Assignment 4
Part A

is some what new, crosswalk and parking lot look like they haven’t been painted in
years, signs are all tagged up with graffiti.
2. The inside was re-done not to long ago, the floor and the lighting seem to be in great
shape, and they have entrance security.

the windows you see all the trophies from past events such as,
football/basketball/baseball/bowling/band/colorguard and dance.
 2. Everyone in the office greeted me well and were all friendly.
3. It seemed like everyone had their own click and a spot where they all meet to hangout in
between classes

left is classrooms.

Part C

2. In the 2 days I was there about 90% of the kids dressed up and participated in the sport.
3. The teacher seemed to joke around with the kids a lot and make them laugh before they
ran their laps and he is a really big guy so they already knew what kind of tone not to
give him

Assignment five
1. The primary reason I became a teacher is to help kids grow and better their lives.
2. The main challenge I face as a teacher is to have all my students engage in one lesson
plan.
3. Summers off!!!
4. Alphabetical order
5. I select the members by letting the 6 kids with the highest grade become captains and
choose their teams.
6. I rarely have to interact with parents. The main reason have interactions with parents is
when students fail because they don’t dress out.
7. I imput grades once a week. I usually do my grading after school in my office
8. Takes about 30 minutes to prepare all classes
9. Down ups and pushups and situps
10. Once a month, they determine my performance by how quickly I transition and engaged
my students are.
11. How many students really don’t care about their grade.

Assignment six
1. The teacher told a student that he has 3 laps for being late and as he was telling him you
can see the distraught on his face with a little bit of anger. So the first lap he was pretty
upset you could tell so he wasn’t really running that hard and once he realized that if he
doesn’t get it done quickly he wouldn’t be able to start his sport on time, so the final 2
laps he actually ran hard and tried. I learned that when he actually tries he is a
phenomenal athlete and has no one pushing him to do his best because his dad is
nowhere to be found.

Assignment seven
1. I observed what it takes to become a PE teacher and how to react to kids who either
want to be there or don’t. I learned that you have to have a lot of patience with kids who
really don’t care what their grade is until they realize they might fail PE. Some kids enjoy
it more than others simply because they care more, some of the kids can be great
athletes but they choose not dress out or be one of those tough guys because it looks
cool to their friends. Doing this has better prepared me for what’s to come when I have
an office of my own one day, teaching kids how to better their lives physically and
mentally. During my field observation I notice that everyone has a different teacher style
as well as learning style. I remember that having fun with the kids while you are doing
your job as well is a great lifestyle.
