Today, in Mrs. Anderson's 8th grade physical education classes, I was able to observe two separate classes that both played volley-tennis. After the first class completed their game, the instructor asked the students if they enjoyed the game and would want to play it again. Some students eagerly said, "Yes!" while others were hesitant to say they enjoyed the activity. After the class left, Mrs. Anderson came up to me and said, "You just have to remember that you'll never make everyone happy". I felt that this sentiment could really be applied to the primary classroom. No matter how fun an activity is or how engaging a lesson is, not everyone will enjoy it. It is important to keep this in mind so that as a future classroom teacher, I can incorporate a variety of activities. This way, everyone will have the chance to really enjoy an activity.
