Clinical Field Experience A: Physical Activity
Physical activity is very important to young children’s development. It teaches them how to socialize with others, gain skills and knowledge. Also, how to regulate emotions and behaviors. I had the chance to learn more about physical activity by doing observation in Mrs. Carter Pre-K class. Since her class does not go to related art, they have two recess breaks during the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon right before nap. They are allotted 60 minutes of play each day and have center time in their classroom as well. Mrs. Carter also incorporate Physical activity in her lesson plan. They were doing a lesson on shapes. A shape will pop up on the smart board and whoever had that shape in their hand had to do whatever the song was saying. For an example if the child was holding a square they had to stand and if they had a circle they would have to squat and so on. This kept the kids motivated and engaged in the lesson. Mrs. Carter says she is always thinking of ways to add physical activity to her lesson plan at least twice per week. I like how she includes physical activity in her lesson plans since they don’t go to related arts. A lot of people think physical activity only means outdoor activity and it doesn’t. Even with them getting two recess breaks they still are allowed to have center time in class. Sopo when I become a teacher, I would like to allow my class much physical activity in my lesson as I can. My experience in Mrs. Carter class was nothing but amazing and she is a great teacher and I hope to be just like her one day.
