WEEK #6

K4 this week started class with a movement song called Singing In the Rain. Then we reviewed I See... You See... Next we played with yarn balls and manipulated them many different ways. Our main skill focus was our catching skills. To end class, we played a Fairview Classic game called Monster Tag.

K5 this week got the opportunity to play Monster Tag one more time. We then played Stop, Drop, and Roll Tag. Here the students learned what to do if on fire or in a smoke filled room. We all then got an opportunity to be fire, smoke, or fire fighters.

1st & 2nd grade this week got the opportunity to play games and activities that require no toys or equipment. We learned that to exercise all you really need is your body. So, we started class playing I see...You see... Next we played Go Touch and Beep Beep Times Up. To end class, we played Bippity Boppity Boo.

3rd grade this week learned about the skeletal system. We discussed the primary job of our skeletal system and the many ways you can take care of it. The rest of class was used to play the activity called The Skeletal Relay or (Archaeologists/ Paleontologists).
