This will be the final week of volleyball games for my 2nd-5th grade students.  My kindergarten and 1st grade classes will start using the parachute as their main activity.  I have a variety of activities to practice with the parachute.  This will last for the next few classes for both grades.  I will also plan to test all of the classes during stations next week on the 3rd marking period locomotor and object control skills.  These skills will include sliding and catching for the kindergarten-2nd grade classes, jump roping for the 3rd grade classes, and the underhand strike (serve) for the 4th and 5th grade classes.

I will again continue to work on volleyball skills with all of my classes this week.  My 3rd-5th grade classes will play modified beach ball volleyball game, using a jump rope as a net.  This 2 vs. 2 game will help the students learn the rules volleyball, before they play the full game.  This same group will play the full volleyball game, during their last class of the week.
