Unit 9: Baseball/Kickball

Baseball/Kickball


For the next three weeks, scholars will be exploring either baseball or kickball. Kinders and First Graders will focus on kickball while Second Graders will learn baseball. We'll cover base running, fielding, throwing, and hitting/kicking. This culminates in class-size games of kickball or baseball. Scholars will also learn a fun variant called Wacky Baseball/Kickball.

In fitness, scholars will learn crab walks and no weight flies. The anatomical focus of these three weeks is the shoulder. We will also have a brief discussion on jumping and landing and the importance of doing both correctly to protect the ligaments and tendons in the knee.

Have a wonderful week!

Mr. Edmondson
