Welcome back!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. I know I enjoyed my time off with my friends and family. I am including a short video of one of our old favorite Thanksgiving games, "Stuff the Turkey," taken the Thursday prior to vacation, it was a blast. This week our kindergarten and first grade students will jump back into physical education by participating in various perceptual-motor lesson in our Mini-Gym. We will be working on tasks such as balance beams, rebound nets, launching boards, hop-scotch, tossing and catching. Our second through fourth grade students will begin their two-week basketball unit. Fundamentals will be introduced and practiced before small sided games commence.

Week of 11/15 - 11/19

Thanksgiving Vacation is rapidly approaching us. We wish everyone a very safe holiday with your friends and family. Make sure you take advantage of the wonderful weather we have been having hear in Florida and stay active. Coach Every's classes will complete our kickball unit this week and play group holiday games. Our students have been working hard in class and employing good kickball / baseball strategy in our games. We look forward to another great week in PE and wish everyone well for next week's vacation.

2nd Trimester of PE

Wow! I can’t believe that the second trimester is already here. Each trimester our students have been and will be taught primarily by one of our three PE coaches. This trimester I will have the pleasure of teaching the students of Mrs. Vigue, Mrs. Whitecage, Mrs. McKenzie, Mrs. Mitchell, Ms. Lemon’s and Ms. Telemachos’ boys only. As with the previous trimester, at least one day a week will be reserved for a large group game or rotation of games. During these days all students will receive instruction from all three PE coaches. My classes will begin the second trimester with our kickball unit. Our younger students will play modified games that emphasize kicking and base running skills. 2^nd -4^th grade students will play actual games of kickball/tee-ball/softball with a major focus on the rules and strategy of the game. We look forward to an equally exciting trimester in physical education.

What a wonderful Trimester!

Coach Every’s classes will be revisiting games from previous units. We will play some old favorites and enjoy our time together as the trimester comes to an end. The games we plan to play will be bucket ball, beanbag kickball and sharks and minnows. Second, Third, and Fourth graders will revisit games of 4-Square, basketball and softball. We had a wonderful trimester in physical education, while having so much fun along the way. We look forward to an equally exciting trimester next term.
