During our 2 weeks of teaching our lessons I was able to observe 7 different activities and games. Some of the activities that I was able to experience and observe were practicing balance, baseball or striking skills, badminton, volleyball, tennis, soccer, and dancing. All the activities were different, although some of the activities were similar on the skills we are practicing or learning, but all were unique in their own way. Starting with the balance activity with Jaelyn and Allie the overall activity was very interesting.

Jillian and Marisol instructed us throughout the whole steps and moves, it made it easy to follow the progression of the dance. They had a positive attitude even when we felt embarrassed or afraid we were doing the moves wrong. There is not much I would change in the activity itself, but when someone is doing the moves incorrectly or not participating as much as the other students, I would stand near that student so that they can follow me and I can focus on that student. Another strategy is placing that student around students who have mastered the steps, so that those students can help the student who is
