Lab One Reflection
Lab one was our first experience at St. Mary’s and it was an exciting one as well. The students were showing off skills as soon as we walked into the gym, skills such as; double jump jump rope, one handed cartwheels, soccer skills, throwing and catching, ect. The children were very energetic and active, which was great because we were always playing a game with them and having fun with it while trying to get them to practice motor skills too.
