Our students are training for the Ancient Greek Olympics in PE.

They are working on their shot put, discus throw, long jump and baton relay race!

We are also in the middle of our flag football unit and working on kicking field goals this week!

Flag Football has begun!

Dear Chargers,

In P.E. we have begun our flag football unit!  The students are really excited and in our first lesson we learned how to catch and throw properly.

Throwing:

• Phalanges on the laces
• Thumb underneath the ball
• Pull the ball back behind your ear and point with elbow in the direction you want the ball to go in
• Release the ball not to high and not to low while snapping the wrist
• Step with opposite foot

Catching:

• Phalanges are spread apart with palm facing their partners
• If the ball will be received above the waste then you want your thumbs touching about your forehead.  
• If the ball will be received below the waste then palms face up with pinkies touching.

King of the Hill is always a game that we can do at the end of a throwing and catching skill day, and the kids love it!!!!

Running! And the FUN RUN!!!!

We have begun our running unit mixed with kickball.  The students are learning how to run with proper technique and are learning how to pace.

This is all in time for the FUN RUN!!!

Coach Rubino will be there, come on out and run with her!!!
