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 continue to play 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 handball, they will begin to learn about and practice the one handed push shot.

This will only be a two day week, so I will only see ten of my classes this week.  During the Kindergarten-2nd grade classes I see, I will continue to work on their locomotor skill (gallop k/1st and jump roping 2nd) during the first part of their class.  They all will work on their object control skill (dribbling) and the set-shot during the final part of their class.  The 3rd-5th grade classes will all play team handball during their class this week.  This is an olympic sport that I modify to play with my classes.  The game incorporates soccer and basketball skills, which are the two sports we have been focusing on during the first part of the school year.

I hope everyone enjoys their vacation and has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

This week, I will continue to have all of my class work on basketball skills.  My plan will be to focus on the hand dribble and passing.  The classes will practice these skills during a variety of drills, activities, and games during their class or classes.  I will also have my 2nd-5th grade classes practice jump roping during their warm-up.

This week, I will be switching all of my classes over to basketball.  The 4th and 5th grade classes will start the week by using the chromebooks to take a basketball unit pre assessment on google classroom.  This assessment will only be used to see what the students know about basketball before I start the unit.  They will take the assessment again after the completion of the unit to see if they have learned the information.  I will plan to give them a review before the final assessment.  Once the pre assessment is finished, I will have the students play a game for the remaining time.  During the second class of the week, the 4th and 5th grade classes will  learn and practice the hand dribble in a variety of ways.  The K-3rd grade classes will also learn and practice the hand dribble in a variety of ways during their class or classes this week.  There will be a few classes this week that will miss seeing me this week on Tuesday, because the students will not have school that day.  Next week, I will plan to focus on dribbling and passing with all of my classes.
