End of the year in PE!

Greetings Chargers,

The start of the fourth quarter is an exciting time in PE! The students are building on their sports skills and fine motor skills. Our last lesson was soccer. The students learning how to kick, dribble and shoot the ball. They also learned about positions and what each position was responsible for. Going into the last quarter, each class will be playing badminton, kickball and other activities. The goal going into the summer is to keep their activity level up and teaching them as many skills and games possible so that their summer is filled with fun and activity. I hope everyone has a great rest of the year and Go Chargers!

Best regards,
Coach Gethings

Start of the new year!

Greetings Chargers!          It has been a great start to the new year! The students have been actively participating in non-traditional spacial awareness and locomotive games. The students have been learning about anatomy and classroom procedures. The next couple of weeks will include catching, trowing and hockey. We are going to be concentrating on positive interactions with others and showing good sportsmanship. I will be having Socratic discussions of different activities that they can do outside the classroom to stay healthy. We will also be discussing different food groups and food choices. Please see below for the PE curriculum that will be our base for the year. The activities and time of the year they take place are subject to change. I hope your child has been having a great year so far and Go Chargers! Best Regards, Coach Gethings   Skill/Unit Purpose Possible Activities Lesson ...

Start of the second quarter!

Greetings Chargers!       Its hard to believe its already the second quarter! The scholars have been learning about the fundamentals of football. We have been working on proper trowing form (holding laces of the football and stepping into the throw). This will help build their fine motor skills and build confidence. We have started to talk about how their heart works and what happens to it when you exercise. In the upcoming month we will be moving onto basketball. The scholars will be learning how to properly shoot the ball, dribble and practice other skills of the game. Going forward in the year, you can expect to start hearing about athletic field day which is an exciting day for all! I look forward to continuing to teach your young scholars and Go Chargers! Best regards, Coach Gethings
