about an hour. We had our first scrimage on thursday as a way to help the referees get some training in. It was the first day our team met and we have a lot to improve upon. Our next game will be tuesday and wednesday at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. I look foward to an exciting year of playing and help lead my team to some wins and fun.

Intro to my class

This was just a quick 5 second introduction to my class to grab the attention of my studnets or anybody following my site. The one thing i would have changed in this video would have been after i took the video i noticed my hands were in my pockets which i didnt want to happen but relized after the video where they were. So being more alert of my body posture will help me be a better teacher as well in my lesson plan and again i have to work on using a deep strong voice for clarification and to grab my studnets attention. I hope you all enjoy participating in my class this year and we have a great semester

Lesson desription Teaching

After i watched my lesson description on teaching a skill i was able to make some observations. The first thing i noticed was the volume of my voice. I need to really use a deeper louder voice when teaching my lesson because i will be dealing with a lot of kids at once. I have always been a quiet person so this whole using the voice to be loud is very new to me and i will do everything i can to overcome it. For the most part i thought i was clear, maybe i could use a different pitch or tone of voice for different areas of my lesson to grab the kids attention more. I think i did ok here in this video with my body language, my biggest obsticle will be making eye contact and making sure i have great posture. I used my hands in this video. I think i said some good things but with more rehearsal i think maybe i could have said some more things. My intent was to teach my class how to throw a baseball, i think i was able to get the message across to my class by even asking who has played baseball before. I would like to say that i thought the class understood what i was demonstrating to them. I used 4 steps to describe how to throw. I was thinking about comparing how to throw to an airplane taking off for an example. The next time i teach i would want to say a little bit more with a deeper voice. Maybe i would describe each step a little more for better understanding. Overal for a start i think i did pretty good besides my voice being too low. I am very excited to improve upon my first little teaching lesson and get much better as the year goes on.
