WEEK 10: VOLLLEYBALL and SCOOTERS

Volleyball continues this week as Wednesday starts the beginning of week 2. This week we will continue to emphasize the volleyball serve. Students will practice for a short time with a partner then take an assessment/test form and record how many times they can serve over the net out of ten. After partner groups turn in their skills test, they will be quickly introduced to the bump and challenged to practice with their partner. When all groups are finished with the skills test, students will form two teams and play another week of "Serve Newcombe Volleyball".

Kindergarten through 2nd grades will continue finishing their fitness test. All grades should finish by the middle of next week. When they finish their final test there will be half of the class left and they will begin to use the scooters. They will be introduced to keeping their bottoms only on the scooters for safety and pushing backwards instead of forward for greater speeds! We will play free scoot, bumper scooters, speed races, tag, and partner push. Next week will be teh great "Treasure Hunt".
