Reflection:
In this lab I learned how to observe younger students movement patterns. Some of these movement patterns were not yet fully developed. I gave them helpful feedback to try to help them understand the movement patterns more than they had before. This lab helped me to understand more how the movement patterns take time to develop in some students more than others. Overall, this lab helped me to understand that children require different amounts of time to develop a successful movement pattern.
