Evaluation: | The activity was a success because children enjoyed doing the activity and children progressed more and more the further the activity.The children that needed help where happier when teacher or/and assistant was doing the activity with them side by side. |
Teacher Reflections: | I enjoyed doing this activity with the children it was fun and exciting to see them actually having fun while learning. The children enjoyed being able to move around and dance. Children like to have fun and seem to learn faster and better when there are activities that make learning experience worth learning. |
