LAX - Not The Airport

We will begin our Lacrosse also know as (LAX) unit this week. K-4th Grade students will gain experience using the Lacrosse stick, cradling, scooping and passing. 2nd - 4th grade students will also play non-contact games focused on teamwork and strategy. Did you know that the game of Lacrosse was originally played by Native Americans? We look forward to a fun week ahead.

Coach Every's PE classes will continue working and playing in our kickball / softball unit. Our K and 1st students will continue to play various lead-up games focused on kicking, base running and rules of the game. Our 2nd - 4th graders will begin working on batting and catching skills with gloves this week and transition to softball as the week ends. We look forward to a great week in PE.

Sunshine

Finally we have good weather on tap for the week. The dry ground, clear skies and sunshine are a welcomed site. We will finally be able to have a normal week in PE. The Third Grade mile run will be this Tuesday. Third grade students will complete the remaining components of the Presidential Fitness Challenge this week. Our first sport unit will be our kickball / softball unit. All grades will take part in this unit. Lead-up games focused on kicking and base running will be taught to our younger students and our more experienced students will play games focused on strategy and teamwork. The PE staff is so excited to see the sun, even if it is 93 degrees outside.

A Wet Start

I hope you all had a nice Labor Day Weekend. Tuesday proved to be a very wet start to the week. The Third Grade mile run will be postponed until next Tuesday, so lets hope the weather is kind to us that day. Third and fourth grade students will complete the remaining components of the Presidential Fitness Challenge this week. Our first sport unit on tap will be our kickball / softball unit. All grades will take part in this unit. Lead-up games focused on kicking and base running will be taught to our younger students and our more experienced students will play games focused on strategy and teamwork.
