Outdoor play is a great tool to engage a child and incorporate all seven areas of learning. Well thought out activities can excite, challenge and memorize children, teaching them new skills or experience new ideas all through play. For example, building a ball run is a simple activity in itself. However children often work as a team, sharing ideas and overcoming problems in the process. Number could be incorporated if the children are asked to build the ball run from a pre-drawn instruction

When I got there know one was there so I had more time to practice. A little bit later there was a really good player on the other team practicing to but I think that he was the pitcher so I think he was seeing how fast I swung the bat. When I looked over to see how fast ball was going It was going as fast as a hummingbird flapping its wings.

This could have been improved if there was an available room that I could of used to take the children participating in the activity into, were I could carry out the interaction without out distractions. Another way of improving this problem is I could have asked used my group interaction by involving the whole class as the group. This would have made all the children feel involved and no distraction would have been made as all the children would have been part of the group activity.

The researchers goal was to know if the effects of small-group reading interventions implemented positive behavior in support model, on elementary students that show any emotional and behavior disorders or that do not show any emotional and behavior disorders. The following are the research questions they addressed: (a) the differences in reading instruction in a general classroom for students at risk and to compare schools that combine behavior/reading risk. (b) differential effects with small-group instruction. (c) how do any of the observable differences translate to the outcome of students’ growth in reading.

Next, the barriers that exist in group communication are premature evaluation of ideas, poor physical surroundings, too many people, poor timing, and stinking thinking. The different ideas made from the group need an evaluation at a certain time; this is done only after all the ideas have been made from the group. Poor physical surroundings can be a problem for group disruption in communication. In some cases the room could be too hot, too cold, too noisy, not adequate enough seating and lack of technological needs for the group to function. If the group is too large then the communication can be lost and equal participation will not occur (Beebe &Masterson, 2006). Poor timing also can be a hindrance to the group by not

A description of the group purpose and setting, providing enough information to let the instructor understand the group set-up.

To help me with a greater understanding of how to run lacrosse clinic I was doing some research and I stumbled across Marilyn Fuss who is head recruitment officer for lacrosse SA and it’s her job to recruit players. Every day she goes out to schools all around South Australia teaching children all about lacrosse but also teaches them the basic skills need if you started to play lacrosse for a club. She gave me a clear outline of what drills she runs step by step but also let me join her for a few clinics so that I could have a first-hand experience with it and also she gave me the opportunity to add my own different drills or tweak her drills a little. One drill that I was wanting to really try was a small game because I think that a small game would give the children the most amount of fun but also they would learn the most because they would have to put all the skills they learnt earlier into play. I learnt that running a lacrosse clinic was harder to run than expected because its challenging to keep all the children’s attention for the time needed and that’s when I figured that a small game would keep all the children busy

“Guys come back. Form a circle.” The HPE teacher called out. Sam sighed with relief, he was about to throw the racquet at his partner. Once everyone was around the teacher began to talk.

•Basic FUNdamentals tactics, e.g. if fielding, net/wall, invasion games can be introduced. (In net/wall games, players achieve this by sending a ball towards a court or target area which their opponent is defending. The aim is to get the ball to land in the target area and make it difficult for the opponent to return it)

Carina: I observed a small group of four girls around the ages of 16-19 who were all getting burritos at Chipotle. They were still wearing their volleyball outfits and clearly belonged to a group of teenage athletes. They all seemed to be friends as they were laughing and talking loudly with one another. Their visit at Chipotle seemed to be some kind of social experience for them, much more so than just going there for nutrition. When ordering they asked each other: “what are you getting”, which showed that they valued each other’s food recommendation. The girl who asked her friend that question decided to order the same food as her friend. This shows the interdependence and great influence within the group.

A highly cohesive group that I have been a part of was a weight loss group that I participated in for a year. This group would have been considered a self-help/mutual aid group. This was a small voluntary group that met weekly to address the need of losing weight. Each group member would weigh in weekly, discuss their food intake and exercise for the week, and share techniques that had been successful in helping them lose weight. We also shared recipes with one another. The characteristics that made the group feel cohesive included the members were friendly to one another, supported one another, and encouraged one another to continue the weight loss journey. The group was willing to listen to one another and showed understanding of how difficult the task of losing weight can be. The individuals that were involved in this group appeared to always enjoy meeting

During this group session, the patients were asked to identify common relapse triggers and verbalize ways in which they can avoid their triggers. The patients were provided with a handout on triggers and educated on alternative methods to avoid their triggers.The patient was oriented x 3. The patient reported that feelings of depression and being bored has caused him in the past to relapse. He shared that he is ready to be clean and is aware of his triggers. He further shared that he goals are to engage in outside activities that can help occupy his timeThe patient was oriented x 3. He actively participated in the group discussion. The patient identified his triggers as his relationship with his family members. Throughout the session, the patient

The three mediated forms of technology our group used for this project were the google doc, a group chat, and the House Party app. The google doc was provided with the assignment. The group chat happened after we all exchanged numbers to help coordinate everything. The app was chosen in class, as we weren’t prepared to use zoom. The google doc and the group chat were effective. The google doc allowed the group to get all of our information together and organized. The group chat was used for more informal questions and communication. The app wasn’t effective. There were a few issues with connecting to everyone. But we were all able to contribute to the meetings.

I walked around the room to help them and keep them on task. One student was struggling on finding the asymptote of an equation. He had graphed the equation and knew it had a slant asymptote, but didn't know how to find it. I told the student he needed to use long division to figure it out. I decided to do an example on the board for all of the students since the others said they didn't remember how to do that. One student in the class who did remember how to find these helped his classmates, which I thought was very

Tell them that this is group competition and that you will give the instruction for groups to cue up in a specific way. Your group should get in a cue as quickly as possible. When your group is cued up suitably all group members should clap to indicate they have completed the task.
