Renata's Class

Today we had our first P.E. class and had lots of fun. We worked on setting our goals for the school year and here are some of the goals the students came up with: 10,000 steps each class, being able to run back and fourth the length of the gym 50 times, helping teammates, being able to run 15 laps, getting to know the younger students, running longer distances, getting better at sports, and getting stronger.

Our day consisted with setting goals, Getting to Know You with Toilet Paper, The Human Knot, and we ended the day with some free time.

Getting to Know You with Toilet Paper was a activity to get to know a little bit about your classmates. During this activity the students were handed a roll of toilet paper and asked to take as many squares as they wanted to. The class range was 1-3 pieces. After they had their pieces of toilet paper they were asked to tell us something the was interesting about themselves. The amount of things they need to tell us was the amount of squares they took. This was very interesting; we got answers such as happy, sneaky, and energetic.

The next activity was The Human Knot. The Human Knot is a team building activity to learn how to work together. The students were in a circle. They had to reach across the circle and grab someone's left hand, then they grabbed someone else's right hand. Now they were in a human knot. The goal was to get the knot undone without letting go of hands. The students had a blast and worked well together.
