Track & Field

This week is all about track & field events. We started the week learning how to pass a baton during a relay race. We practiced this event a couple of days. The following pictures are of students during the hurdles event. Some of the classes have already learned and practiced the Shot-Put (we are using a softball). All the classes will have learned how to pass the baton, jump hurdles and throw a Shot-put by the end of the week. We will review all these events next week and add discus throwing. Again, it is a modified discus, not the real thing.

Speed Stacks

Cups aren't just for drinking out of anymore. I'm starting a Speed Stacks club at lunch recess. We met after lunch today to practice our skills. The following students watched the video last week. We currently don't have a lot of cups, so I can only take a few kids at a time. I will work on trying to get more cups throughout the school year. Keep visiting the blog for additional pictures.

Recess Games

All the classes are currently learning how to play a variety of recess games. Games such as 4 square, hopscotch, hula hoop activities, and many more. Our class always begins with a warm up to get our heart rate up. We then learn/play an activity and then end with a cool down & stretching.
