Fitness is Fun Week

Kindergarteners through fourth graders will participate in various fitness games or activities this week in PE. 2nd-4th grades will practice components of the President's Fitness Challenge as a mid-year gauge of their progress. Don't forget that after school clubs begin this week as well. We look forward to a productive week in Coach Every's class.

4-Square Time

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. JK and Alpha will continue working on locomotor, tag and teamwork games this week.

12/3-12/7/12

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 baseball gloves and hitting from a tee.
