Learning Burnball!

Welcome to PE with Coach Pope! I'm excited to begin working with my new groups for our final trimester of school!

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 - ask your child to compare and contrast Burnball and American baseball. Ask which one they prefer!

Our Final Week Together. . .

It has truly been a pleasure teaching the groups I have had this trimester. So much hard work and cooperation - these children have truly been models of good sportsmanship. As we close out this week we will be completing our last unit - Bowling. The students will have the opportunity to put in to practice many of the skills we have been working on all trimester. It is sure to be a fun week for all!
