What movement skills will my child be working on?

Grades 3-5 (month of September and early October)
Students in grades 3-5 will be working on various soccer skills throughout the next two weeks. Skills covered will include foot dribbling, push passing, shoe lace (instep) kicking, trapping, stealing and protecting and goal tending. After two weeks of skill work students will then cover the rules and positions to soccer and on the third week of our unit students will be playing full (sideline) soccer games). Students in grades 3-5 will have 3 weeks of soccer games. Please remind your child to practice these skills at home so that they will feel better prepared for our games in the coming weeks!!!

Students in Grades Bk-2nd will be working on various different skill sets throughout the next month. Skills covered will include: personal space, general space, locomotor movements (skip, gallop, side slide, walk speed walk, jog and run) and relationships (examples: under/ over, alongside, follow, mirroring, narrow, wide etc...). The start of our year is when we set the foundation for various skills, safety, responsibility and respect. Please encourage your child to practice and share their newly acquired skills at home throughout the school year!!!
