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

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

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

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.
