Kindergarten, First and Second grades began class working individually with different pieces of equipment. Students were encouraged to find new ways of using the equipment. Creativity was key! Throughout the lesson, students found out all sorts of new ways to move their bodies in personal space. Some movements included bending, twisting, stretching, and curling. Cardinal directions were learned and students moved throughout the gym in these directions using locomotor skills on cue. My favorite part of class was guessing the letter the students were forming with their body. Eventually students needed to work together in groups, small and large, to form their letter of choice. Class ended with a round of "Tommy and Tammi Tucker."
Third, Fourth and Fifth grades finished up their basketball unit participating in a ladder tournament of ZAP. During this, students were being pulled out to work on their fitness test- curl up and push up form with me.
Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth grades participated in a March Madness style basketball tournament to finish up their basketball unit. Students took on NCAA team names and competed against other teams trying to work their way to the top. The final four teams were announced.
