PE February

We are focusing on Badminton and Basketball for the month of February. 5th - 8th grade are reviewing skills and rules while preparing for a Basketball and Badminton Tournament. 1st - 4th grade will be learning and practicing their Badminton serves and return skills. 3rd and 4th grade will work up to learning how to keep score and will play small games. Kindergarten will use paddles to practice passing a balloon back and forth with a partner. This is a great hand-eye coordination activity along with learning how to take turns. The paddle and balloons are a lead up activity to badminton. Next year in 1st grade the students will replace the balloon with a birdie. Below are some pictures of students practicing their serves and returns. Also, you will find a picture of a student helping another student with a new skill.
