Hey guys,
So I just had my first day in the school and I actually had to teach the first day for PE because they have it every other day and I wouldn't have enough time to teach them if I started in the second week. So anyway, I was teaching badminton to 25 kids with 4 nets and it is so hard to get everyone involved in such a short space. but anyways, grade 8 has so much energy and they cannot do anything for very long until they go crazy but anyways, it went well. You really do realize how many kids have problems and its sad cause you just want to help them but there are so many other kids that its so hard to go to one person.
I hope all you guys are having a good time with your practicum!
Feel free to post what experience you have had.

I think I am going to run into the same thing Kim when I teach Tennis on monday. I am pretty sure the school I am teaching at only has 2 tennis nets and the class size is 25 kids as well. You definetly have to be on top of your space and equipment management. The good thing with teaching grade 8's and 9's though is that they usually don't have overly developed skills, so you can do alot of smalls games that don't require everyone to have a racket or their own net space. Hopper's castle game comes to mind in particular.
