I began the year from day one as the full time teacher took a maternal leave of abscence. I teach all of the elementary grades pk-5 at least twice a week for thirty minutes each time. The students were introduced to a structured set of rules and routines that are followed daily throughout the year and work together with the Freetown Elementary PBIS system. The students have been taught the aerobic fitness and locomotor skills that are necessary to move safely in general space. At the current time I have only had the opportunity to teach this material however our fitnessgram pre-test are being slow prepared and implemented in this unit so that the transitions through the test can move more smoothly. The lessons have been prepared by the full-time teacher however she has given me the liberty to modify the lessons to showcase my ability and structure as well. I have had a blast and the next six weeks are going to be exciting!

It was close to the same experience as BIS as far as internships, however the class sizes were much different. The students were able to recieve more involvement in the activity as it was faster and easier to engage them into the activites. The classes were run by the tempo to music and the students in my opinion had a more upbeat enthusiasm because of it. The experience was truly special and the mentors were excellent as I carried most of what they said into my long term subbing position at Freetown Elementary.

I was an intern who joined a physical education program with three teachers inside this big intermediate school. The classes were usually team taught by the professionals so my fellow peer intern and I took on the challenge to having up to 70-80 students leading safely through the same or different activities. The experience was amazing and the mentors were excellent and reinforcing positive remarks along with choosing the right times to critique. However we took over the entire classes in the spring and did well with our classroom management and structures.
