With this being my final inquiry post, I want to reflect on the experience and apply my learning to teaching. This fitness journey has been a winding road, not perfect, and that’s okay. I got to explore my own routine and encourage myself to get active and healthy.

Throughout my blog, I focused on exploring fitness, ways to track and stay consistent, and applying my learning to the educational setting. I realized that learning does not have to look a specific way to be meaningful. The experience itself is learning; reflecting on it and applying what I learned to future experiences is the most important part. It was great to have a continuous blog that I can look back on and remember my experiences. It was challenging to create 7 different posts on this specific inquiry topic, so in the future, I would like to create a better guide or rough draft of the post topics to stay on track.

To apply my learning to teaching. I think my inquiry was great: I tried things, and if they didn’t work, I didn’t give up but tried them differently. I think this is a really important skill in teaching: not every lesson is going to work out perfectly, and there will almost always be things I can improve on or adjust for the next lesson. I think thats the whole point: reflecting and improving, because we are all lifelong learners, and keeping this in mind will help me when beginning to teach.

I hope that in my practicum, I can teach a unit on PHE, specifically the active and healthy living strand, to begin introducing students to enjoying physical activity and finding activities they are passionate about. In my practicum, I am in a grade 2 class, so the big idea in PHE, “adopting healthy personal practices and safety strategies protects ourselves and others,” should be heavily connected to what I want to teach and engage them with.
