I can't believe it is already the middle of September! The days have been flying by so far. Elementary PE students have spent the past five weeks working on team building and Habit 6, synergize, by playing games and doing various activities with the parachute. Now, the parachute is packed up, and we are moving on to more skill based activities.
Kindergarten through 3rd grade are working on motor skills for the next few weeks. They will be improving their skipping and galloping, while also learning differences between walking, jogging and running. They are learning how to find their pulse, and how different exercises affect their heart rates. After we finish working on motor skills, we will be moving on to throwing and catching.
The 4th and 5th graders are working on throwing and catching. We are using scarves now to build up hand eye coordination as well as improve reaction times using different challenges with the scarves. They will learn the juggling pattern, and then we will work on the overhand throw with beanbags.
That is what I coming up in PE for the next few weeks! I hope the weather cools off soon!
