My last class observation fell on game day. The whole event was wonderful and interesting and I am glad that I was able to connect with the students. At the beginning Vickkie divided everyone into teams. Each team had to come up with a flag and an anthem. This really pushed the students to be creative and work together. Game day was tuned to a schedule, however there was time allotted to allow students to take breaks for snacks, bathrooms, and constantly pushing their English. In each classroom the environment was managed a little differently, but all of the teachers were warm, engaging, and enthusiastic. As an observer, it was clear that the students were comfortable in each classroom environment, and weren’t too intimidated to try the games- especially as a group. There was a little miscommunication in keeping score, and some students tried to take advantage of the miscommunications but overall everything flowed together very well.
