Chasing, Dodging and Fleeing



Our Daily Message with Learning Target

 

Toilet Tag "Whoosh"

 This week, we started the unit Chasing, Dodging, and Fleeing.  Our learning target was to be able to move around the gym safely by seeing everyone around us, stopping our feet, and changing direction to avoid accidents and being tagged. We did a variety of activities to practice such as cat and mouse, dead bug tag, sharks and minnows, the great crossover, and toilet tag.  This unit teaches us to move quickly but also safely when playing games.

Eyes on me, body still, voice is off
This line earned a sticker!

Line Up in 10

At the end of class, it is important that we are ready for the hallway.  Everyday of Physical Education, classes can earn a sticker if they Line Up in 10 seconds.  To earn a sticker, students must have their feet on the black line, voice off, eyes on me, and any items they brought to class with them.  Once a class earns 10 stickers, they get to have a P.E. fun day and play a special activity.  So far we have many classes that have earned 1 or 2 stickers.  This task is much harder than it looks but I know we can do it!

Next week, we will finish up chasing, dodging, and fleeing and move into Space Awareness.  The unit focuses on moving in general and personal space as well as in a variety of pathways, speeds, levels, and directions.
