Today at St. Mary's we were faced with dealing with a different environment. Today the chorus was using the gym which forced us to move outside and downstairs in the cafeteria. My game was a station game where some of the characters from toy story were at each station and at each station would be different activities to perform related to the specific character. At the alien station the children jumped rope, the buzz lightyear station they dribbled the threw the ball up against the wall (to infinity and beyond), the woody station they kicked it like the cowboy woody and passed soccer balls back the forth with a partner, and at the piggy station students had a coin toss with each other with snowballs and then would put the "coins" into the piggy bank. Overall I felt the stations worked out really well and we were able to evaluate the student's skills with dribbling and kicking a ball. At some points I got a little frustrated with some of the students who didn't want to participate and cooperate because it was after school and they just wanted to do their own thing. Once I stepped back and realized that it was going two students out of a whole bunch I felt more successful. I guess you will always face those couple that won't listen and will be defiant. I really did enjoy my experience today though and I think i'm finally starting to really get the hang of it.
