PE Update

We've been really busy in the gym the last 6 weeks!  We had a new exercise routine called "Jump Bands" that had the students following a jumping course for their cardiovascular exercise and performing their core muscle exercises. 

Our lesson focus was low level gymnastics.  The first week students were introduced to some basic tumbling and balancing skills.  From there each week we added a new piece of gymnastic equipment to use.  Students were able to try their skills on the inclined mat, a low level balance beam and a training vault.  Gymnastic skills seemed to be a hit with novices and "old pros".

Our games this month included "Across the Pond" and "In the Pond"

This last week before vacation sees us exercising and then having some fun for all the hard work we've done since last vacation!

Enjoy the spring weather,

Physical Education for February 2013

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

We've been really busy in the gym this month.  Listed below are the 3 parts of our PE class and what we've been doing during them.  I tend to leave it vague in the hope that it will create a conversation at the supper table.  Please ask your student "What's going on it PE?"

Exercise Routine:  6lb Bars
Lesson Focus:       Skills with Scoops
Game Time:          Criss Cross


I'm really excited that our students have been out on Tuesdays enjoying winter sports.  Hopefully each student will find a winter activity to stick with for life long exercise!


Please feel free to contact me with questions and concerns
