WEEK 14: VOLLEYBALL / LOOSEN UP


There is only one day of PE this week because of Thanksgiving holidays!!!

3rd - 5th grades

A...Students will begin volleyball this week. We will start with serving skills. Students will attempt to hold the ball steady for the service strike. The serving arm should stay straight while striking the ball. Students will practice with a partner in thie rown space, then over the net. We will end our partner unions and combine into two teams on each side of the net for "Serve Ball'. This is a wild game where students will attempt to serve the ball over the net so it drops and hits the ground on the other teams side. Teams can save balls by catching them before they hit the ground. We will transition to "Serve Newcombe Volleyball". Two separate games will occur over the net. Students will play standard Newcombe rules only using serves to move the ball. Concepts discussed and used will be the server, the service, three touches on a side, volleyball lines, rotation, and scoring.

2nd grade

A...Students will do the same activities as 3rd - 5th grades except they will use the throw or toss instead of the serve.

K - 1st grades

A...Students will take a break from the intense work they have been doing. Groups will be formed and work on assorted activities, switching from station to station at the whistle bursts. Activity stations include soccer, football, flag belts, jump ropes, basketballs, hoops, and others.
