Getting into the flow of things!

Oops! I am a little late with this post. Sorry! We have been doing some awesome things in PE. The 1st -5th graders have been working through our skills review unit. We finished throwing and catching the first week, and we moved into kicking last week.

In our kicking unit we covered the short distance kick, long distance kick, and the punt. We did run into a little rain last week, and couldn’t get outside, so we are spilling the kicking over into this week. The weather this week has been great! 2-5th have been out almost every day!

Kindergarten- we are now masters of the warm-up walls! These guys and girls do their warm ups better than some of the bigger kids…well, most of the time! This week we got to dive into our first skill based lessons! We have been working on throwing and catching. Man, these little ones are doing great! We spent a little bit of time working on how to treat PE equipment, and now when you watch, it’s as if they have been in PE for weeks and weeks. Oh, wait….they have been in PE for a few weeks huh? I still can’t believe it’s September!

Next week we will be moving on to a new skill- striking! Should be a good time. We will be getting out all sorts of striking implements- both long handle and short handle. The Kindergarten will work on throwing and catching a little longer (I have some fun games we get to play next week that really emphasize those skills).

Thanks for supporting PE!!
