Artifact: Lab 2-Motor Development
Date-September 28,2011
Reflection:
My motor development class got the opportunity to go to St. Mary's Catholic school in Cortland. We got to work with kids of all ages and see them grow each time we went back and access their motor skills. On this specific day, Lab 2 we watch and analyzed their skills in running, galloping and hopping. We filled out charts based on each different ability in order to help us access. I found that this was very helpful and useful when I went back to write my reflections. I learned a lot about different skill levels based on age and gender and will definitely use them as I continue to become a better physical educator. The way that we analyzed and accessed these students will benefit the way that I can help my future students become better movers as well!
