Frisbee

This week all classes will be learning how to properly throw a frisbee. Did you know that almost everything about throwing a frisbee is OPPOSITE what we do to throw a ball? Ask your child to explain the differences. Students will progress from skill work to modified games of ultimate frisbee and ultimate handball. We may even play some frisbee kickball! Its sure to be a fun week :)

Welcome to PE with Coach Pope! I'm excited to begin working with my new groups for our second trimester of school: Ms. Conroy's group, Ms. Hawley's class, Ms. Graham's group, Mrs. Hensler's group, and the boys from Mrs. Davis and Ms. Tucker's classes!

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!
