Team evaluation
1) Discuss the affective team skills you brought to this assignment.
An effective team skill can distribute a task effectively and use time wisely.
Meanwhile, it is very important to work collaborate. In this assignment, I have Shirley
and Yuanqing as my group member. We separate this assignment into three parts. Shirley
is going the implementation and Yuanqing is going to do the draw of the animals. Last
but not least, I am going to do the Health Resource Pamphlet. My role in this part is
going to find out the benefit of this physical activity and the purpose of why this activity
is good for preschooler. So, in the pamphlet work sheet, I list all the domains that related
to the activity and also the reason of why this activity is good for preschooler. Meanwhile,
I also attach pictures of the animals.
2) In your opinion, how do you believe your team functioned?
In my opinion, I believe my team function is the team work. First, we look
through this assignment and discuss how we are going to present and what kinds of
materials should we have. Next, we break this assignment into three parts, one is doing
the implementation and the other is going to draw the animals. So my job is going to
finish the pamphlet. While we are doing this assignment, we also share our ideas to each
other. If one disagree the idea, we find out the ideas that everyone agree with. So the
communication method we use is to call each other and we discuss at school. Finally,

2. when we finish each other’s part, we send to each member’s email, let everyone edit and
resend to each other’s email. Then, we finish our showcase assignment.
3) What one area do you believe your team could have improved in? How will
you support the improvement of this area in future group assignments?
In our group, I think we need to improve our communication style. Not only to chat
each other by phone, but also spend time to meet each other. Although, we have some
discussion at school. More discussion would come out more ideas. Meanwhile, I think it
is going to near to the exam week; everyone is busying to do their works. That is why we
choose to chat online and talk on phone. Therefore, when we are going to do the future
group assignments, we will use our time wisely and spend much time to do our works
together.

3. Individual reflection
It is very important to protect children’s health and safety. So when we are doing
this activity. First thing we need to do is to check the class is there any hazard things that
may hurt children’s safety. So it is very important to check the classroom safety and
provide enough space for children to move and make a circle. Any blocking area and
hazard things need to remove. Meanwhile, make sure that the floor is coved by the carpet
or the mat. It helps to protect children get hurt or slip.
Not only we need to pay much attention on safety, but also on health. Through
our activity, it also helps children’s health because when children are pretending some of
the animals, it develops children’s physical domains and throughout exercise, it develops
health. Here is what we do, we say to the children that we are going to play an activity, it
is called, “imitate and guess.” Then, we imitate some animals’ sounds and later tell them
some characteristics of these animals. Next, let children guess what kinds of animals we
are talking about through our description. After children guess what the animal is and ask
them to pretend that animals. For example, when we ask the animal is a rabbit, we all
jump. Therefore, it develops all our physical domains because we are doing exercise. Do
more exercises can help children stay healthy.
Next time, when we are doing this activity, we will consider it is supervision well
so that it protects the health of the children. Then, it is very important to make sure that
the activity is age appropriate.
