We completed our basketball unit with some games at the end of last week. All of the students did a wonderful job learning new skills and showing good sportsmanship on the court.
Coach Cameron's P.E. classes will be stepping off of the basketball court and onto the football field this week. Kindergarten and first grade will learn how to hold and throw a mini football, catch and run with the ball, as well as learn how to grab the flags correctly. The older grades are focusing on throwing to moving targets, catching while running, hiking the ball, and learning how to hand-off correctly.

We are continuing with basketball this week. The younger grades are focusing on using their finger tips and wrist to dribble through space. They are also working on learning how to use the backboard as help while shooting. Kindergarten and first grade will be playing modified games related to basketball at the end of the week. Second grade will continue to work on alternating hands when dribbling, using the backboard as an option for shooting, and pivoting and passing the basketball. Third grade will work on dribbling into a lay-up, rebound, and shooting with correct form. The fourth grade boys are working on keeping their eyes straight while dribbling around set cones, dribbling into a lay-up, and catch and shooting. Second, third, and fourth grade will be taking part in modified games as well.
It is a new trimester, and once again time to switch coaches. I would like to welcome all of the students coming from coach Pope's P.E. classes. Throughout this trimester we will continue to work on have good sportsmanship, teamwork, and skill development for each sport.
This week is all about the game of basketball. Kindergarten and first grade will be working on things like dribbling the basketball in one place, dribbling the basketball along the lines of the court, passing the ball to partners correctly, and getting the ball above the basketball using one or two hands. Second grade will be focusing on skills like dribbling the basketball while alternating hands, looking up while dribbling the basketball, and passing and shooting with correct form. Third and forth grade will be practicing using correct form while dribbling around set cones on the court, passing and shooting with correct form, pivoting, laying-up the ball, and teamwork.
