Play Ball!




First Grade

                    Working on the batting tee and throwing overhand (at a target) while stepping with their                            opposite foot.

Second Grade
                               The Second Grade has been working on basic racket skills 
                       which is HARD!  I am so proud of this moment for Maddie and Kevin.

Toss the "pancake" racket skills

Pre School 3
Toss the "pancake" to the hoop. 
There is a LOT of skills here! Hold a racket, pick up bean bag with 1 hand, put it on the racket, balance the bb so it stays on the racket, and then toss to a target! I'm tired just thinking about it :)

We needed to learn safety before we can play. Notice, all the students are sitting at a safe distance from the batting tee and bat. Each student gets to place the ball and then hit it off. When we can show how to be safe this will become a station for N2.

Another learning moment.... N2 is working on rolling at a target. Part of that learning is listening and following directions! The students were asked to stand on the line and roll together. After my direction they could retrieve their ball while trying not to knock over pins.

I HOPE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS !!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was the most exciting work day! Not only is SPEED STACKS an activity that spans the ages it also helps with reading and math. Cups are used from left to right which simulates reading patterns. Both dominant and non-dominant hands are used which means using both brain hemispheres. Exercises fine motor skills and increases Hand Eye Coordination. The list goes on!  Your children all played with their own set of cups to learn patterns then participated in different games and competitions. It was an AWESOME day! Please check out all the pictures and videos. world records: https://www.thewssa.com/records/ 5th and 8th                                                                                        K ...

Grades 4 and 5 have been working together nicely during P.E.  Our first unit is VOLLEYBALL !  Students started off learning to move their feet to get to the ball, keeping our hands in front of our body, and learning to always be ready. 6th and 7th Grade are practicing their FRISBEE skills. We started working on basic throw and catch, receiving a pass on the run, and pass and go. We are off to a good start! Our Nursery Dragons have begun simple stations ! Balance, building (fine motor) and equipment manipulation (aka fun:)
