What have we been doing in October?

3rd – 5th : Fitness is finally over. We had a couple weeks of testing…with a few games mixed in of course, but we got it done. We have fitness scores for every 3rd-5th grader recorded and ready to go. We plan on re-administering the test late in the school year to see how much improvement your students have made.

K- 2nd : Fitness was a little different. We introduced how to the tests, but we just practiced each test once or twice…just to familiarize the students with them. They did a pretty good job! The rest of the time we got to have a little fun. We worked on some locomotor skills and even squeezed in a few large group games just for fun!

We are now on to striking for grades 2- 5. We started this week with some fun tennis relays and games. We will be trying to use striking in as many different games/activities as we can over the next couple weeks.

As for the little ones (K & 1), we are going to work on locomotor skills for a little while longer, but we are also taking a day or two at a time to get some good skills work in on throwing and catching.

Thanks for checking in on the PE blog!
