P.E. Class this week September 2 to September 6, 2012

Welcome to another fun year at Discovery School, we are ready to begin the activities and have fun in the process.

I would like to remind parents to send your children dressed in an appropriate way for the days that they have P.E. class:

-  No dresses for the girls

-  No jeans

-  No crocks

-  No sandals

-  No boots

Children who are not wearing the appropriate clothing will not be allowed to participate in P.E. class.

P.E. Class this week

Pre Kinder

The students are going to work in activities to reinforce what they are learning in class such as the colors and shapes.

Kindergarten

We are working on strengthening the concept of colors and shapes with games such as “color races”. We are also going to play balance games.

First Grade

We are going to work on to following instructions, doing the proper warm-ups, and participating in games that strengthen aerobic capabilities.

Second Grade

Besides working on following instructions, we will be strengthening laterality (i.e. right and left, around, through it).

Third Grade

We will continue to work on the appropriate ways to warm up. Each student will have the opportunity to contribute with an exercise. We will also be working on follow instructions with games and directions given to the students, and participating in speed and strategy games. 

Fourth Grade

This week we will continue addressing the physical bases of the body conducting and assessments in speed, jumping, strength, and endurance. These assessments establish a starting point to determine the physical capabilities of each student.

Fifth Grade

This week will continue to learn about the physical condition of each student. Each student will be encouraged to put forth his or her best effort in a battery of standardized tests, each task focusing on a different physical element of their basic skills.
