Midline Cross Stretching

Reflection:

I am glad I chose a topic that I could use in my own classroom.  When I emailed my kindergarten teacher she told me about midline cross stretching, and I changed my project to mainly focus on this.  She told me how it helps develop left and right brain so I decided to look into it and found that it also helps develop a dominant and helping hand.  To me midline cross stretching is an important part of developing things as you get older.  When I become a parent I am going to make my own children do midline cross stretching as they age.

My main product was making short videos that teachers can play for their class, and their students can follow along.  I made them short because I know teachers don't have free time in their classroom because now school seems like it is all about teaching and learning all the time with no free time. With the short videos, teachers are easily able to play the videos with their morning routine and right after lunch. I didn't want to only have videos so I made a weebly to explain what midline cross stretching does and how it affects your body.  (http://midlinecrossstretching.weebly.com/)

When I was searching what to do for my product, and went to many website most of them talked about different stretching.  After reading several websites I came up with the idea to make a video to demonstrate some stretches.  I didn't choose many because teachers don't have free time to do many things that they want to do.  I was very interested in the topic I ended up doing, and I am glad we got to choose something that we wanted to do.

I was very pleased how the showcase went, and I must have presented pretty well because people didn't have too many questions to ask me.  I only had two people come up to me, but both people told me that I did good so I was very pleased!
