So the weather has been a little cold for Georgia, but we have been truckin’ right along with our units in PE. This year we have already hit several different units: jump rope, gymnastics, dance, and volleyball.
The dance unit was great. For those who don’t know, we traded PE teachers with Keheley Elementary for a week. Yup, I was shipped off over there to teach their students some volleyball skills and Mrs. Lawson (one of our former PE teachers) got to come over here and teach our classes some dance! Mrs. Lawson really is a dancin’ fool!! The kids had a great time.
We are now finished with our first week of volleyball. The kids are really doing a great job. We’ve spent some time this week working on some basic skills, mainly the forearm pass (bump) and the overhead pass (set). They are really picking it up well. Next week we hope to get the students into some modified games so they can put their newly learned skills to good use!
Just to give you a heads up for future events: our fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is coming up just before our spring break! For those new to Davis- we participated in a state wide fundraiser to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). I was so proud of the support our students gave to the CFF. We were able to raise $6,000 in just one week! We won the state wide competition, and we got a visit from Atlatna Braves 3rd baseman Chipper Jones! This year…we are aiming higher!!! I’d love to be the back to back winner for the state….and get win the Chipper visit again!!! Just keep your eyes open in the coming month for information!
If any of you would like to volunteer to help out with the fundraising please shoot me an e-mail! bryan.jones@cobbk12.org
Thanks!!!
