This week I will have the Kindergarten students start with the first two lessons of my basketball unit. \u00a0They will be learning about the hand dribble and passing this week. \u00a0The 1st and 2nd grade classes will be continuing with using the hula hoops. \u00a0This week they will be learning about relay races and they will be practicing a hula hoop relay race during their class. \u00a0Then next week the 1st and 2nd grade will start with my basketball unit. \u00a0This week the 3rd-5th grade classes will be learning about and playing an Olympic sport, called team handball. \u00a0I will have all of the 3rd-5th grade classes play this game for the next two to three classes. \u00a0 This is a sport that uses some of the skills we have learned about so far this school year and some that we will about as the year goes on. \u00a0It incorporates skills such as throwing, catching, passing, defensive guarding, and the goalie position. Once we are finished with practicing game, they will begin with my basketball unit.<\/p>\n
I want to take a moment to congratulate the two classes that won my sportsmanship chart this marking period. \u00a0Mrs. Korte’s class won for the 1st and 2nd grades and Mrs. Pischke’s class won it for the 3rd-5th grades. \u00a0Each class receives a trophy to put inside their classroom and a certificate to hang up in the hallway. \u00a0They will keep these two things until the end of the second marking period, unless they end up winning it again. \u00a0I give this sportsmanship award to the class that ends up with the most points at the end of each marking period. \u00a0The classes start with 10 points when they walk in the gym. \u00a0Each class can either lose or gain points from the start to the end of each class depending on how the class or individual students follow the rules I have for my class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
