PE in December

Welcome to PE in December. This month we are working on balancing with our Pre K and Kinder classes. We are also continuing Basketball with 3rd grade on up, along with Self-Defense with our 7th/8th graders. Pictured below are some students practicing balance by walking heel-to-toe. It’s still common for some students to still have trouble with this concept. As you will notice, some students are actually stepping on their feet trying to walk heel-to-toe. Also pictured below are some of our Kinders working on their core strength and balance by spinning on their scooters. For our 5th and 6th graders, they were using scooters to play a game that involved their leg muscles, core muscles, strategy, teamwork, and communication. For our 7th and 8th grade class, the students are starting to learn more about kicks in their Martial Arts class. They are learning how to strike, how to evade, how to advance, and how to strike and evade. I don’t think it is ever too early to learn how to defend yourself. I hope you enjoy the pictures, come back soon to see what we are up to!
