(TS) With a smaller amount of students comes easier control. (SD) Today, half of the 6th grade class was missing as a result of Mrs. Williams needing them working on a dance project, although that didn’t stop the other half from showing up to class and working hard. (CM) The students played various basketball games such as Knock Out and Around the World. (CM) Many of the groups had trouble understanding the games so I had to explain the rules to them, which they eventually understood. (SD) One of my students, Maggie, had an extremely difficult time shooting the basketball, and she often consulted me for help. (CM) I was able to help her shoot better by showing her how hitting the corner of the square on the backboard will increase the probability of your shot going into the basket. (CM) She also needed to have stronger force on the ball, so that it would go higher in the air and wouldn’t fall short so many feet. (SD) Many of the girls had tried to talk to me while I was taking attendance for the day. (CM) Since I was trying to focus on my work of checking which students were present, I advised that they go work on shooting, because I needed to stay on track. (CM) Although they did not seem interested at first, they eventually began to practice their lay-ups. (CS) Today, I feel as if the students were able to take away more from the lessons than they had on any other day of class.
