This week in Physical Education:

Kinder and first grade continue to learn and review rules and procedures in my class. Because of the controlled chaotic nature of my classroom, it is important that all students learn how to move safely through the space. I am also assessing where the kids are with their basic locomotor patterns(galloping, skipping, sliding, jumping, hopping, leaping). They are also learning some of our instant activities.

The older students are playing cooperative games. This provides me with an opportunity to have great discussion about concepts such as Cooperation, Respect, Integrity, and Perseverance. If we are successful at creating a culture that values these character traits we will be able to accomplish the learning goals of the year.

Keep an ear out for our first Family Fitness Night coming early September. It will be our Cooperative Games FFN!!
