Walking up to the school you can tell a lot just by looking at it. The school had one floor and every classroom window seemed to be decorated with student art work, which may be typical of any upstate elementary school. But once you walked inside its almost as if you walked into a world of student achievement. You can tell from the atmosphere that Mott Road Elementary School was big on <a href="http://www.kidscandoanything.com/">character education</a> and started it from a very early age. Throughout the school there were several bulletin boards that displayed good behavior or acts rewards that the students received monthly.<br />

Now for the purpose of our trip we wanted to meet the teachers of the physical education program that C-State has been hearing so much about. Tom Winiecki and Kory McMahon (both Cortland Grads), who run a program that encompasses all that we feel Phys Ed should be. This program gets students motivated, active and enthused about fitness and physical activity. Speaking to Mr. Winiecki and Mr. McMahon was about the best thing I did all last week. Its great to see people in the field you are wishing to embark on that still enjoy and care for what they are doing. After a brief interview with Mr. Winiecki, he says "... teaching P.E is what I love to do and wouldn't change it for the anything..." The Mott Road Elementary P.E. program offers several units for the student to participate in that ranges from dancing skills to juggling, and bowling to adventure activities. When we took our visit we happened to walk in during the gymnastics unit for which they have actual parallel and uneven bars (this equipment happens to be shared throughout the district).<br />

Mott Road Elementary (MRE) has a before school/recess program where students are allowed to come in and play Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) to get their heart rates up and going. Students have access a total 6 DDR mats and each station is split 2 complete with a large projector so that the game is projected onto the wall. While DDR is going student can also wear pedometers keep track of their steps. Once students reach over certain amount of steps the get different prizes depending on the achievement.<br />
<br />
<br />
As we all know many schools in New York and around the US fail to make the required <a href="http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/pe/peqa.html" target="_blank">minutes of PE each week</a> but MRE has taken a stand against that and started the "Morning Fitness Walk". At 9:00 all students (and I do mean all the students K-4) poured out of each and every classroom and begin a vigorous walk along the walls along through the entire school. All teachers and administrational staff participated too! (so did I).<br />

Overall, I truly enjoyed my visit to Mott Road Elementary. If I had to change anything I was change very little. I enjoyed the morning fitness walk but instead of having one music station in the middle, I would have 4 different types of music in each corner. I commend Mr. Winiecki and Mr. McMahon for there successful program!</div>

Last semester whooo hooo! It's getting closer and closer to May 11th and just like any other graduate, I'm <a href="http://youtu.be/WtujqnNOIzM">extremely excited.</a> In case you didn't know before, I attend SUNY Cortland and I'm in the first cohort of its Physical Education Leadership Master program. <br />
<a name='more'></a>I did my undergrad here as well in physical education of course :) but honestly this is great school if you want to work with people who are passionate about the same causes you are.<br />
In our program we focus on innovative practices in physical education and work on bringing them to life. This semester we have our practicum where we will visit several schools who exhibit extraordinary P.E practices. I shall display them here for you to see!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
stay tuned for more about the program and the school I visit this semester!Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03154081910392436721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276005616414865085.post-62543331136389484022011-07-04T13:59:00.003-04:002012-02-09T11:49:56.015-05:00Need some Motivation ideas?Need to motivate your students for P.E. After doing some observation work for multiple districts in the inner city I know that motivation is key to dealing with these students. Most of them just want to know that you care, others just want a challenge, either way you look at it these students need your motivation. <br />

What does DDR entail?
In DDR players stand on a "dance platform" or stage and hit colored arrows laid out in a cross with their feet to musical and visual cues. Players are judged by how well they time their dance to the patterns presented to them and are allowed to choose more music to play to if they receive a passing score.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Why and How DDR should be used in school?</span><br />

It includes appeals to everyone students, parents, teachers and parents alike. DDR includes musics that are fit to a modern or classic crowd as along as you can step to it DDR includes it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">You can start a “Step if you can Step if you dare” program similar to "Step Across America", where the whole school can participate even administration and teachers. In this program, you can use different incentives maybe gold coins maybe coupons to a health spa in town, that say if you get a certain amount of steps you can earn this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">DDR is a great way to boost heart rates and boost smiles </span></div>

I was able to use a product called <a href="http://www.hyper-game.com/hyper-dash/">Hyper Dash</a> and integrate it into my lesson warm-up. In your warms ups or instant activities, you want to include the many of the components of sport and health-related fitness. This is exactly what this warm up does! This warm-up includes agility, coordination, reaction time, speed and power while students work cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju_eKLbYkxP8mlQB_5HVLlMe3cJ0Bin2O8nLb1Ou2oS_0RAIdAtRJYGCHWCcJU3GkHHugn0u7oIRH2bPWmutzXCvwdzO_RTownwaUAmuLuaV53oaUVNYWoNo7GR9R-ez2YGewsY9Hj2a8/s1600/153_0054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju_eKLbYkxP8mlQB_5HVLlMe3cJ0Bin2O8nLb1Ou2oS_0RAIdAtRJYGCHWCcJU3GkHHugn0u7oIRH2bPWmutzXCvwdzO_RTownwaUAmuLuaV53oaUVNYWoNo7GR9R-ez2YGewsY9Hj2a8/s200/153_0054.JPG" width="200" /></a>This warm-up was prepared to teach to middle school age students but can be modified to fit all age groups. The props were add-ons so you are able to tailor the activity to your liking. After watching the video I would change a few things: 1) I would make sure I had working batteries 2) I would change the locomotor movements throughout the activity 3) make better use of space. Overall, I believe it was a pretty good warm. A warm-up like this is best used at the end of a unit because students really enjoy this type of team activities and it gives them incentive to work harder.<br />
<br />
When you hear technology in physical education you don't always have to think, "Well I don't have the budget for that." The Hyper Dash and similar tools are available at very low prices. Hyper Dash is priced at 19.99 and can be found at your local children's store. I believe using smalls tools like this will help motivate your students, and now I ask you this... Are you ready to change P.E?<br />

Heres a video I created sometime ago that I really take to heart. The assignment was to create a video that includes audio and visuals of your choice that expresses the way you feel about your journey to become a teacher. Listen to the words of the songs that I used... Live in my moment.</div>

Hey, it's your favorite P. E Queen here to update you on whats been going on in my world. Since the last time we talked, I've graduated from SUNY Cortland with my Bachelors in Physical Education!!! Yes, finally after all this time I'm done "Momma I made it!"and to kick off this wonderful celebration guess whatI have planned ??? I'm taking a trip to <s>Disneyland </s> SUNY Cortland Grad School! More school but I'm still excited.<br />

As if physical education couldn't be more fun, I'll be learning to apply different types of technology in the classroom to attract and keep students in engaged. People, I'm excited for what the next couple of weeks has in store for me and you have a backstage pass into whats going on<br />

I really wanted to fight it, class is over but I just want to bloggggggggg lol (dont judge me). So while I watch the game ...heres how my day went (current score: magics 86 celtics 86)<br />
<br />
<br />
Today, I attended Boys and Girls High school in Brooklyn, NY. Back when I was in high school this was one of the best schools in the Brooklyn now, since the old principal has passed away, the school going through reconstruction of sort. The school is now dealing with student scoring within level 1 and 2 on standardize test and students that dont really want to learn. Now my host teachers name is Kendra Nelson who is one of the youngest in the P.E. staff. I find her to be quite fascinating because she's actually finding new ways to keep her students involved and engaged.<br />
The classes I'm working with are all inclusive which mean that special needs students are integrated in our class. Kendra is a great teacher for these students and a great teacher me she allows me to share ideas with her that would increase activity in the classroom. Hopefully tomorrow was as great as today!Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03154081910392436721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276005616414865085.post-89980900476245095032010-05-17T17:12:00.000-04:002010-05-17T17:13:22.337-04:00Professional Portfoilio Day!!!<table style="width: auto;"><tbody>

This was a great thing to go to I really enjoyed myself when I went. I was able to steal some ideas from graduates about what makes their portfolios stand out from everyone else. One girl used ribbons another fancy paper. But overall the content they used was profound and reading reflections of different students had were amazing.

As you may know I am a very involved leader on this <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">SUNY</span> Cortland campus at times this was overwhelming but getting my 10 of outside practice was a breeze.<br />
During this semester I was granted a Resident Assistant position in Glass Tower. As an RA you are responsible for putting on programs for the residence that live there. I recently I did a program on stress relief and taught the students various yoga positions and then as a group we put them altogether into one routine. The students enjoyed this program so much they wanted to do it again. This was valuable experience working with my peers and giving them feedback on their technique, in return the students gave me feed on how well the program was and rate me on my teaching techniques.<br />
Throughout the year I also serve on the executive board of the Caribbean Students Association. Throughout the semester we hold club meetings and event where we teach our members bout issues and events concerning the Caribbean. I feel this time spent can contribute to the outside teaching because in order for each meeting to go on it took a lot of planning and implementing. A lot of what I learned in 255 this semester I even used during our meeting time like instant activities and hooking our members into coming back again next week.<br />
Another extracurricular activity I have is babysitting an 10 month old baby name <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Jaylah</span> Scott. She was bunches of fun. I would spend time going over ABC's and doing recognition activities with her. By the end of our times together I feel that she really did learn the differences between shapes and recognized some her ABC's. <br />
So all together I reached the goal of 10 hours of outside practice.<br />
RA programs 1.5 x 2= 3<br />
CSA meetings and Event =5x 1=5<br />
Baby Sitting Hours 2 x 3 = 6<br />
total =14 hours!!!!!!!<br />

Teaching here has become a big part of my life and I have grow close to the students here. So close in fact I know that the students need and want to get out of the gym. At this point you must be saying " Well why don't you plan lessons and just do it?." unfortunately because of budget cuts at our school we were forced to cut the budget for the Physical Education program to less than half it was last year. Our school in is desperate need for new equipment and supplies. We have a school yard that has not been used in years because of its and unsafe environment to bring students into. As an Physical Educator it is my duty to raise physically competent students, now I'm doing the best I can with what we have here but its sad to say that it is not enough.</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">My colleagues and have created P.E units that are cost effective.I have built a successful unit around the sport Disc Golf. This is a upcoming sport that the students have shown interest in and a chance to show students that Physical Education can happen outside the gym as well. This is more than just a cry for money this is heart felt letter saying we need to do more for our students. Thank you for taking the time out to read my letter I hope to take it into consideration.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">This was a very interesting news piece to my surprised. The information that was given through the video shows why we need "good physical education" in schools. I wasn't surprised at the fact that students learning increase because its proven that physical activity places you in a more focused state of mind. Physical activity like this should be placed in classroom all around the world but still adding other technology aspects of P.E. like DDR. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">3) Why don’t we hear anything about the PE teacher being involved with City Park Collegiate experiment? How will ensure that your PE program will be a benefit to the students and faculty of your school<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">As they said in the video this was an alternative school. Schools like this don't put as much focus P.E. as they would math or science. The main focus of alternative schools is to improve the students knowledge to get them into the next level. Is this good? No! If this was my school I turn the whole project around into a reason of why we need vigorous and longer period for physical Education in order to improve the students in ALL subjects not just one or two while also improving students over health and increasing years of healthy life.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">4) What are were the main outcomes/benefits of the program? Were you surprised from their findings? Are these outcomes similar to our New York State PE Standards? Explain your answer by giving details and examples, while comparing and contrasting.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">The main benefits of the program are that the students improve in their academics and were more focus and easier to handle in the classroom. Like I said before I didn't find the results to surprising because as a teacher of P.E. I know that after vigorous workout I more relaxed, attentive and after a workout is when i do my best work. I find it upsetting that the teachers didn't speak on the added benefits throughout the video yes the students the were able to get their heart rates up but they also shed calories and lost weight due to the program overall. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I would say that the outcomes fitness program meets the New York State physical education standards. Standard 1, personal health and fitness, is achieved because students are improving their health by decreasing their risk of obesity and increasing their physical fitness levels by participating in physical activity. Standard 2, safe and healthy environment, is achieved through this program because the teachers are involved in leading vigorous workouts for the students. Improving the student’s health is achieved in a safe environment, the school. Getting the students energy out by a vigorous workout will increase classroom productivity because the students will be more focused and there will be a decrease in hostility. Standard 3, resource management, is achieved through this program by providing students opportunities outside of the classroom to be involved in physical activity. The teacher can discuss places for students to go to work out or participate in physical activity outside of the school.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">5) What is BDNF and what does it have to do with PE and learning? How do you get BDNF or other associated goodies? What are the names of two of the “key” books and their authors that currently outline the benefits of exercise and learning/academics? At least one is mentioned in the news piece<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other growth factors, stimulate neurogenesis, increase resistance to brain insult and improve learning and mental performance. Article called Exercise Enhances Learning and Dr. John Ratey’s Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain are the key books associated with the findings.<o:p></o:p></span></div><!--EndFragment-->Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03154081910392436721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276005616414865085.post-46374344019669902192010-04-07T13:22:00.000-04:002010-04-12T23:49:12.055-04:00DISC GOLf (I Got That Fire!!!!)<div>This lab was definitely a success. Everything that we been working on the entire semester came together April 7, 2010 @ 11:35 am.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S8aFTzmeKMg&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S8aFTzmeKMg&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></span></div><div> First let me say during this I was a nervous a high school students taking their SATs. Whoooooooooooosaaaaaaaa once I was going I was gone. During this lesson I felt I had a lot to prove to myself and to Mr Yang that I could do this this teacher thing and I understand whats going on. I believe I passed that obstacle with flying colors. Although, when the music during my instant activity went off and so did I, but recovered quite well .</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gxEiOiUQCZE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gxEiOiUQCZE&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></span></div><div>I believe this class help me somewhat get over my fear of public speaking, forced me to be extra prepared. Throughout the semester I improved on all the points on the C9 my main dilemma is probably time management, actually getting the students into more activity rather than just talking to them for more than half of the lesson. I talked for one whole segment of the video -_- no bueno. But I'm still working on it, like wine I get better with time. Most things really came together for me during this lesson except for my shirt -_- ugh! Lets not talk about it (I was in such a rush to leave and set up the lesson that I picked up put on the wrong shirt) </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zju_mQdXMsA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zju_mQdXMsA&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"></span>Overall I really enjoyed teaching this lesson, I enjoyed teaching with my peers.

I know in my last post that this was something i was going to work on but there was so much that factored in with this one lesson. Girl born raise in Brooklyn teaching broom-ball I sport I never even heard of before I transferred into C-State. Two this was a group project ( kinda - sorta a lil) but me and group projects just don't get along. Three I know I'm a PE major but me and tactical sports never see eye to eye (sorry I don't fit your stereotype I want to teach dance but yes i will include EVERYTHING into the program.) Then Four everything else in life that decided to hit all at once and i just didn't know how to deal, I couldn't function it was a very grey period. *sidebar * this is not a cop out honest truth I was very overwhelmed. Which is the reason I'm late with this post.<div><br /></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EoxWNvrrBd4&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EoxWNvrrBd4&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></span></div><div>With this lesson I wanna pat my self on the back *pat pat * because I was so well prepared I felt in the beginning stages. Everything I felt I planned out I was going great until it came to the actual teaching time I choked. I didn't have enough balls for my instant activity monkey in the middle. Then everything kinda went down hill from there. *Note* You could never be over prepared. By right i should of had two activities prepared but I didn't. In this lesson I prepared Strategic plays for the class to learn and perform during a game- like situation. ( which i came up with myself *pat pat* .) These were good but I should of went through each play with the group demonstrate what I want to see from them. Watching the video some of the class looked lost even though I went around and asked how everyone was doing with the plays and try to explain it, a demo would of had them going a lot sooner. </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bU6yK8kJK-0&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bU6yK8kJK-0&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object></span></div><div>I really need to work one being clear to the students. I realize that when i actually go out in the teaching field students will be younger most times they wont understand the thoughts flowing through my head ( heck! half the time I don't) but I have some key points in preparation that I did for this lesson that I didn't do for others, and key points in preparation for other that i didn't do here.

Buttttt I talked way too much way. One thing I do is when im nervous I start to second guess my explanations. I always question in my mind did the person truly understand me and then without asking i start explaining it all over again until im satisfied. When is that? I don't even know.<br /><br />We all know that in order to be the best you have to have practice time. and I feel that my practice time is showing within my lessons. Compared to my first lesson I have shown so much improvement. Before my classroom management skills and comfortability ( is that even a word?) with my peers was just horrid but within this lesson can tell I tried to improve on them and I reach the normal comfort zone.<br />I should of explained who the Harlem Globetrotters were that really bothers that i didn't go into that although some students knew who they were looking at the video not enough did. I really need to work on my closure of the lesson, sometime i just get so worked up and so many thoughts are flowing in my head that when i speak everything start pouring out. So working on my anxiety would be a next thing. and FEED BACK !!! I tried to give at least 65% of the classroom feedback or at least some kind of facet time.<br /><br /><br />so feedback Checking for understanding and anxiety ... working on it got it good!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ARK_Sfc0RE-EZGRuMmt4ZF82emMzNHd6ZDY&hl=en">Transcript </a><br /><a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ARK_Sfc0RE-EZGRuMmt4ZF83c3o1anE4aGY&hl=en">Feedback form </a><br />Time Coding Sheet<br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/491reb0zz9">Audio</a> <br /><br /><br />On to the next one !!!Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03154081910392436721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276005616414865085.post-37790809267640551522010-03-20T23:15:00.000-04:002010-03-29T16:55:25.465-04:00Leave of Absence?!?As I take this journey in the Physical Education Realm, it clear to me that the path would be rocky i but i wasn't prepared for so much instability on my part.
