Sixth grade will continue basketball skill development – passing. Chest pass, bounce pass and overhead pass will be emphasized. Learning to “pass fake” will help beginners in successfully completing their passes.
Seventh and eighth grade will continue in-school league play.
Team 7B kicked-off the new school-wide fitness program – Mileage Club, last week and will submit their Log Sheets today, and I will calculate and post scores later this week. Team 7A, will begin their journey beginning this morning. Good Luck!
Continuing our Basketball unit, sixth grade students will review Triple Threat position, Jump Stop, and Pivot, plus, introduction of the Control Dribble. Seventh and Eighth grade students, participating in basketball will begin in-class league play. Students participating in our “Log It” walking program will begin walking.
Physical activity for all children is important. We are, therefore, implementing a school-wide walking program called the Mileage Club.
The Mileage Club provides opportunity for all children, grades 6 to 8, to walk for fitness. The Mileage Club will be held during the second semester of the school year. This week long (Monday-Sunday) program will require each Homeroom; Students and Instructor, plus selected Staff members to wear a pedometer throughout the day, accumulating steps. At the end of every day, each participant will write down on their Weekly Walking Log the steps they have walked. On the following Monday, Students, Instructor and Staff members participating will return their pedometers and Weekly Walking Logs.
Team 7B will be starting off our Mileage Club program. Good Luck! and have fun.
This week we are beginning our Unit in Basketball, with an alternate activity of Walking “Log It.”. Sixth grade students will be taught the following skills: Triple threat position, Jump stop, Pivot and dribbling. Our seventh and eighth grade students will select one of the activities, Basketball or Walking. Basketball will select teams, and thus schedule may be determined. Walking students will register with our online program, “Log It” and begin their walking program wearing pedometers.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!… All classes are reviewing our Introduction to Physical Education (Policies and Procedures) and begin participating in physical exercise. We are also introducing a new unit this week, “How You Can Be Prepared for a Flu Pandemic.”
