Physical Education Class for the Week of Sept 17th-21st

This week, I will continue to work on soccer skills with all of my classes K-5th grade.  Last week, I taught and had the students practice the foot dribble, trapping, and changing directions.  I always try my best to teach and have the students practice skills that are developmentally appropriate for their grade level.  This week, the main skill I will teach and have the students practice will be passing.  I will have them practice it in a variety of ways and have them play lead-up games that incorporate the skill.  I will also have the 3rd-5th grade students learn and practice headers and punting.

I will have the K-1st grade students practice their locomotor skill for this marking period, which is hoping.  The 2nd graders will also practice their locomotor skill for this marking period, which is galloping.  I will have them practice the skills around the red line and during tagging games.

The 4th and 5th grade students will run outside this week to practice for their 1 mile, 13 minute (4th grade), and 15 minute (5th grade) runs.  I also want to get them prepared for the Cipriano Run on Oct 15th, if they decide to participate.
