Shooting for success!

The Basketball unit will start Monday, December 1st. Students in first grade will be working on individual skills before starting to play games the following week. Dribbling, Passing and Shooting skills will all be stressed before teamwork comes into play. Second grade will be reviewing basic skills before working more in depth. Both grades will be using scooters to incorporate safe movement and a bit of fun in the unit.

Gobbling up the exercise!

Students in the gym at Ide are still bowling and perfecting their form. They are reminded that even though it is exercise students still need to do other activities that are a little more strenuous. After break first and second grade students will be jumping into a basketball unit to show their skills in teamwork and individual skills. Have a great break!

Changing lanes!

Students in P.E. class have spent the last couple weeks with recreational activities in the gym and will finish our recreation unit with a week and a half of bowling. Second graders will review scoring and first grade will be working on the correct bowling form before both groups start recording their scores for fun! Kindergarten students are starting to work on several jump rope skills which will lead up to a successful Jump Rope for Heart coming up after the new year!

Climbing Rocks!

The climbing unit is off to a great start as last week we stressed the rules regarding the climbing wall for 1st and 2nd grade. Students understand the importance of safe habits and the risk of injury. This week we will introduce various activities the students will enjoy which will develop better climbers. Kindergarten will be starting balancing and jumping activities that will lead up to jumping rope shortly.

No school Tuesday due to Veteran's Day! Enjoy the day off and find some time for a little physical activity!
