About My Class Room
The classes are geared to enhance the students ability to participate at a level that best suits their age group.
Soccer and Volleyball Unit
Soccer is the focus of our fourth quarter. We will be introducing and reviewing the basic skills of soccer. These skills would be: Throw-ins, Dribbling, Trapping the ball, Passing, Shooting on Goal, and the general rules of the game. Our goal is to have the students have a basic understanding of the skills necessary to play the game of soccer. This Soccer unit should be a fun and exciting time for our students. Students should practice their skills at home to help them improve. Any additional practice your child does will enhance their skill development in Soccer.
After our Soccer unit we will be playing Volleyball. We will be working on our serve, our bumping skills and our hitting skills. The students will learn the basic rules of the game to play the game of Volleyball.
In addition, we will be continuing our lunchtime games. We recently finished our Football tournament and the winners were Mrs. Knight’s fourth grade class and Mrs. Luther’s third grade class. We will be starting our Speed Basketball tournament at lunchtime games soon. As the year is winding down, we look forward to our Great Race in May. Please check the classroom newsletters in May for times of the race.
It is our goal that P.E. will be a fun learning experience for all students. We look forward to partnering with you in your child's physical development and well being.
Overview of Physical Education
My classes will give each child an opportunity to enhance their learning toward games and body awareness. Their class time will be fun and challenging. During the classes, I would like them to bring a water bottle with their name on it. Each child should wear shoes that fit properly so that the shoe remains on their foot. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.
