Throughout the month of November we have focused on our basketball skills, primarily the basketball dribble. We practiced by pretending to smash bugs, dribble around mountains, and move at different speeds. The students in grades K-5 played a variety of games to enhance their skills.

Students in grades K-5 got to test their skills climbing the rope. Students who made it halfway up joined the Tigers Club. Students who made it to the top joined the Lions Club. K-2 students are only allowed to the Tigers Club.

The students in grade DK-2 used the parachute in a variety of ways. Great way to build teamwork within the classroom.

Students in grade 2nd-5th used communication and effort to get across the gym as a team without touching the ground. One of the most favorite games we play in PE.

Big thanks to the Northwood PTA for allowing our 3rd-5th grade students participate in the learn to skate program. This year we chose Rollerblades and the kids are loving it. Thanks to Rebecca Moore, John Farhat, Anna Decker, Tori McIntosh, Jessica Mckay Stephanie Truss, Courtney Hoffman, Linda Wells, Jessica Sorbo, Kelsey Fox, Miriam Gasparotto, Juliana Schewe, and Selena Wright for helping out. Sorry if I missed anyone!!

The students worked on their abdominal strength by performing a variety of exercises with their abdominal muscles.
