PE Homework for Fall Break!!!

Week # 7: Finish Soccer (Kicking Skills) Unit

Last week was a smorgasbord of fun here in the PME gym. Since we had  short week with the whole Hurricane Irma thing and I was out on Thursday/Friday, we had to change things up some and take a hiatus from our soccer unit.  We are going to get "back on track" this week for sure!!!

This week we will finish our Soccer/Kicking Skills Unit. We will continue our Micro Soccer, small sided rotational games using "Coach's Rules". We will also perform some very cool "warm up" fitness activity using jump ropes before each our games to help get us "back on track" and "ready to move"!!! We will also integrate some math skills in to the lesson just to keep things interesting. 

If we have time, at the end of the week (Thursday and Friday), we will play some AWESOME large group chasing and fleeing games to cushion us as we get ready for our Fall Break next week!!!. 

Kicking Cues!

Week # 6 and 7: Soccer Micro Games & 4th/5th Grade Dribbling/Passing Assessment

 

We hope everyone had a great time relaxing and resting during the 3 Day Labor Day Weekend!

Last week, we had a great time working on our soccer skills by doing some passing, dribbling and shooting stations around the gym and outside. We certainly have a lot of very talented soccer players here at Pickett's Mill. 

This week we will evaluate the 4th and 5th grade students on their dribbling, passing and trapping skills and begin playing some indoor and outdoor soccer Micro-Games. We will rotate small group teams of about 5 - 7 students playing "Pickett's Mill- Coach's Rules". All age groups play (split up into 2 parts of the gym/field). We will use students as referees and the students will all rotate to different positions on the court/field.  The students always love playing "simulated" soccer and I know they are looking forward to the challenge.

 

Dribbling Cues!

Week # 5: Soccer/Kicking Stations: Dribbling, Passing, Trapping and Shooting Skills

Last week, we got to go through some SUPER Cardio and Muscular Endurance Circuits and then play some FANTASTIC large group games of "McGivor" and "KingPin"! It was a BLAST and the students got to throw, toss, roll, catch and block as they attempted to knock down hula huts and oversize inflatable bowling pins! 

This week, we will introduce and work on learning several soccer skills as we set up ball handing, passing, trapping, shooting and dribbling stations in the gym or on the field. Several stations will be set up using cones, nets and walls and the students will move about the gym/field and practice their skills after a demonstration and instructional session. The stations will change each time the students enter for class but we will still "focus" on the above-stated skills. Students will work by themselves, with a partner and in small group scenarios. 

The 4th and 5th grade students will be assessed on there ability to dribble and pass a soccer ball later in the unit. Kindergarten to 3rd grade will be assessed on how they move in space during stations, activities and games.

We are working towards playing some short court and full field games of soccer with all age groups. I am hoping the weather will hold out for us and the field will be dry enough in the morning so we can get out there to play some short field, small group micro soccer games. 

 

 

Week # 4: Cardiovascular and Agility Fitness Circuits and Large Group Throwing Games

Last week we enjoyed some movement with some cool WANDS with our younger students and did participated in some TABATA Fitness with our older students. We also played some extremely fun Large Group Chasing and Fleeing games of PIRATES!!!

This week we will be performing some Cardiovascular Fitness Task Cards and playing some large Group Overhand Throwing Games of KingPin!!!

Going to be a GREAT week!!!

 

Pickett's Mill PE Expectations

Week # 3: Large Group Chasing/Fleeing Games and 4 Square/Striking off of Tee's

Last week we finished some great activities and challenges using beanbags. We were very creative as we tossed and caught the beanbags in a variety of ways. We really developed our "HAND-EYE COORDINATION" as we played. We also got to play some outstanding beanbag games such as "Hotfoot" and "Beanbag Balance Tag". It was a blast!!!This week we will be playing one of our students favorite games- "PIRATES" at the beginning of the week. I feel it is now time to get the students "MOVING" around the whole gym using a tactical game that involves chasing, fleeing, dodging and tagging! Pirates is fantastic for developing the students' "Space Awareness". There are multiple boundaries and it forces the students' to use "self-control", "teamwork" and "tactical strategy planning". I LOVE IT!!!

We will be progressing into some STRIKING ACTIVITIES later in the week. We will play various games of 2 and 4 Square with the older students (where they strike a ball using their hands) and we will be Striking off of Tee's with a bat with our younger one's.  

Should be a memorable week. It's always fun here at "the Mill"!

Next week, we will begin a unit of kicking skills and soccer inside the gym and on the field. 

Week # 2: General Movement and Manipulative Skill Stations/Hand-Eye Coordination

Welcome back Pirates! It was great seeing everyone back in the gym last week. It was also cool getting to know the new students that came from other schools and our brand new Kindergarten students too. Last week we focused on "Establishing a Learning Environment", and "Moving in General and Personal Space". We also learned some skills and concepts involved in playing some low organized games. We played "Hot Foot", "Pac Man Tag", "Listen and Move", and "Stuck in the Mud"? We also addressed "Playground Safety" through a video we developed a couple years ago and we were even able to take everyone outside to the TRACK to run and walk a few laps as well. That gave us the opportunity to discuss safety and our expectations during outdoor running/jogging/walking laps. 

This week, the students will participate in some general movement and skill stations to help them understand the concept of moving around from area to area and participating in a variety of cool activities geared to develop their coordination, strength, speed and agility. We will also give the students a chance to use our climbing wall since it has been several months since they have been on it. Towards the end of the week we will work on some toss & catch beanbag challenges to develop some proficient hand-eye coordination. Don't think the challenges will be easy. We will progress to some really fun toss and catch movements using our whole bodies. 

Rest up each night and don't forget to wear your tennis shoes on your P. E. days. Parents, if you have any health concerns for your child that you would like us to know, please put it in writing so we can keep it on record.
