Our students are celebrating the upcoming winter break by participating in a variety of winter themed PE activities. A crowd favorite is our new 'Do you want to build a Snowperson?' game. In this game, students run across the gym in relay style to turn their classmate into a snow person. Each student brings with them one piece of equipment and helps their snowperson transform. Take a look at this proud snowperson below!
All geckos grades K-5 have been working on basketball skills during the month of December. Students are being assessed on the hand dribble, the pass, and 5th grade students are assessed on their shooting form. Grades 2, 3, 4 are also being assessed on identifying crucial bones in the skeletal system. In October we began learning about the ribs, spine, skull, femur, tibia, fibula, ulna, radius, sternum, vertebra, phalanges and patella. Ask your student to sing you the bones song!
As always, your PE teachers work hard to integrate other academic areas into PE learning. For example, students have been working on passing by solving a math problem and passing the number of times as the solution. In another example, K-2 students perform one dribble for each letter of a sight word as they spell and recite commonly used words. Tomorrow, Wednesday the 7th, we are happy to be apart of our Intervention/Reading and Specials Night. Visit the gym to participate in cup stacking activities!
