September and October in Gym

Welcome Fall! I know we are all ready for some cooler weather! I’m sure by now, everyone has heard about the dodgeball tournament in November. We are practicing throwing and catching in class with our 1st and 2nd graders. We are learning the rules for tournament dodgeball, and we are practicing our aiming. The students are super excited! Along with practicing for dodgeball, we are also focusing on our footwork. Pictured below are some students working on pattern jumps and hops. This skill requires eye - foot coordination, balance and agility. We also have pictures below of students working together to knock a ball off of a cone. This game requires guarding skills, passing, throwing, catching, and most important, team work.
