PE Agenda For The Week We Get Back From Break

The 6/7-General Music split class will turn in their journals for physical activities on Monday January 3 and the 7 Band/Choir class will turn in their journals Tuesday January 4.  A reminder: the project is worth 50 points.  We will be starting both a volleyball unit and a basketball unit and work on them simultaneously in the third quarter.  We are opening up the gym between 7:00 and 7:30 on Tuesdays and offer different activities to the middle school kids (grades 6-8) 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 ninth session on Tuesday (January 4) from 7:00-7:30 am in the gym.

Grades 4 and 5 (Eastman, McMahon, Welty) will work on team building activities and exercises.  The focus will be on cooperating with each other and building leadership skills.

Third grade (Norman) will do some full body exercising on the scooters.  We will also play a team-building game.

The following classes will start a basketball unit, focusing on dribbling (hand-eye coordination) with both strong hand and weak hand:

2/3-Elliot

2-O’Neal

1-Ahonen

K-Hill

K-Catton

These grade levels will also play a movement game as well during class time.

Pre-school will continue to work on throwing and catching beanbags underhand and learning a new tag game.

This Week's Agenda

The sixth grade will continue our Health unit with Mr. Roseman.  We will be food taste testing this week (Monday for General Music and Tuesday for Band/Choir) with the focus on healthier eating choices.  A quick note: General Music will have their Friday class switched to Wednesday to accommodate for Mass on Friday.  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 eighth session this coming Tuesday (December 14) from 7:00-7:30 am in the gym.  The middle school will have some journaling over break, but it has been abbreviated.

Due to the Christmas Concert (Tuesday afternoon), Christmas Program (Wednesday and program practices both Monday and Tuesday), a fun surprise for the students on Thursday afternoon, and a noon dismissal on Friday, we will have a brief schedule this week for PE.
