We ended 3rd quarter with the badminton unit. Students were introduced to and practiced the serve, drive, clear, smash, and drop shot. They learned the rules of doubles play and moved into games. Fourth quarter begins on Monday, March 11th. We will begin this quarter with our dance unit. Students will get to choose their groups across five classes, choose their own music, and create dances that align with our rubric. They will have the option to perform in front of the large group or only in front of a teacher. While the students start out on the shy side at the beginning of this unit, they end up having lots of fun and create some incredible routines!
We began 3rd quarter with the floor hockey unit. Students have been introduced to and practiced the basic foundational skills of stickhandling, passing, and shooting. They have since moved into game play and are learning offensive & defensive strategies with an emphasis on safety and fitness. The students are doing a great job and seem to really enjoy playing. We will move into the badminton unit next.
