GRADING FOR PE WILL BE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:
1. attendance
2. being prepared with PE uniform and gym shoes
3. participation in class
4. sportsmanship (effort and attitude)
5. cooperation (following directions and working with classmates)
Before the Christmas break we finished two very successful units in volleyball and badminton. Students in the upper grades showed some great teamwork in volleyball and some very spirited badminton games were played!
We have just completed our basketball unit. The first graders showed some surprising shooting skills and even the kindergarteners were dribbling a ball! In the coming weeks the younger grades will continue with cooperative and/or tag and chase games while the older kids play broom ball. We’ll finish off the trimester with all the grades participating in a bowling unit.
We are also beginning to meet in the classroom for health once a week. Fourth to eighth grade will have health twice a week a few weeks down the line. Our health curriculum is centered around the archdiocese adoptions Second Steps, Steps to Respect, and Talking about Touch (some of which is taught through religious ed.). The major focus of these adoptions is self-esteem and building appropriate interpersonal skills. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me here at St. Ignatius.
