Hello Woodland Families,
K-2 students at Woodland have been busy in P.E. class learning about soccer and frisbee. During our soccer unit, students learned soccer skills (juggling, dribbling, and passing). They also participated in small-sided games. The weather was great, so we were able to get outside a lot for class.
Our next unit was frisbee skills and games. Students learned the backhand and forehand throws, as well as catching skills (alligator catch and lobster claw catch). After practicing these skills, we participated in a variety of frisbee games such as Frisbee Bowling, Kan Jam, and Disc Golf!
We also learned about conflict resolvers in class to settle disagreements. We use the game Rock, Paper, Scissors to handle these situations. We use this tool from time to time and combine it with fun, fitness warm-ups.
Currently, all students in Kindergarten - 2nd Grade are participating in a Bowling unit. When we return from Thanksgiving break, we will be starting a unit on Basketball skills.
During each class, we always spend time talking about our Woodland CARES and how to show good sportsmanship! This month we have really focused on being respectful in class and what that looks like and sounds like in the gym during P.E..

Stay Active,
Mr. A.
