This week we are moving on to the last of our basic skills, kicking. As you can see on our blog, we have already covered: throwing, catching, and striking. The students are doing a great job with these skills. Mrs. Lawson and I have seen great progress throughout this skills review. We hope to see the same hard work through our kicking section of the unit as well.
We will be covering short distance kicks, long distance kicks, punts, and we’ll probably even break out the football tees! Our plan is to offer students (who are old enough) a chance to compete in the NFL’s Punt, Pass & Kick competition. This is a great way for the students to put their skills to good use. The PPK competition measures both distance and accuracy! For more information follow this link: NFL’s PPK Info!
Thanks again for all of your support!!

More Skills Review (week 6 overall)
So, last week we squeezed in a ton of striking! The students all seemed to really enjoy it. The weather cooperated, and we were able to get outside for a few days. Ms. Patsy even got up on the roof and threw down all the tennis balls that found their way up there, I swear there must have been 40 of them!
This week we are planning on putting those throwing, catching, and striking skills to work. We are going to play some large group games that focus on those skills. Once the week is over we will hop right back into our skills review…kicking will be next up!
Just in case you are wondering the kindergarten and first graders are still working on throwing and catching. We like to get the younger students a little more work on the basic skills. So, while the older grade levels are spending one week on a skill, the K and 1 students will have 2 weeks! If you have a K or 1 student ask them how many different objects they have been throwing in PE!
Here are some of the GPS’s we will be covering this week:
Manipulative Skills The learner will be able to demonstrate basic manipulative skills of throwing, catching, kicking, and striking.
Manipulative Skills The learner will be able to demonstrate progress toward mature throwing, catching, kicking, and striking skills.
Skill Performance The learner will be able to identify and apply concepts to improve performance in fundamental and selected skills.
Cooperation with Others The learner will be able to share space and equipment with others.
Behavior The learner will be able to identify appropriate behavior for participating with others in physical activity.
RESPECT The learner will be able to demonstrate understanding and respect for differences among people in physical activity settings.

Week 5 is Underway!!
Last week we were able to get some great throwing skills packed in. This week… it is time to move on to striking! We will be working on striking with various implements (bats, tennis racquets, hockey sticks, and paddles).
We started off yesterday with our stations. It went great. The best part of it is the weather! It is actually cooling down enough for us to get outside! We are still keeping an eye on the heat index, but yesterday went very smooth. The rotations we are using get the students out for about a 10 minute period. Then they are right back in the air-conditioning working in the gym!
A few of the GPS’s that we will be covering this week are:
Skill Transition: The learner will be able to recognize similarities and differences between movement skills and transfers appropriately from one to the other.
Manipulatives: The learner will be able to demonstrate progression of skill development using manipulatives.
Relationships: The learner will be able to demonstrate the body's relationships to other objects, individuals, and groups when meeting/parting, mirroring/matching, leading/following, or moving over, under, behind, and alongside.
Personal and Social Responsibility: The learner will be able to demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior in physical activity settings. Learner participates in establishing rules, procedures, and etiquette that are safe and effective for specific activities.
Cooperation: The learner will be able to demonstrate the ability to work successfully alone, with a partner, and with a small group.

Week 4 Begins!
I hope everyone had a great long weekend! This week we are starting our first official unit. We are starting with our basic skills review! Our skills review is made up of 3 components:
-Throwing and catching
-Striking
-Kicking
We will be looking at each of these topics in depth over the next few weeks. Each week will be focused on a skill. For example, this week we have started reviewing throwing and catching. Ask your child if they can remember the key points for both the over hand and under hand throw? Now see if they can remember the keys to catching!
Here are just a few of the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS’s) we will be covering this week:
Manipulative skills- The learner will be able to demonstrate progress toward mature throwing, catching, kicking, and striking skills.
Behavior- The learner will be able to identify appropriate behavior for participating with others in physical activity.
Weight Transfer- The learner will be able to apply concepts of weight transfer in a variety of ways.
Cooperation- The learner will be able to demonstrate the ability to work successfully alone, with a partner, and with a small group.
