Physical Education
LOCOMOTOR LICENSE 🚗
Throughout these 4 weeks leading up to winter break, Children's House students are going to focus on Locomotor Movements. These are different ways to move (i.e. skip, gallop, jump). Their goal is to earn a Locomotor License at the end of this unit. Be on the lookout for it in their home-folders just before winter break.
Students are learning safe movement through

ORIENTEERING 🗺️
Students work in pairs to read a map, then follow it in real life.
Cones are placed throughout the gym or the park with a landmark close-by. Students have to orient the map (rotate it so that it matched real life) and go to each cone in order.
Students use a chip reader, and tap it on the cones as they go. At the end of their course, they electronically check their progress!
CYCLING UNIT 🚲
Students are helping each other out in our cycling unit! Some students are already avid cyclists, so they pass their knowledge off to those just beginning to learn.
Those who are just beginning to learn made huge progress in their riding skills. They gained confidence, increased balance & fitness skills, and formed some great core memories.
Skeletal🦴
💪 Muscular puzzles!
Students are hard at work learning the scientific names for the bones and muscles of the human body.
Students were divided into small groups, used their relay race team skills, and built a body system puzzle!
Team Ski
CHAllenge! ⛷️
Tobin UE students were divided into 3 teams and given a team goal of getting to the other side of the gym with just two wooden planks and hand held ropes. They had to balance on the planks, and move them forward with the ropes! This is no easy task!
But with dedication, communication, resilience, and a team plan- they were able to be successful and have fun!!
From my Perspective: Communication about a team goal at an ALL TIME HIGH. Just working hard together to accomplish a team goal is awesome.

THIS SURVEY,
Communication is KEY!
This survey communicates the PE
class expectations here at Tobin..
But also gives students a space to communicate to me what they are excited or nervous about, and their learning style preference.

Classroom Visit
Some may say that the PE teacher
only works and lives in the gym!
This is not true!
I love to be visible around the school and visit classrooms to be able to reinforce expectations, and show students that teachers & staff also work together through teamwork.
TOBIN FUN DAY & 🪂 UE FIELD DAY 2023!
Tobin Children's House and Lower Elementary students enjoyed Fun Day just as they did last year with 5 different stations around the school campus.
An obstacle course, library experience, art project, parachute game, jungle gym, and DUNK TANK made for an awesome day.
Upper Elementary students showed incredible responsibility and role modeling while they "buddied" up with Children's House students last year, and this year. So we decided to throw them their own Field Day at Joan Lorentz Park in front of the CRLS Library!
Classic Field Day activities such as Capture the Flag, Dizzy Bat, Potato Sack Race, Slingshot, Hoop Pass, and even a new one - Donut Throw - were a great way to get outside for some Team Building and fun during the last week of school.
