Kickball, Tee Ball & Softball continued

Kindergartners and First graders will continue playing kickball lead-up games in PE this week. 2nd-4th grade students will begin working on tee ball and softball skills. Throwing, batting, fielding and using a baseball glove, are some of skills that will be practiced throughout the week. My older students will finished out the week playing softball games. We look forward to a great week ahead.

Kickball

Coach Every's PE classes will begin playing in our kickball / softball unit. Our K and 1st grade students will play various lead-up games focused on kicking, base running and rules of the game. Our 2nd - 4th graders will begin real kickball this week. Fielding, positioning, base-running and teamwork will be in constant focus throughout the week. As we head into next week our older students will begin working with with baseball gloves and hitting from a tee. We look forward to a great week ahead.

4-Square Time

I am so excited to begin our third trimester with my new classes. Coach Every’s 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students will learn and play the game of 4 – Square. We will learn all the skills and tactics involved within this great playground game. Anticipation, reaction, footwork and tracking are just some of the skills reinforced during a 4-Square game. Another integral component to the game is the adherence to all the rules and conflict resolution. Our students learn strategies that help them referee their own games democratically and fairly.

Our Kindergarten and First Grade students will learn the basics of 4-Square, serving and returning. They will also head back into the Mini-Gym to work on motor development skills. Throwing and tossing will be a constant focus throughout the week.

2/6/12 - 2/10/12

Coach Every's classes will spend the week reviewing previous games/sport units as the trimester comes to an end. We look forward to an exciting and fun week ahead.
