Assessment 5

(TS) Today, basketball started as the new P.E activity. (SD) Although for the past few weeks I had been helping the students with badminton, today we started a new sport. (CM) Since Mr. D had left for his team’s basketball game and Mrs. Davis was busy getting ready for the class, I started out in charge of the group. (CM) The 6^th grade class was definitely complicated to keep quiet, and they often had a hard time sitting still and following directions. (CM) Sometimes when I was monitoring the stations, I would notice that the kids had stopped playing, and then I would have to remind them to keep shooting or passing since there was no station that said to relax and laze around until school was over. (SD) As I already mentioned, this group was very hard to keep track of and help make sure that they were on track. (CM) I remember when I was helping out at Station 7, the Jump Ball station, I left to go help Station 4 fix their stopwatch, and when I came back there was only one of the students left at Station 7. (CM) This made me confused, and I had to scout out the different students to bring them back to the station where they belonged. (CM) Most of the 6^th graders are new to basketball, so I often found myself helping them with shooting or how to perfect their chest passes. (CM) Helping this group of students was quite satisfying, and it also seems as if everyone enjoyed themselves, while I am still wondering what I was like when I first learned how to play basketball. (CS) I wonder if my experience of bringing in basketball with the 7^th graders will go as well as it did with the 6^th graders today
