Week of 9/13

Its another busy week in PE with Coach Pope. Lots to do. . . here's an idea of what's in store!

This week students will be introduced to volleyball. From the youngest age students can learn to track and toss, in preparation for underhand and overhand passing as they get older. Concepts ready position, moving to be prepared, and communication with teammates will be emphasized this week. Students in second, third, and fourth grade will also be introduced to serving - both underhand and overhand.

Kindergarten and 1st grade will have another opportunity to practice the rock climbing skills that were introduced last week.

Second, third, and fourth graders will be finishing up our fall fitness testing as well. All second graders will run the 1/2 mile on Thursday. All third graders will run the mile on Tuesday and all fourth graders on Thursday. Please be sure to send a water bottle with your child and emphasize that this run should be done at his or her own pace.
