Introduction
For the past 3 weeks or so I’ve been doing my fieldwork at Sharpstown International. During these days I’ve spent all of my time in the P.E. gym, and I love it. I work with two different classes during each period, and all the kids range middle to high school. My instructor is Ms. Sevier, and she is a blast to work with. Every day is different, and you never know exactly what is going to happen. I’m an extremely active person, so the idea of physical education is perfect towards my interests. These past couple of weeks have really shown me what it’s like to be in that environment, and I know that I could excel in this form of teaching. So now I’m going to let you in on how my days have gone, and all the great situations I’m put in every day.

class it’s very different. You really get to see the different sides of the students as they get to move around and be physically active. That may be the case, but at the same time you can still see those teaching and learning situations come into effect. Just because you’re in a different setting doesn’t mean you necessarily have to switch up your teaching styles completely. During the beginning of the year, my instructor Ms. Sevier, really set the guidelines on how things were going to play out. Now she didn’t just jump right onto to it though, she took it step by step in the form of scaffolding. Ms. Sevier did things such as modeling, hints, and giving suggestions on how to properly perform the activity (Snowman, J. and McCown, R. 2015). This proved to be an effective way of instructing. It was clear to see that at first the students didn’t quite understand the exercises, but as the days went on they gradually began to comprehend the material. Now the students can show up to class, get in their stretch lines, and perform the exercises without the teacher having to be there to give
