What's going on in Phys Ed?
December 2023
Hoover Elementary
Kindergarten is learning and playing some of the most fun and nostalgic PE games; the parachute and scooters. The kids are having a blast and so excited to come to PE.
1st grade will be participating in frisbee throwing skills, silly fun games with pool noodles, and an introduction to floor hockey (striking objects with a hockey style stick).
2nd grade takes floor hockey to the next level practice the skills and learning basic strategies through game play. They will also be doing frisbee throwing/catching in December as well.
Eisenhower Elementary
The weeks between Thanksgiving break and Winter break fly by. 3rd and 4th grade works on basketball skills including dribbling, passing, shooting, and incorporating those skills into various little games and activities.
5th grade gets into volleyball. They love it! For many of them it is their first experience with volleyball or at least playing it correctly. We learn the basic passes (bump and set), then we learn how to serve, then we learn game rules, and finally get into some game play. The students really enjoy this!
Apple Crunch Day
At the end of October both Hoover and Eisenhower participated in Apple Crunch Day. This was an event to celebrate healthy eating. Representatives from Penn State Pro Wellness came and brought some locally grown apples for the students to try. Each student got to try a Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and a Honeycrisp apple.
