October 2, 2014 Physical Education

GRADES 3-6

      I would like to address a little clarification on the dress code, you CAN wear shorts/athletic pants with logos on them.  We now understand how hard it is to find Physical Education attire without them.  As far as units go we are currently in the ultimate series of games such as ultimate handball, football, and Frisbee.  The ultimate series of games pass over transferable skills such as throwing, defense set up, and offensive strategy.  We will be working specifically on man to man defense and the give and go technique within the next few weeks.  Skills such as spacial awareness, teamwork, communication, and good sportsmanship will be taught and reviewed over the next few weeks.

GRADES K-2

      I would like to address a little clarification on the dress code, you CAN wear shorts/athletic pants with logos on them.  We now understand how hard it is to find Physical Education attire without them.  The next few weeks we will be working with the parachute developing cooperation, communication, and listening skills further.  We will also be working on locomotor movements such as running, jumping, skipping, leaping, and galloping.  The students will also learn spacial awareness and pathways such as zig-zags, over/under, around, ect.  We will also be trying out different types of exercises such as six inches and body folds for core strength, and mountain climbers/wall sits for lower body muscle development.
