Week 8- November 28 and November 30

Todays class was focused on bowling, with previous learnt skills including health and
fitness concepts.. Today, I had a total of fifteen students of my second grade class at Cleveland
Elementary. Equipment used for today included cones, gator balls, and poly spots.. This lesson
was presented on black top, where there were lanes painted for the activity.
The student learning and health related fitness outcomes for November 28 included the
following:
1. Psychomotor

(P): Students will be able to successfully knock down the pyramid

of cones within two rolls.
2. Cognitive

(C): Students will be able to recite to myself and another the skill of
bowling (emphasis on underhand tossing).
3. H-R
Fitness (H): Students will be able to reach at least 50% MVPA in duration of
the class, going towards the recommended amount of physical activity a week.
The student learning and health related fitness outcomes for November 30 included the

2. Cognitive (C): Students will be able to recite to myself and another the skill of
bowling (emphasis on underhand tossing).
3. H-R Fitness (H): Students will be able to reach at least 60% MVPA in duration of
the class, going towards the recommended amount of physical activity a week.
This week was very successful, and a great way to end my time as a Tiger Pride
instructor. I mirrored these two days, so that way students wouldnt stray away from content, in
giving them the best opportunity to succeed as a class. My student learning outcomes were
achieved, with MVPA being way higher than I had initially written down. With bowling being a
sport, the students were able to develop their skills, with the award being that they knock down
the most pins. In order to do so, following the set cues of the skill helped improve the
psychomotor learning outcome. The cognitive outcome was enforced by comparing the skill to
underhand tossing, which was done earlier in the semester.
Students were granted the chance to challenge their skills, improve their development of
the skill, and develop a good sense of sportsmanship in working with and against others.
Students were challenged by changing the distance between them and the pins, as well as
integrating competition amongst the class. Students were also able to perform at a higher level,
applying their skills to a game like scenario. Experience levels were developed, especially since
the majority of the class had never played a real bowling game before.
During the episode, I moved around the class well, being in charge of realigning cones
after they had been knocked down. The view I had really allowed me to watch each of the
students individually. Having the full view allowed me to have feedback for students, which
included constructive criticism to improve accuracy, as well as the development of knowledge

for the sport of bowling. Prior to the class beginning, I gave short and simple instructions,
explaining how this sport is equivalent to the skill of underhand tossing, except the very last part.
Students were able to understand this, and without me saying so, they were able to recite the cues
of the skill-where instead of releasing the ball forward, it was changed to rolling the ball forward.
A student demonstration was given by a student who normally doesnt like to participate, which
proved to the class how much fun it was going to be.
Today, I ended on a high note in improving my teaching skills, including connecting
content to previous activities, as well as encouraging students to have fun in competition, as well
as the use positive feedback for those who do not normally participate.
