Engaging Students Idea
I just wanted to share something that I saw during last Thursday’s Tiny Tiger class. If you recall, the class was doing a basic relay with the focus on the downward foot block and the kids hitting a paddle. The kids were also doing splats on the big shields.
The row that Sifu Brinker had seemed to be having the most fun and I attribute that to the way he was utilizing the paddle. Every time the kids did a splat on the shield, he hit the floor with his paddle making a loud slap. The kids loved it!
I would like to see us all (myself included) engage the students more as Sifu Brinker did. When we are more engaged with the drills, the kids get a lot more out of the lessons.
Thanks!
