GYM CLIPS
Kindergarten and 1st grade worked all week on enhancing locomotor skills and throwing skills. Mrs. Reeser and I have seen much improvement in our throwing skills. Students are working hard to step froward as you throw with the opposite foot, get your throwing arm into a "L" shape behind your shoulder, point toward your target and grip the ball in your finger pads. This week we will be playing a game working on catching and striking skills called "Hit & Run".
2nd - 5th grade have almost completed the running portion of their Fitness Test. We will begin re-testing later on for those students who want to run again to improve their score. We will begin the other items of the President's Challenge Fitness Test in a couple of weeks. 4th and 5th graders will also be participating in items of the Fitness Gram. We will be playing a game called "Football Fakeout" which is a lot of fun. The game works on teamwork and strategies, throwing and catching footballs.
