| Observing St. Mary's students running, galloping and hopping. |
Reflection: At St. Marys Elementary school each week our Lab section would asses specific skills that the kids would preform in games developed by the SUNY Cortland students. From kicking, dribbling, running and skipping, the Cortland students analyzed
two specific students in their abilities to preform these skills. For our Lab 2 on September 29th we assessed two students with their ability to, run, gallop, and hop. The group that was teaching in the Gym developed games that implemented running, galloping, and hopping. Assessing these students and seeing if they have the critical elements in performing these skills is a very important part of physical education. Understanding how to critique students in motion is important to understand how to guide them to perform these skills based on the Performance Criteria. To see a reflection on the locomoter tasks for running, galloping and hopping see my
reflection.
