It's Fall Ya'll!!

This year has been flying by! It seems like just a couple weeks ago we were starting a new school year. Quick update on the goings on in PE right now:


K-2nd: We have been working on kicking skills (soccer). Went over basic ball handling, dribbling, shooting, and really wanted to get outside...however the weather didn't cooperate. We are finishing up soccer now and will be moving on to a new unit after the Thanksgiving break!


3rd- 5th: Flag Football! The students have loved playing flag football...when it's not raining! So as you can guess we are way behind on this unit! We will be finishing soon. For flag football we use the Sport Education Model. This model allows the students to run the class. They will be both players and referees. They must demonstrate their knowledge of the rules by making correct calls and keeping the games running smoothly.
The students are also rated by a 'fair play report.' This report allows the students from opposing teams to rate how well your team performs at non skill related part of the game: sportsmanship, knowledge of rules, respect for opponents...etc. It's a great way for the students to reflect on the activity as a whole!


Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving break!!
