WEEK 33: RELAY WEEK

2nd - 5th grades
A...Our theme this week is relay week. Students will get lots of leg work in today as they participate in many many different types of relays. 5th grade will do more advanced relay work as they prepare for the county 5th grade field day at Citizen's Field on Friday. Students will group into teams of 3 or 4 that include both boys and girls on each team. Relays will be run 40 yards each turn. The term disqualification will be reviewed and used throughout class. Relays include: running relay, backwards-forwards relay, baton relay, ring relay, block relay, block-ball relay, block-ball-ball relay, three ball carry-no hands relay, all equipment carry relay. We will end class with track and field sprinting. Six students will sprint 50 yards at a time then walk back around the outside to the start where they will be ready to run once again. We will talk about finishing the race and sprinting straight.
B...More relays, including line relays
