Learning Burnball!
This week all grade levels will be introduced to Burnball - a Swedish version of baseball. Many of the rules of the game are very similar to American baseball but there is one VERY important difference, there are NO outs! Burnball enables students to not only improve their hand-eye coordination and running skills, but critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well. We'll even throw in a little math! Its great fun - as your child to compare and contrast Burnball and American baseball. Ask which one they prefer!

Our First Full Week!
This year in Physical Education we've made some exciting changes in the way we're teaching. Each coach will work with a specific group from each grade level exclusively for the entire trimester. It is our belief that this will allow us to track the students growth more effectively and help them to progress through skills more efficiently. We are very excited about this change and looking forward to watching ALL of the student grow. We will continue to come together as a grade level for the extended class period of each week.
For the first trimester, I will be working with Mrs. Minke's, Mrs. Owen's, Mrs. McKenzie's and Mrs. Hensler's classes. I will also be spending the first trimester with the fourth grade girls.
This week we will all be heading to the Crisp Gym to begin a unit on volleyball. The skill development and expectations for each grade level will vary, however, we will all have an opportunity to try out this great fall sport. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have an questions, concerns or comments. My email address is apope@shorecrest.org and my office phone is (727) 522-2111 ext. 440. Stay tuned for updates and photos in the near future. Have a great week!
