Physical Education Class for the week of Jan 29th-Feb 2nd

I will have my 4th-5th grade classes start the week by writing in their journals and playing a sideline basketball game.  They will be learning and writing about the third marking period personal/social skill, which is respect for others.  The second class of the week, I will have them write in their journal again to review the basketball unit.  Once we are finished with the review, I will have them play a between unit game for the rest of the class.  The 3rd graders will learn about their third marking period personal/social skill, which is cooperation during the first class of the week.  Once we are finished, I will have them play a between unit game.  I will also have them play a between unit game for the second class of the week.  The Kindergarten-2nd grade classes will learn and practice their locomotor skill for this marking period, which is the slide.  I will have them practice it during a variety of games and activities.  To finish the class, they will continue to practice the animal scoots during the scooter races.

Physical Education Class For the Week of Jan 16th-19th

This week, I  will be testing all of the students on the object control skill and locomotor skill for this marking period during stations.  This will only be a four day week, because of the Martin Luther King holiday on Monday.  This means that some of my Monday 3rd-5th grade classes will only see me once this week, so these classes will only have stations this week.  The locomotor skill for Kindergarten and 1st is galloping and the locomotor skill for 2nd grade is Jump Roping.  The object control skill for all grades is the hand dribble for basketball.  This skill will be assessed in different ways for each grade level.  The 3rd-5th grade classes will play a sideline basketball game during the second class this week. The kindergarten classes will spend both classes this week finishing the stations.
