K: Our Kindergarten classes have been working on locomotor/non locomotor games over the past few weeks in PE. We are building strong foundations for future PE activities through games and activities while learning running, skipping, galloping and other movements. Our Kindergarten students have also learned to use a variety of equipment while having fun learning these skills.

1st: Our 1st grade classes have also been working on locomotor/non locomotor games over the

past few weeks in PE. These classes are strengthening their foundations for future PE

activities/sports through games and activities involving locomotor movements.

2nd: My second grade PE classes are now working on throwing and catching through games

and activities. Classes are focusing on using correct throwing motions all while playing these

games/activities.

3rd: Third graders have successfully wrapped up their first ever Quidditch Unit! There are a

variety of skills that are learned while playing this game. Classes then transitioned over to hand-

eye coordination activities.

4th: Fourth graders have also wrapped up Quidditch this week. Having played Quidditch in third,

made this game even more interesting as they really pick up the skills! Fourth grade also

worked on hand-eye coordination games in the closing weeks of October.

5th: My fifth graders have also wrapped up Quidditch Unit this week. Having worked the longest

on the game of Quidditch the longest, it has been amazing to see them play! We closed the

month of October with some throwing activities.

The "Sportsperson of the Month" goes to a student at each grade level going above and beyond in Physical Education Class. This includes(but is not limited to) following the rules of the game, being safe, respectful of other students, taking care of the equipment, and playing fair.
