I will plan to assess all of my classes this week during stations.  The Kindergarten-2nd grade classes will be assessed on the skip and the overhand throw.  The skip will be their locomotor grade on the report card and the overhand throw will be their object control grade on their report card.  The 3rd grade classes will be assessed on catching a fly ball, the 4th grade classes will be assessed on the overhand throw, and the 5th grade classes will be assessed on batting.  These skills will be their object control grades on their report cards.  If I am not able to assess classes, because of 5th grade camp or from having friday off of school, I will asses them next week.  If i see a 3rd-5th grade class twice this week, I will have them play a softball game outside or inside, depending on the weather.

This week, I will have all of my classes kindergarten-5th learn and practice throwing, catching, and batting.  I will have each grade level practice the skills in ways that will be appropriate for their ability level.  To practice batting, all of the classes will start by hitting the ball off of a tee, using developmentally appropriate steps for the skill.  My 3rd-5th grade classes will play 3-4 person lead-up game during their second class of the week.

This week, I will be focusing on teaching all of the 1st-5th grade classes how to play kickball.  I will have all of them play games during class.  We will be having a teachers vs. students game next Friday, May 17th.  The April students of the month from each class 1st-5th grade will be playing the teachers.  This is the PBIS reward for this month.  The other students will get to watch, if they met the reward criteria for this month.

My kindergarten students will learn and practice the overhand throw this week.  They will practice it in a variety of ways during class.
