Kickball


      This week, we are continuing our emphasis on our arm muscles (biceps, triceps, and deltoids) but we are warming up with leg exercises as well. Our fitness will include squat jumps, planks, pushups, lunges, and jumping jacks. We are also so goodbye to four square. Many scholars enjoyed the short week of it and are encouraged to play pop-up games on the recess playground. This week, we begin two weeks of kickball. We'll start with running and pitching instruction followed by rules and positions. We will end each day with kickball related games. Our second week will consist of longer 20+ minute kickball games outside. Please make sure your scholars bring a jacket since it is a bit chilly.

Have a wonderful week!

Bye Bowling! Hello Four Square!


      This week, we are saying goodbye to bowling after our successful bowling tournaments last week. We will continue to focus on our arm muscle groups with emphasis on our biceps, triceps, and deltoids. The scholars will also continue to review exercises this week (Go-Go Pushups & 1 minute planks). With the departure of bowling, we will begin a short, one week unit on four square with rules explained and lots of games being played to encourage scholars to create organized, fair games during recess.

Here's to a wonderful week!

Happy New Year & Welcome Back!


      I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing winter break. I spent my time back home in Nashville, TN with family and friends.

      For the beginning of our 3rd quarter, I will be introducing a new muscle group (upper and lower arms). We will also be reviewing a few fitness exercises we learned before the break (diamond planks, squats, and burpees). For our next sports unit, I am very excited to introduce bowling to your scholars. We will be exploring proper bowling form and vocabulary while practicing with exciting games. This unit will culminate next week in a fun team bowling competition in each class. I'm really looking forward to seeing the pins fall.

Here's to a wonderful week!
