9/9/10 Reflection on first class

The thought of a three hour class that lasted until 7:00 pm at first sounded like a bit of challenge, but from the activities of our first class and the types of projects and group activities that we will be doing throughout the semester I can honestly say that I am looking forward to this class. I think that the ice breakers were a great idea because the first day of any class can be overwhelming especially when you do not recognize many faces.  Doing all of the group activities definitely makes the time go by faster but most important of all it allows us to practice coming up with creative recreational and therapeutic activities which will be the future jobs for many of us.  I especially enjoyed the last activity where we had to make an activity of two random items. It's a good example of how sometimes you have to improvise and just work with what you have..which in some cases might not be a lot.
