Weekly Update (9/24-9/28)

"Rain, rain, go away..."

Due to the field being unplayable because of the rain last week, many of the PE classes were rearranged. As such, not all classes were able to begin the floor hockey unit. Only a few grade levels were able to complete the introductory lesson. Therefore, last week's plans have been pushed back to this week.

The students did a great job with the balloon lessons/activities last week. This week we will continue to work on various skills through group games.

Kindergarten (Vigue):
We will begin the hockey lesson with an introduction of equipment and safety rules, followed by some stick handling drills. Later in the week, we will go over positions and begin playing games.

Welcome Message

Each week I will post an update/preview about the plans for the week. This first trimester I will be working with the following PE groups: Kindergarten-Vigue, First-Whitecage, Second-O'Mullane, Third-Mitchell, and Fourth-Hughes/Telemachos.
Additionally, there will be photos and videos pages that will be updated throughout the school year.
