TASK A – OBSERVATION/REFLECTION

Observe the interaction between St. Mary’s students and Cortland students.

1. Observe the St. Mary’s student(s) as they participate in the activities.  Describe the variability of the movement patterns you observed in your students.  Be sure to note with whom you worked , what grade they were in, and any differences in age, gender, or ability.  

I noticed most of the students at St. Mary’s could do things like running and walking but struggled with the techniques of more complicated movements like galloping and hop. The students I am talking about are the 1st graders and the kindergarteners.

2. Describe the effective “teaching strategies” that you observed.  What were they and on whom did you use them?  How were they used?  What was the effect?  Were there any strategies that were more effective than others?  If so, why?

I felt the Cortland students used effective strategies to stimulate the St. Mary’s students. They were excited about their games and kept the kids interested by keeping the rules simple. One thing I did see was they did not use music and they seemed to use games the kids were use to. Even though the Cortland students changed the name of the game, the kids caught on that the game was the same as the game they are use to.
