Welcome back Williams students and families. I hope you are ready for an exciting year in PE. Some new changes have made Williams PE again one of the best places for students to learn about their body, working with others, physical skills, and how to have fun physically! All classes will attend PE two times every week and for 50 minutes. We are able to do this by have two classes come to PE at a time. The classes are bigger but will not sacrifice time in activities. We have added lots of new equipment with grants, additional budget money, GRU funds, and PTA funds.
2nd-5th grades
A...Students will become familiar with the red spot formation, learn the 2 class behavior rules, and then go immediately into parachute activities. We will add a parachute and do (1) waves, (2) tent, (3) igloo, and (4) magic carpet. Next, we will stop parachuting and learn our assigned spots for the rest of the year. Our coomunication/cooperation game will follow. Student must group themselves by the answer to several questions. All students must cooperate with each other to succeed in finding everyone with the same answer. This game will be followed by a few more parachute games: (1) merry go round, (2) blast off, (3) over under, and (4) popcorn. Within theses parachute games, the 3 grading rules of PE will be introduced.
B...Students will review their spots when classes begins. We will introduce warmups and stretch, emphasis on "Hamstrings". The class will do a few parachute games that did not get finished last class or have student choice. Students will begin their unit on "Group Challenges". Students will get into groups of 6 - 8 students and be placed in a station, or challenge: (1) Acid River, (2) Time Machine, (3) Frogs on the Pond, (4) Three Story Building, (5) Group Juggling, (6) Hot Lava, (7) The Switch. Students will see two challenges today.
K - 1st grade
A...These grades will learn about red spots for lining up when coming to PE. Parachute games will follow with similar games as 2nd - 5th grades. The PE behavior rules will be introduced. We will review spots once again then go over the concept of running "Around" something! We will do a few practice runs, a few more parachute games, then play "5 Corners". Students must moves to one of five designated areas on the court in ten seconds without touching other students.
B...The second class of the week will again review spots then learn about stretches and warmups. Students will play parachute games once again and revisit games from earlier in the week. Students will do a "Grouping Game" where a number will be called out and students will have to get themselves into groups of that size as quickly as possible. We will end class with active games of "Squirrels in the Trees" and "Dog Tails". These games are designed to get students to start thinking about spatial awareness and locomotor movements.
