The Kindergarten-2nd graders will be graded on the slide for the locomotor skill and catching a fly ball for the the object control skill. Next, the third graders will be graded on the jump rope for the object control skill. Finally, the 4th and 5th graders will be graded on the sit and reach test for flexibility for the physical fitness skill and the underhand strike/serve for the object control skill.

All classes will be learning a personal/social skill for this marking period. This will be part of their sportsmanship grade. The Kindergarten-3rd grades will learn about cooperation and the 4th and 5th graders will learn and write in their journals about respect.

The 4th and 5th graders will be tested and graded on the sit and reach for their physical fitness test for the 3rd marking period. This test is a measure of flexibility. The standards are listed below:

The 1st – 3rd graders will learn about the personal/social skill cooperation throughout the 3rd marking period.  I will constantly remind the students using the poster on the gym will about the different ways that they should use cooperation.

The 4th and 5th graders will learn about the personal/social skill respect for self and others throughout the 3rd marking period.  I will constantly remind the students using the poster on the gym will about the different ways that they should use respect their self and others.  I will have both grades write in their journals about respect and the different way to use it.  They will also write sentences in their journals about how they have had respect in their own life.

These personal/social skills will be used as a main part of the students grade for sportsmanship on their report card.

To start this week, all of my classes kindergarten-5th grade will be doing stations.  They will be getting tested on the skills they have been practicing for the third marking period.  The K-2nd grade classes will be tested on sliding and catching.  The 3rd grade classes will be tested on the 1 min. jump rope test and the 4th/5th grade classes will be getting tested on serving.  To finish the week, my classes that I see twice will be starting a short tennis/badminton unit.
