4th and 5th Grade PE classes started swimming this week – finally!! After a few years of being closed, our swimming pool at Henry Ford Elem. is open! There are swim lessons and water exercises at night and the 4th and 5th Grade PE classes are swimming now, and again, in the spring. What fun! First there was a swim test and now there is bobbing and kicking and floating and more next week!
This week is also the beginning of the 2nd Marking Period and a chance to learn new things. These are the things we will be concentrating on in each grade:
K – Basketball dribble, galloping, parts of the body and Best Effort.
1 – Basketball dribble, galloping, vertical jump and Best Effort.
2 – Basketball dribble, vertical jump and Best Effort.
3 – Basketball dribble, jumping rope and Best Effort.
4th and 5th – Basketball dribble, passing, jumping rope and Responsibility.
It would be great if the students could practice their skills at home, in addition to practicing in PE Class.
Have a great weekend!!
