          The weather is finally starting to look like spring.  Just a quick safety reminder that all students must wear sneakers on their P.E. day.  No sandals or shoes that can easily fall off.     During the last 9 weeks students did not work on dribbling the ball with their hands as we intended.  Instead we worked on throwing and catching in a pattern while trying to juggle.   All students will work on dribbling with their hands during the final 9 weeks when we can go outside and utilize the baskets on the playground.

 

Pre-K news

            We will start the nine weeks out with dribbling the ball with our hands and learning how to dribble in our own space with either hand.  Then we will try and move with the ball while dribbling.  Next, we will start to use the skills that we have learned this year to play low organized games.  Students will develop an understanding of rules, fair play and being a good winner and a good loser.

         

 

Kindergarten, 1^st and 2^nd grade news

We start the nine weeks by working on dribbling the ball with our hands, and passing the ball to a partner.  We will then work on volleying.  We will work on the bump and underhand serve.  In May we will start to review to get ready for Field Day.  To end the year we will play low organized games using the skills that we have learned all year.

          We will start the nine weeks by working on dribbling the ball with our hands, passing, shooting and defense.  Volleying comes next.  Students will learn how to bump, set, spike, and underhand serve.  In May we’ll review games for Field Day.  After Field Day we will work on our fitness.  We will develop an understanding of different fitness components and participate in a circuit.  At the end of the year we will participate in low organized games that include skills that we have been working on all year.

 

4^th and 5^th grade Bike safety

          The second week of May the 4^th and 5^th graders will be tested on their bike safety knowledge and their biking skills.  Representatives from Washington Area Bicycle Association are coming with a trailer full of bikes and helmets.  Each student will ride a bike through a bike rodeo where they will display their biking skills and learn how to be safe on the road.
