Our final Motor Develop Lab was last Tuesday. It was less
formal than our pervious labs as we are winding down. We did not prepare activities
however; we were put on the spot to come with some. In the face of this,
I was surprisingly not nervous. Moreover, I was excited for the spontaneity. In addition each
group had to teach a dance. Well, we taught the Chicken Dance and I use the
word taught loosely (since most of the children already knew the dance). We also played a few group activities with the
Parachute. Overall, the last day was a fun and relaxing farewell to the Dryden
students.
Throughout the experience, I feel that I have grown. Given
the opportunity to work hands on
with children K-5th grade, I now have a better understanding of
different activities and task that are developmental appropriate for children
at these varying levels. In addition, I gain some useful information about how
to work (talk, manage, busy) younger-aged children. Although there is still much to learn, I am grateful
for what I have acquired and excited for further opportunities for professional
growth. Thank you Dryden Elementary School and students for all the great times
we shared.
