End of semester
How did the semester go for you? Was Adventure Ed what you expected? What was your favorite moment of the semester? What was your least favorite moment of the semester other than the dreadful fitness days? What are your goals for next semester? What could I have done differently to make your experience better in this class?

Overall, I thought this semester was really fun! I got to know a lot of people who I've never talked to before so that was cool.
ReplyDeleteOutdoor adv. was a little different from what I expected it to be. I thought we would be doing a lot of rappeling and things you would normally not do in a regular gym class but we did a lot of fitness too. Which can be dreadful at times but it's a PE class.. of course we have to exercise.. right?
My favorite moment would probably be the trust fall (falling from the big block in the gymnastics room) or rappeling going face forward. That was really fun! My least favorite was when we would have to spend almost a week trying to get everyone across/over a certain obstacle.
My goal for next semester is to work harder on the fitness days. I think we should go in the bike room more often though. I think more of us will work harder that way. We can talk to our friends at the same time so that motivates us.
I can't really think of anything that you could do to make my experience better in this class... you must be doing a good job then :)
Thanks for a great first semester H!

H! I thought this was a great semester! I had so much fun. I know through all my fears and crazy reactions, I have actually gotten over some of them. Yes, i'm emotional...we all kno that now!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment was when we roller bladed half way around harper college and then we realized you weren't behind us anymore. I had blisters for weeks because I didn't wear socks that day. We had to skate back reidiculously fast and were 15 min late to second period. Greatest day ever!
My worst moment was probablly climbing over the stupid uneven bars!! ah! that was hard because I couldn't get my leg over the top bar without feeling like I was going to fall!
You are a great teacher and I can't wait for second semester! Climbing will be a blast. I think it's great that with a class thats mainly girls, you partially understand us all. way to go!

I liked rappeling the best but the team building activities were a pain since i guess we have problems cooperating and working together. i think that working on trust is important though and im slowly getting to trust my group more and more.
ReplyDeletei really liked the team building stuff even though it was frustrating at times. i like rappeling too and i felt like i could really trust my group =]
ReplyDeleteas a teacher i really liked how you put the effort into trying to get to know everyone. i dont think ive ever really had a gym teacher that did that so i think you did a good job. haha

I thought this semester was okay. It was definitely not what i expected. We did a lot more different types of stuff than i thought we would. My favorite part of this semester was probably the rollerblading because it was a lot more individual, and it was just really fun. My least favorite was probably some of the teamwork stuff that took too long and didn't accomplish a whole lot, but overall, i thought it was a good class. Next semeser, I plan to be in class everydayy so maybe you will like me better! :) haha but i thought you did a good job teaching this class.

I thought this semester of gym was pretty fun. I missed a lot of the stuff in the beginning, but when I came back it was easy for me to catch on and become part of the class. The class was similar to what I expected; I didn't think we would do so much fitness, but the fitness days wake me up so its not always a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of this semester was the repelling. I really liked trying all the different ways and getting to know the people in my group was fun too. My least favorite part was probably the island team building activity because I felt people were just getting angry with each other and other people just didnt care. Overall, it was pretty frustrating.
Next semester I want to meet more people and learn to be more trusting. I think one thing to improve fitness days would be to mix up the things we do instead of the same stuff. That said, I think you're a great teacher and you taught the class well =]
The semester was fun, overall. I didn't expect so much team building stuff or fitness days, but I guess those are probably the msot important. My favorite is rapelling and my least favorite were the team building activities at the beginning of the year when no one knew eachother very well. My goal is to relearn everyone's names in the class.

I think this semester went really well. Adventure Ed was not what i expected because i learned alot more about safety and knots then i expected too. My favorite moment of the semester was definelty rappeling forward and upside down because i definetly didn't expect myself to do that. My goals for next semester are proably to challenge myself more. I don't think you can do anything to improve because you did a really good job explaning things throughly and i learned a lot.

This semester went pretty well. I wasn't expecting all of the team building activities. My favorite moment would have to be rappelling and my least favorite was the team building activities that we never could figure out. Next semester i hope we do more adventure stuff and more group activities like with rappelling.

H! i loved this semester of outdoor adventure. i think that we have a really good group of kids in the class, we all learned to trust eachother and we all get along which makes it alot easier to do group activities. i really love rappelling, i think its fun and i hope we do more fun group challenges. because i really learned how to trust others and trusting myself!
ReplyDeletecant wait for 2nd semester it will be great!

first semester of outdoor has been quite an experience.although some people are saying they don't like our team building activities,I must say I enjoy them.it shows us how our class can work together and at times shows us what we need to work on.I've built more trust with people as the class continued on.I think your doing a great job teaching us and being there to explain everything.I hope second semester is as fun and eventful as our first.

first semester was fun and i enjoyed it. I got to know some new ppl. I think it helped me with my social skills. i'm not rly a social guy at school but outside of school i am. Rappeling was fun and i always enjoyed doing that when i was little when i went to rock climbing. i rly don't know wat is me least favorite besides fitness. It's gym and unhealthy not to excercise at all. I think your doing a good job and i hope second semester will be more fun and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo far i have loved outdoor adventure!! It's getting more fun and challenging each week! I think everyone's getting along and trusting each other more than we did a couple months ago! It's definitely a fun group and i'm excited for what you have planned for us next semester. You're a fun teacherr and it's a great start to the day, except for when we're all sweaty ):

p.s. OMG MICHELLE REYES ACTUALLY BLOGGED! what a surprise (:
HOla!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell i enjoyed this class so much this semester, it was crazy. My favorite part of the class was discovering the fears i have and as well the friendships i got now. Sometimes it was very challenging and sometimes it was easy. I learned so much about myself and trusting people. And yeah, that's it for now. I hope to be in better shape next semester and do my best.
LA clase Adventure 1, es la mejor, no solo por que estoy yo claro, pero porque tenemos uno de los mejores profesores de la escuela.

this semester was actually a lot of fun (for the days that i actually did come). when i was in kellers gym class last year i saw the adventure class repelling and rollerblading so thats what i expected. i expected that by the end of the semester we would be really close as a class and share stuff with eachother that would only stay with the class kind of like leadership does but that never really happened and i can still say i dont know some peoples names.
ReplyDeletemy least favorite moment was doing the thing where we were all blindfolded in moved together inside a rope. i am really clostriphobic so i hated that a ton.
my favorite moment was repelling face first!! it was scary but really fun.
for next semester i want to do scary stuff like repelling from a higher point or clinbing on the wall. im excited for devils lake.

overall, I'd say this semester was pretty awesome and it went by really fast. Adventure ed wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I thought we'd be doing a lot more rapelling and trust activities and less fitness days :). My favorite moment of the semester was probably doing the trust falls and rapelling because even though I was scared to do it I still had fun. My least favorite part of the semester was at the very beginning when we had to do those clock partner things. I'm glad I got to talk to people I usually wouldn't talk to but I just thought it was slightly awkward. My goals for next semester is get to know my new class the way I got to know this class. I hope next semester we rapell from higher spots and start to climb! But all in all, I had a really good time this semester and I'll miss the whole class :)

The semester went pretty ok for me. Adventure Ed turned out to be exactly like i thought it would be. My favourite part of the whole semester was the trust falls-and/or the roller blading. that was fun.for next semester, i plan on improving on the literacy portion of outdoor adventure-apart from that, everything's just peachy.

wellll i think this semester was good :) sometimes H was a little crabby like on my birthday when you yelled at me :( haha but other than that it was pretty good. reppeling was a lot of fun for sure but i think what i enjoyed most were the team buliding activities we played.i felt like we all had a lot of fun getting to know eachother a little and we were able to just combine all of our ideas and have a good time with it all. i wanna work on being able to trust my classmates better next semester so well see how that goes. overall it was alot of fun and im hoping it just gets better :)
