Welcome back, and Happy New Year! January marks a fresh start, and our PE classes are ready to kick off the year with a burst of energy and wellness. As we dive into 2024, let's focus on healthy habits and activities that will keep our students movin' and groovin'.
After some basic movement activities to get the students moving again, our PE classes will be focusing on Basketball skills, introducing the basics of this exciting sport. Here's a sneak peek at some age-appropriate activities:
*Dribble Tag: A playful twist on traditional tag, where students dribble basketballs instead of running. It's a fantastic way to improve ball control and agility.
*Shooting Stars/Around the World: Practicing shooting skills while reaching for the stars! The students will aim high as they take shots at different spots and hoop heights.
After some time on the court, we're moving on to Tumbling and Juggling, adding a touch of circus excitement to our PE adventures:
*Tumbling Mats: Students will explore basic tumbling skills on soft mats, promoting flexibility, coordination, and body awareness.
*Scarves and Bean Bag Juggling: Juggling helps improve hand-eye coordination. We'll start with scarves and bean bags, introducing the concept in a playful and developmentally appropriate manner.
Body Trivia: How many teeth do adults have? 32, which includes wisdom teeth
Let's have a great start to the New Year!
