Ready, Set, Hike!

Hello Chargers!

This week we kicked off our football unit in Kindergarten and First Grade! In this unit, students will learn how to properly protect the ball, the difference between offense and defense, as well as how to kick the football.  Your child will also learn the rules of the game.  

On another note, our second healthy snack day will be on Thursday, February 18.  This time students and staff are invited to bring veggies to enjoy during their designated class snack time.

Welcome Back!

Greetings Chargers,

Welcome back!  We are kicking off a new unit this week, Soccer!  Growing up soccer was one of my favorite sports, and I still enjoy playing a pick up game every now and then.  I hope to pass on my enthusiasm for soccer (and all sports, of course) to your child.  In this unit, your child will learn the basic skills and positions as well as get to play one of my favorite games, Crab Soccer!

Bowling

Greetings Chargers!

Wow!  It's hard to believe the semester is coming to a close already!  K-1 P.E. is wrapping up the year with the skill of rolling.  So far students have worked on the proper form with the cue: step, tick-tock goes the clock.  Students have also focused on their accuracy through a game of hula hoop rolling.  Next week, students will be introduced to bowling where they will demonstrate the skills they have worked diligently on this week and learn about the sport of bowling.  

On another note, please make sure your child is wearing tennis shoes or shoes with straps on P.E. days.

P.E. Schedule:

Kindergarten: Monday & Thursday

First Grade: Monday & Tuesday 

Wednesday is a rotating schedule

K-1 P.E. Happenings

Greetings Chargers!

We just wrapped up our Tossing, Throwing, and Catching Unit.  Students participated in a variety of games that allowed them to demonstrate the skills learned.  A snowstorm game to Archway Arete, where students threw "snowballs" to the opposing team’s side.  The goal was to have the least amount of "snowballs" at the end of the game.  The challenge increased when the game was won by having caught the most "snowballs."  The unit culminated with Dodgeball!  In this activity, students worked together to knock over three cones on the opposing team’s side, all while attempting to dodge the ball.

This week we are working on teamwork through cooperative games with the parachute.  Students used their imagination to become a kitty, mouse, shark, lifeguard, and swimmer.  Ask your child for more details!
