2nd - 5th grade
A...Students will stretch and then come up with one muscle that is used in the throw. The Run for the Stars will be a long run and depend on place of finish. Students return and divide into four teams, playing "Tattoo" where students throw tennis balls and try to smash their target, the basketball backboard. After cleaning up the tennis ball. Students will be placed in four groups around an 18 foot-side rope perimeter square. The game "Cleaning House" will involve throwing medium sized balls at the targets in the middle and try to keep them clear of their side. At the end of each game, the team that has blasted the targets farthest away from their own side is the cleaning champion.
B...Today will be a similar day as earlier in the week but we will make the games more competitive. "Tatoo" will have two teams on each side of the court, divided by an extended tug-o-war rope. Students will try to hit their target, the basketball goal on the opposite side as many times as possible. Score will be kept. "Cleaning House" will be improved with a larger square to give students more room to throw. Nerf balls will be removed and more volleyballs will be added. Less targets will be in the center.
K - 1st grade
A...Students will stretch and practice once again on running "Around" and completing a "Lap". We will pull out the Parachute and have a little fun this week. We will do (1) waves, (2) the Tent, (3) Magic Carpet, (4) Turtles, (5) Igloo, (6) Merry-go-round, (7) Popcorn, and other parachute games. Class will end with some advanced "5 Corners" and start to understand the concept of winning and losing.
B...We will start the day with more emphasis on going "Around" cones and completing a "Lap". We will move nto some "Self-Exploration" where students will use equipment that has been placed on the court. Kindergarten classes will use any equipment and 1st grade will be put into centers or stations and moved from center to center, like an circuit course.
