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:
