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.
