Reflection:

In my Motor Development class every Monday we were asked to go to St. Mary’s school to work with children. It was a very positive experience and I learned a lot. Motor Development will benefit me in my future career of becoming a Physical education teacher. I learned very useful skills that I will definitely use throughout my life. Working with the children was a great opportunity and I taught many useful principals that relate to physical activity and fitness.

In track and Field class I learned the skills you need to teach children. Over the winter break I went back to my old high school and helped my coach show the girls the skills you need in track.

Over the summer I worked at Young Peoples day camp. We had a week called Olympic week where we participated in numerous activities and worked together to keep the kids involved. For a week straight I kept the kids active and got to experience a lot of social interaction.
