Happy Halloween! We have been in class for 4o days. Think back to the start of the year and let us know where you are at with the class? What role did you play this quarter? How did the class meet your expectations?
Since the start of this year, I have become more comfortable with my classmates and I've learned to trust all of them through the numerous activities that we have done so far. I played the role of helping others and becoming more familiar with everyone in the class. So far the class had met my expectations, I have met a ton of people and we are all bonding as a class which I think is really awesome.
We've all gotten to know each other really well since the beginning of the school year. We're a lot more comfortable with our classmates, and that's mainly because of all the team buidling activities we have been doing. I've made a ton of new friends in our class and learned a lot about them.
I'm very comfortable with the class n working with everyone. and I'm really not affraid to look like an idiot anymore when I'm doing these activities. i mean there are some things that could change like the side convos when we're trying to do the activities as a whole, but it prolly won't be something that will happen right away. I think it was more of a way to familiarize us with everything and to raise our comfortable level by making us do stupid things we normally wouldn't do so that we feel more confident bout ourselves. and the roll i think i played in this class.....uh i don't know how to say it w.o sounding you know all nose high up in the air, but i think i kinda played a big roll in the class... you know leadership n shiz. and expectations- um i really didn't have really a lot of expectations for the class except to have fun. i really didn't know that we were going to do this whole thing about self esteem/confidence boosting theme thing, but i like it a lot it's actually helping me out a ton. bc i use to be this kid that never talked bc i was affraid to not be socially accepted n now its like who cares bout that I'll always be accepted for who i am. there will always be someone that i can count on to you know have my back n stuff so ya.. haha all in all this class was more than i signed up for and i really like it.
In the beginning, I was only comfortable talking and sharing ideas to my friends. But, now I am comfortable with all my classmates. I have also developed more trust for my classmates than before. I have played a role in this class my being respectful and trustful and sharing ideas with the class. I like how in the class we do a lot of team building activities so that we can develop trust and friendship with each other (:
I've definitely grown more comfortable with the people in our class since the beggining of the year. I would never speak up during our end of the period discussions, but now I am able to voice my thoughts and opinions without hesitation. I have learned to trust more people and rely on others. I like htat our activities consist of teamwork. It really teaches all of us that in life we'll have to work with people that we dont get along with, or we dont like, but in the end you have to respect them and their ideas. I am looking forwar to many more fun activities. :)
I'm a lot more comfortable with these people than before. The activites are strange and it makes bonding easier. The class is more fun than physical than I thought.
After being in the class, I've learned many valuable things. I really feel more comfortable around my classmates now. I've learned to trust others more and to listen to everyones ideas. I really enjoy doing the team building activities. Although it seems like such a simple task, we all group together and make it work. I feel that this class has a lot of potential to grow closer to each other. I'm really excited for this coming quarter and new activitites.
After this quarter I feel a lot more comfortable with everyone in the class. I feel like I could trust people in the class and I don't have to worry when we are working as a team. This quarter I tried to give my suggestions but also follow everyone elses suggestions and listen. This class was a lot more team building than I tought it would be, but it was also I lot more fun than I ever expected a gym class to be.
This quarter was really fun and interesting. I learned about my classmates and how to make my ideas known. I tried to contribute my ideas and provide rational thinking to our class. This class is an awesome break to my obnoxiously academic day and I really enjoy the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
I feel a lot more comfortable with the class as a whole, although I think we still have a long way to go in terms of working together and being 100% comfortable. I think the team-building and activities are helping us to become more comfortable and "team-like". It has been fun getting to know my peers and the activities are always fun. This quarter, I spoke up a few times during class. Other days, I admit, I was involved in the side conversations we all hate when trying to achieve a goal. When I did speak up, it was nice to have my ideas heard by the class and I liked helping to reach our goal. Coming in to this class at the beginning of the year, I did not really have an expectation besides rock climbing later in the year and doing other fun things. So far, the "fun things" part has exceeded my expectation.
I really like our gym class. I was expecting that sometime people would be hard to get along with, but we all seem to be able to cooperate well. I was expecting this class to be really fun and it has been because of all the really great people in our class. My role was one of encouraging people and thinking of ideas that helped contribute to our goal, much the same as most people, because everyone encourages each other and brings good ideas to the group.
In the beginning of the year, I only talked to the people that knew. Now, I talk to like everyone there and I feel more comfortable The class is fun and very different then what I thought it would be.
I'm happy to say that I know everyone's names now and even better, I feel comfortable doing team building activities and other crazy abnormal things with them. I think everyone is so nice, and who knows, we could maybe create a big happy family by the end of the year. The thing I love about this class, is to me, I don't feel a great sence of "Cliqueiness" to this class. This class seems to be the only class we have to coorperate together as a whole, and I found that the be a really educational and eye-opening experience. When working together, we have to forget about all those things that sperate us, and work on what connects us. I learned to view people and just people and not lable them with a specific group. Everyone one has something they contribute, and we should all give each other a chance to show what we can contribute. Overall this class definetly met my expections of becoming more close and comfortable. On top of that, this class is extremely fun!
With the quarter coming to a closure I feel as if the ice has been broken in our class and that we're all alot more comfortable with interacting with one another. I'm able to interact with the other people in our class more openly than I was able to in the beginning of the year for sure. In the end, this class is one of my only classes that lets me open my mind and I'm loving every minute of it. :)
From the beginning of the school year to the eand of the quater, we as a class have been able to adjust to evryone's personality. We have worked on being responsible, trustwothry, respectful, kiund, caring, etc...
The Quater was meant for us to build friendships and understand our faults. As a class we have found out alot of mistakes when we do a team building activity. As a whole class we have learned to accept our faults and improve on them.
i'm a lot more comfortable with the students in the class than i was in the beginning of the year. i really like the trust activities that we do because it helps me trust the people i don't know very well. we're definitely working better as a team, too.
In the beginning of the year, I didn't know everyone's name and there were a ton a social gorups that wouldn't go anyway. Now I think that we are a lot more comfortable with each other and we are slowly gaining people's trust. Even though we still hang in the same "clique" groups, I think we are less afraid to talk to other people. As a class, I also think we have learned to accept each other and to judge people less. This quarter was okay but I really want to move along but I know I can't do that yet with my calssmates :)
I think a lot has changed already from the beginning of the year. We have definately gotten to know each other better and I am more comfortable around everyone in class. I think people have learned to work together and become more trusting of one another. I've played the role of working hard in class and trying to get to know people better. Also, the class exceeded my expectations in that it teaches life lessons while being fun at the same time.
ive been comfortable in class and we have stronger teambuilding skills from the beginning of the year. ive been trusting in class. trusting others and having others trust me.
i think that the class is getting a lot more comfortable with eachother and being open to eachother. I think a lot of the team building activities has helped us learn how to work together and come up with ideas together.
this quarter, i've gotten really confortable with most of the people. and i think the whole group got more trust in another and we try not to blame other people if they messed up or not. i really like that.
First quarter went by so fast! YAYYYYYY only 3 more :) i think we came a very long way as a class. We went from being strangers to a strong group of people who trust eachother. i think we definately have room for improvement though, we all need to be a little more open to new things and being out of our comfort zones.
we were all still kinda stuck in out comfort zones but were breaking out a little. i was nervous at first cause im very self concious about my body but i realized that it doesnt matter and everyone is totally supportive
I have been teaching since 1995. I started teaching at Winston Campus Junior High in Palatine. In 2001 I began teaching at Fremd. I am an assistant golf and wrestling coach. I have also coached boys gymnastics and I was a sponsor for Powder Puff Football and Outdoor Adventure Club. I am the 4th child of 5, 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother. I am married and I have two great boys 2 1/2 year old and a 5 week old. Chase and Brody. I love it when I come home and chase yells out "DADDY" and has a big smile on his face and is coming to hug me.
