Our School has traveled a total of
520.95 Miles since the beginning of the school year!!
3rd grade- 177.5 miles
4th grade- 155.325 miles
5th grade- 188.125 miles
This fall, students will be participating in 10-12 minutes of mileage club each time they come to PE. Students receive a mileage card and collect hole punches after every quarter mile they complete.
Several students this fall have collected rewards in the mileage club!
Many students have collected their mileage club keychain for completing 2 miles, and some of our students have accomplished 5 or more miles, getting their first toe token!
Students with the most miles each week were awarded a certificate and a star charm to place onto their keychain after each week.
Students learned how to properly pull a flag, catch, and throw a football. TK-2nd worked with a variety of different balls to practice throwing and catching. 3rd-5th focused on teamwork and cooperation games involving football.
Students learned how to properly shoot a basketball, as well as dribble and pass. TK-2nd focused on dribbling and taking turns in a wide variety of cooperation games. 3rd-5th had the opportunity to work in a small group on shooting form and accuracy.
2 students are selected as the Lucky Duck at the start of each class, if they demonstrate SOARing behavior they get the chance to earn a sticker and a turn on the impossible shot.
At the end of each PE class, 2 students have the opportunity to take two throws to try and score in the impossible shot, aiming to win a sticker and a certificate. Students stand about five feet from the shot and get two attempts. This is a reward system paired with our Lucky Duck routine for our students who are SOARing in class and an opportunity to cheer on classmates!
Unit 3 will focus on soccer skills for grades TK-5th during this unit expect students to learn how to drribble the ball, pass, and and shoot for accuracy in a wide vareity of small group cooperstion games.
In this unit students will be participating in the Presidential Fitness Testing required for physical education classes.
