  1. 1. What is something that was difficult for you during the soccer unit? What is something that went well for you during the soccer unit?
    During the soccer unit it was difficult for me to pass the ball accurately to my teammates during scrimmages. Even though I was not accurate with my passes I was good at playing defense and staying in front of the person I was guarding.

    2. Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the soccer unit.
    During the dribbling drill I always cheered on the whole class not just the people on my team because I wanted everyone to do well.

    3. The semester is coming to an end in a few weeks. Please give one or two things you can do to keep being successful in gym class or one or two things you need to work on going forward to make sure you are successful in gym class.
    During the first semester I have gotten better at focusing on Adon Brugman when he is giving directions or trying to teach us something about the sport we are doing. I will continue to stay focused because it has helped me better understand what is going on in class and made gym more fun for me.

    • 1. One thing that was difficult during most of the unit was trying to go more to the offense position, at the end of the unit I did go into offense more. One thing that went well was when I played defense/goalie.
      2. During our games when someone on my team scored a goal I would cheer them on and then give them a high five.
      3. One thing that would help me be more successful is if I were to do something good my teammates would be supportive about it. Another thing would be if I do something wrong my teammates could tell me what to do next time.

      • I think all of the things were true that you wrote. You did a really good job at being goalie. I think you could work on is passing the ball to people a little bit more.

      • I also agree that if your teammates would tell you want to do better in a nice way that way you can do better. I hope people will do this to me too.

      • I agree but I think anyone whether they are on your team or not they could explain to you what to do or what not to do during the games. That is good that you cheer on your teammates during your games during gym.

    • 1. I think having better sportsmanship is something to work on because I sometimes struggle with being a good sport. I also think that I did good at scoring and passing better because my team was open. My team was also really good so it was easier to pass to them.

      2. One time I demonstrated good sportanship was whenever my teammates scored I high fived them.

      3. To keep being succesful I should try to always have good sportsmanship because that helps a lot. I could keep having Growth mindset and never give up if my team is losing.

    • What is something that was difficult for you during the soccer unit? What is something that went well for you during the soccer unit? One thing that was difficult for me in the soccer unit was passing the ball to other people because I didn’t really have good aim when I passed the ball to my teammates. One thing that went well for me was not being a ball hog because I know from other people that when you are a ball hog you never get passed to by your other teammates because you are always a ball hog.
      Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the soccer unit. One time when I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when I accidentally knocked someone to the ground and instead of running to get the ball, a helped them up instead of scoring a goal.
      The semester is coming to an end in a few weeks. Please give one or two things you can do to keep being successful in gym class or one or two things you need to work on going forward to make sure you are successful in gym class. One thing that I can do to make sure that I am successful in gym class is to always have fun so I make other people also have fun. Another thing that I can do to make sure I stay successful in gym class is to have a growth mindset. That will help me and others by lifting them up and me.

    • 1. What is something that was difficult for you during the soccer unit? What is something that went well for you during the soccer unit?

      I kinda think I mostly sucked at this unit because I didn’t feel like I was accomplishing anything. I couldn’t kick right, I never scored anything and I mostly just stood around.

      2. Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the soccer unit.

      I think I demonstrated good sportsmanship when I would always volunteer to sit out when no one wanted to.

      3. The semester is coming to an end in a few weeks. Please give one or two things you can do to keep being successful in gym class or one or two things you need to work on going forward to make sure you are successful in gym class.

      My goal for the next semester is to work on getting better at something. I don’t care what, I just wanna be good at least one thing.

  2. 1.) Something that was difficult for me was my dribbling. I plan to work on my dribbling so next year I can be more of a complete player. Something that I was good at in soccer was when I was coming down the court I could find somebody open for a goal.
    2.) 1 time I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when my teammates were hurt, I always made sure to help them up again.
    3.) This semester I was successful when we were scrimmaging because I tried my hardest and I used all my skills. Also when A teammate was down I always picked them up. One thing I would like to work on next semester is putting all my effort in during warm-ups meaning I do everything to my best.

  3. 1: Something that was difficult for me was that some people wouldn’t pass the ball to me and if they did i would get it and they would ask for it back. Something that went very well was i was a pretty good goalie i almost every time blocked the ball.

    2: When my other team won I said good job. Another time is when I made sure nobody fought when someone shot a goal and the other team thought it didn’t count.

    3: I think that I will keep being sucsessfull is warm ups (witch I like sometimes) and when new units come up then I will probably not care because all the units are fun :3

  4. During the soccer unit, I struggled with passing because I don’t really know how to play soccer. I think I got better at sportsmanship even when we lost by a lot.

    I demonstrated good sportsmanship by saying good game after every game and complemented people during the game.

    I am successful in gym class because I have a positive attitude for the warm-up and that carries over for most of the class until I slam my foot into a ball bin then twist my ankle. I will continue to do this because it rubs off on others and then we have a good class.

  5. 1. Something that was difficult was my my passing skills, because I don’t like kicking with the inside of my foot. Something that went well was I scored a LOT because, I am very good at kicking with the front of my foot.
    2. By complementing my teammates and opponents.
    3. I can practice outside of school and when I have free time.

  6. 1. At the beginning of the unit, I was so happy when I got a goal and celebrated. Now I don’t celebrate and just say “Good Job, let’s get another goal.” I still am struggling a little bit with sportsmanship but that is one of my goals.

    2. I believe that I demonstrated good sportsmanship when we lost but I still said “Nice Game, Next game we got it.” Or when we were winning and we didn’t celebrate any of our goals and just kept going with the game.

    3. Next semester I can be more empathetic with my team and try my hardest and best to make sure we are all having a good time. Even when we lose I will still be happy for the other team and how we all played.

  7. 1. What is something that was difficult for you during the soccer unit? What is something that went well for you during the soccer unit?
    I didn’t do the defense very well and to stay in front of the student that was with the ball. I did a good passing dunner the game.

    2. Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the soccer unit.
    when someone did a goal or miss, I gave him a high five, but we didn’t screamed and make fun of the other team.

    3. The semester is coming to an end in a few weeks. Please give one or two things you can do to keep being successful in gym class or one or two things you need to work on going forward to make sure you are successful in gym class.
    I want to keep my listen, because it really help me to understand what we are doing. I want to focus because I didn’t focused.

  8. 1. In the soccer unit I think I did well at passing to my teammates and kicking the ball. What I did bad in the soccer unit is that I did not try to kick the ball into the goal, and I was not good at being goalie because I was sometimes scared the ball would hit my face.

    2. I had good sportsmanship when we were scrimmaging we lost and I was fine with it and said good game to the other team.

    3. I need to work on listening to Adon Brugman and trying to be a little nicer to my friends.

  9. 1. Something that was difficult for me was passing, because I wanted to score every time. Something that went well for me is working with my teammates.
    2. One time when my team won a game by a lot I said good job in the game.
    3. One thing I am successful on is paying attention to Adon Brugman. I need to work on better coordination.

  10. 1 something that was difficult for me was trying to not get mad when someone did something wrong. Something I did well in was making sure everyone got the ball and at least tried to score. 2 A time when I demonstrated good sportsmanship was when I passed to everyone and they had a chance to score. 3. 2 things I want to work on moving forward is not getting very mad from calls the ref makes and to be nice to people because that is the right thing to do.

  11. 2 things that was difficult for me was to make a goal because a lot of times people wouldn’t pass the ball to me. The other thing that was difficult for me was to kick the ball with both feet. Something that went well was that when we were doing dribbling I think I got better and better at doing it each time. 2 2 ways I demonstrated good sportsmanship was by telling someone they did a good job when they scored a goal. The other time I gave good sportsmanship was by cheering someone on. 2 things I can do to be successful in gym are not being bad when we are losing and to try my hardest.

    • Honestly, I think that you don’t need to pass the ball you have to go for it and try to get the ball. You also did really well in the drills

  12. What is something that was difficult for you during the soccer unit? What is something that went well for you during the soccer unit?
    Something difficult was for the soccer unit was that at the beginning, I did not understand soccer and I was (and still am) not too good at it. Another difficult thing that just kind of happened, was that SO MANY people got hurt every class. By the end of most of our classes, each team had two players instead of four. I don’t know if this has to do with the sport or people just tripping or what but EVERY CLASS, at least one person got hurt.
    Something that went well for me during the soccer unit was that I learned about soccer and got more comfortable playing. I also learned to understand it more as I played.
    Give an example of one time where you believe you demonstrated good sportsmanship during the soccer unit.
    I showed good sportsmanship by passing to my teammates and not keeping the ball for myself.

  13. 1.It was hard for me to do all the warm-ups and drills every day. I liked the game at the end, and when the warm-up is sharks and mammals.
    2. One time after the scrimmage I said ‘good game’ and ‘good job’ to the other group.
    3. I need to listen more to what the drills are, how much time and what. I’ll keep try my best and try the drills.

  14. #1 Something that was difficult for me during the soccer unit was that I sometimes during my game, I could pass to only one player because the other player was not open or not trying. Another thing was that I did not try other positions like goalie.
    #2 One way I showed good sportsmanship was when I was on the side line and on the court, when one person on my team scored, I gave them a hi-five and told them ” good job”.
    #3 One way I can be successful gym class in the future is maybe try my hardest and cheer my team on in games. For example, when my team scores or makes a basket I will be happy for whoever made that point.

  22. One of my biggest struggles during this soccer unit was just being a goaly in general. I don’t believe I am very good at making sure the ball doesn’t go into the ball so I mainly stayed away from being a goaly. One thing that went well was me making my goal shots. I made quite a few shots on goal and most of them went into the goal!

    I believed I demonstrated good sportsmanship by letting other people kick the ball in because most of the time I tried to kick it in a lot but other people wanted to kick the ball in as well.

    • I relate to your first answer because I would also do the same thing but whenever someone made a shot i would also say good job.

  28. Something difficult for me during our soccer unit was passing the ball in and passing to my teammates. Most of the time I would kick with the wrong part of my foot so it would go in the wrong direction and be intercepted. Something I did well at was getting into position quickly. I would always make sure I was in a good position to either defend or offense instead of just standing there.
    I demonstrated good sportsmanship when I told a teammate “NIce try!” when she missed her goal and felt bad.
    I will keep making sure no one is talking to me during instructions so I don’t miss instructions and am not tempted to relpy. I will also keep having good sportsmanship so I don’t make others feel bad.
