Bk-2nd Grade
Students in grades Bk-2nd will be focusing on many different skills throughout the month of October. We started off the month with a focus on underhand throwing, two hand catching and accuracy. The remainder of the month will have a focus on: balance and agility, personal space and the beginning basics of tumbling, rolling and supporting body weight to build muscle.

October
Grades 3-5
For the month of October (up to October 16th) students will continue with sideline soccer games. Starting October 20th students will learn about the term physical activity (moderate to intense), why it is so important, why guidelines suggest students should stay active for 60 minutes a day (minimum) and we will begin to talk about the 5 components of fitness (muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and body composition). Also starting in late October, we will begin our second unit which will be football. Our football unit is very basic, with a large emphasis on skill development as opposed to game play. Skills covered include: throwing, catching (stationary and on the move), punting and snapping.

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!!!
Grades Bk-2 (month of September and early October)
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!!!
