First Week of School

 

2nd Graders Learning about our 4, 3, 2, 1 Grading System

 What a great first week back to school!  It was so fun seeing familiar faces and meeting our new Kindergarten crew too.   This week we learned and practiced our daily warm up which includes jogging and practicing our locomotor movements.  On our listening circle we sat criss cross applesauce and discussed what Physical Education is and why it is important.  I was very impressed with our 1st and 2nd graders remembering how Physical Education keeps our bodies healthy by making our muscles and heart stronger.  Students also remembered many of the skills we learned last year and are excited to continue to improve and learn new things!

We also went over how grading works in Physical Education.  Each day a student walks into my gym with a number 4, the highest number that can be earned.  It is every student's goal to keep their number 4 until the end of class.  A student's number can go down based on behavior and reminders needed from the teacher.  Students are expected everyday to listen and follow directions, cooperate with others, wear tennis shoes, and always try their best.  We also hope to have a lot of fun too!
