WEEK #27

K5 & 1st grade this week learned how to use their body by using balloons. We started class playing Balloon Tag. Here we learned about sharing and helping others while learning how to move in general space. We then practiced our hand eye coordination by striking the balloon with many different body parts. To finish class we played  Balloon Tag again.
2nd grade this week used recycled milk jugs as baseball gloves. We practiced this skill of catching an object with an object. We started class with a cardiovascular activity called Mosquito tag. We then manipulated the milk jugs by catching yarn balls many different ways. We then ended class playing an activity called Flurry Ball.

3rd grade this week started learning how to use their body by learning some volleyball skills. This week we learned about serving. We learned about why you serve, and we then practiced how to do the underhand serve. To start class, we played Smoking Tag. Next, we went over serving and praticed the skill. We ended class playing a serving actvity called Serve Over.

5th grade begun class playing a cardiovascular activity called True & False. We then went over underhand rolling and finished class playing Berserk, a rolling activity where you roll various types of balls at bowling pins. It's an activity played on a basketball court where if you're inbounds then you're out of bounds. The kids love this game!!
