As March approaches I am getting our students ready for basketball season!  The children are learning about dribbling, passing, and shooting. 
K-2 - These grade levels are learning basic ball handling skills as well as to dribble under control both stationary and whlie moving.  Their main objective is to be able to dribble a ball while being able to keep their head up using both their dominant and non-dominant hand.  They will also be learning basic defensive skills to protect their ball from a defencder.

3-5   These grade levels have pretty much mastered dribbling so we are moving on to passing (both chest and bounce) and shooting.  The students are learning to shoot with correct form (one handed) and from various distances and heights.  They will be playing simple games to help reinforce the skills learned.

This month our students have been learning the basic movement forms of tumbling, balancing, and sequencing.  The students have learned three very basic rolls (egg, pencil, and forward) and learned how to put their bodies in various shapes.  Students applied their science and math skills to integrate what shapes will roll better and how to make their bodies round to roll!  The students are also working on creating a five part performance that will be performed as part of their final grade. 

Grades 2nd through 5th are working on the skills of throwing a frisbee and playing the games frisbee golf and ultimate frisbee. 

Grades K-1 are learning the skills of tossing and catching.  They are going to try very hard to learn the skill of juggling two items by the end of November.  Their homework assignment is to practice juggling grocery bags at home!
