This Week's PE Agenda

The seventh grade’s last day of PE for the second quarter will be on Monday (November 8 for General Music) or Tuesday (November 9) for Band/Choir.  We will do our journaling again this quarter and the due dates will be Monday January 3 for the General Music and Tuesday January 4 for Band/Choir  The eighth grade will start their second quarter for PE on Thursday (November 11) for Band/Choir and Friday (November 12) for General Music.  We are opening up the gym between 7:00 and 7:30 on Tuesdays and offer different activities to the middle school kids with the help of Mr. Roseman and myself.  The students will have some options on choices of activities.  Mr. Roseman will also bring different guests in from time to time such as a rumba instructor.  We will have our third session this coming Tuesday (November 9) from 7:00-7:30 am in the gym.  Middle school students should wear PE clothes, regardless if they have PE on Tuesday or not, if they choose to come.

Third, fourth, and fifth grades will continue a basketball unit this week, focusing on dribbling the proper way, under control.  We will be working on both our strong hand and our weak hand, so we can become better at both.  Some of the classes are ready to start passing this week.

Mrs. Elliot’s class (2/3 split) will continue to work on a volleyball unit focusing on bumping the ball the proper way (not swinging arms and using our legs as our main power source).  We also hope to start setting this week as well.

Second grade (O’Neal) will continue to work on our kickball unit.  We will play kickball games and teaching points may be interjected during the games.  This will be our final week for kickball.  The main goals are to have each student understand what they should do with the ball if it comes to them while they are on defense (in the field)—depending on the situation and to watch the ball while they are on offense (kicking team)—especially while they are on the bases, to know and understand if they need to run or not.

First grade will start a throwing and catching unit focusing on hand-eye coordination.  We will work with overhand and underhand throwing.

Kindergarten will continue to work on throwing and catching overhand.  We will continue to throw with a partner this week.

Preschool will finish going sideways over the balance beam.

Have a Great Weekend and Go Colts!
