Hi everyone,
It’s been a great fall with the children progressing nicely in many different areas, including overall fitness and strength, various skill development, and with our classroom expectations, such as effort and taking pride in all that we do, appreciating the efforts of their classmates and working together on various tasks and activities. All skills are taught in a progressive, age appropriate manner, with the skill level increasing as children move up in grades.
Pre Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Grade 1
Our students have been continuing to work hard, doing their best, being a kind and helpful partner, and improving their fitness, strength and flexibility. In our frisbee unit, we worked on throwing and catching, as we incorporated and worked on understanding how to curve or bend the frisbee and control its flight, as well as different catching techniques. We finished with a modified frisbee golf activity that groups played and had fun with. We also spent some time working at fitness and skills stations in the gym, along with our usual running and exercising routines. Grade 1 students also participated in our lacrosse unit and a mile run/walk challenge.
Grade 2 and Grade 3
The students have been continuing to work hard, being a kind and helpful partner and improving their fitness, strength, and flexibility .We finished our lacrosse unit in late October, working on throwing, catching, cradling and scooping ground balls. In our frisbee unit, the children worked on catching a frisbee.The children were also shown different ways to throw a frisbee (bending and curving). We finished with a disc (frisbee) golf course that groups played, and practiced keeping their score. The students are also actively participating in the mile run/walk and running club, which is posted on bulletin boards in the gym. The children have been doing great and they take pride in their accomplishments and improvements, as we do!
