On every single P.E class, I came prepared for class by having my water bottle, always wearing gym strip/clothes (including foot-wear,) and had my hair tied up in a ponytail. I participated a lot during the fitness days. This is because we were able to test our abilities for different activities and we were able to go at our own pace. The normal sports days were kind-of a struggle for me because I'm not a 'sports person' and playing with the higher grades made me feel a bit awkward.
I think I contribute in the class well because I always participated in various sports. I think I'm always a happy or ready to do anything type of person during gym class. Although I may not be happy with all the sports we play, I guess it's fun to just play and learn different techniques every class. I'm not the most social person in the world but I think I interact with the class pretty good. Since I got into gym class with none of my friends, trying to have 'workout buddies' was somewhat difficult for me.
I was able to accomplish a lot during the fitness days. My favorite activity was the community run. I was able to run without stopping and at the end of it all, I think it really helped me learn how to control my pace without being too easy on myself. My fitness goal is to go running more often.
To me, leadership means to be encouraging and supporting to others. I think the best leader to me was the teacher assistants. I think they were a great leader because they always pushed you to do your best and made you participate in all the games we play at gym.
I want to be 'fit' by the end of the year. I think being healthy is very important in life and maintaining my physical appearance by playing sports and running will be a key to my health. I am most proud that I was able to participate a lot in gym class.
I think my letter grade for now is an A. Even though I'm not the best at every single sport, I think I participated well in class, and tried my best for half the semester.

Shiho - you have posted some really great reflections. I am glad to hear that you have already internalized your motivation and moved away from trying to impress your teacher! I think you will get a lot more from Active Learning with this mindset. It is great that you are enjoying the fitness days - you should be proud of your hard work so far.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another semester. I agree that you should have an A in AL, based on your participation and positivity. Keep up the great work.
