This post is a bit late but I AM FINALLY GOING TO WRITE IT. So we played a game called Dragontails that John, our student teacher thats learning/teaching with us for school, introduced to us, and we love it. It's super fun and it really brings us together.
Also we totally have to play this game with the other PE/Band class. We have to.
This game is really fun because you have to strategize defensive and offensive moves and see what works and doesn't.
We were trying to get used to the game in the first round. It went well though. We were all yelling at each other about our strategies, I don't know if thats a good thing or abad thing since those strategies worked quite well most of the time. One "strategy" that we made up on the spot was to run, and yell and scream with our hands behind our backs? It's super simple but it works almost every time. We are much better on offence than on defence.
Then the second round came, where we were against the grade 10's of our class. Things got a little more intense since we know these guys and how they might play. We still won though, haha. It was a very close game and we just barely made it. It was a great victory because we all had fun playing this game, and we should really play it again.
And we really really really really need to totally play this game against the other class. But the 9th and 10th graders are still split like last time. But we could try day 1 class against day 2 class altogether. That will be interesting.
This post is a bit late, but I'm going to talk about our buddies! I think we had a great time with our buddies. They were enthusiastic and they contributed very well to a game we all enjoyed.
My buddy is pretty quiet and shy towards me but I think that might change as we have more visits with them. She said that she enjoys playing softball, and she likes playing with her cat. I had a great time playing Dragontails with my buddy, and I think she did too. I liked how everyone was having fun, and the buddies were having fun too. I think this buddy thing is great for our buddies, I think it's supposed to make our buddies not be so scared of older kids. Something I really liked was when many of the buddies were trying to contribute to our game strategies. It was good letting them contribute because it gave them a sense of welcoming. I'm not sure on what else to say about our buddies but they were really great and I think the class we are with is quite similar to our class when we work together.
