I will have 3rd-5th grade classes continue to practice the hand dribble, passing, and shooting during their first class of the week.  They will then play holiday games during the second class of the week.  The Kindergarten classes will practice the hand dribble, shooting, and galloping during their first class of the week.  They will then also play holiday games during their second class of the week.  The 1st and 2nd grade classes will play holiday games during their class this week.

To start the week, my 3rd-5th grade classes will play a team handball game.  They will then continue with practicing basketball skills for the second class of the week.  The main skill I will work on this week with all of my classes will be the one handed push shot.  I will have the students practice this skill in a variety ways to help them improve on how they perform the skill.  Each class will perform it differently, so that it is developmentally appropriate for their ability level.

This week, my kindergarten-2nd grade classes will work on the one handed push shot.   I will have the students practice this skill in a variety ways to help them improve on how they perform the skill.  Each class will perform it differently, so that it is developmentally appropriate for their ability level.  My 3rd-5th grade classes will be learn about and play an Olympic sport, called team handball.  I will have all of the 3rd-5th grade classes play this game for the next two to three classes.   This is a sport that uses some of the skills we have learned about so far this school year and some that we will continue to practice as the year goes on.  It incorporates skills, such as, throwing, catching, passing, defensive guarding, and the goalie position.  Once we are finished with playing team hand ball, they will begin to learn about and practice the one handed push shot.
