This week students in all grade levels will be introduced to the game of Bocce Ball. Bocce is a relatively simple game that involves rolling a ball - the bocce - as close as possible to the target - the pallino. Through Bocce. students are working on hand-eye coordination, judgement, sportsmanship, fair play, and score keeping. Another great benefit - its pretty easy to be good! Fun for all on the field this week!
For the fourth graders, this unit is the first of several "tournament units." Giving the game a more competitive focus not only helps to keep the boys interested and on task, it also prepares them for real life situations that involve winning and losing. We look forward to seeing them exhibit the maturity we know they have developed!
