Finishing Basketball

In PE we are in the middle of our basketball tournament.  The children love shooting hoops and playing in a real scrimmage!  They are getting excited for basketball to start after school on Thursdays!

Basketball

We have begun our basketball unit.  Today we are working on bounce passing, chest passing, rainbow throw and baseball throw.  We will finish off the week with dribbling exercises.  My students are having a blast!

Handball!

We have begun a new unit of handball.  The students are working really hard at dribbling the ball and defending.  They have learned all of the positions and are working hard at defense, offense and midfield.  Also, goalkeeping has been exceptional.  The kids are having a lot of fun in handball and are getting a great workout from it!!

Soccer

Our students have done a 4 week unit on soccer.  The students have learned all the fundamental skills involved in this sport.  They have learned how to kick the ball properly with their instep.  They have learned how to trap a ball with all different body parts.  They have learned positions in soccer and have already played a soccer tournament.  The children loved when I brought the cage ball out for crab soccer.  That was one our favorite and most joyful lessons this year!  I will incorporate it more!

Our next sport will be handball!  We will start next week!

Go Chargers!!!

Volleyball!!

We have begun our Volleyball Unit and our students have made a lot of progress with their bumping, setting and spiking.  Next week we will learn how to spike the ball and at the end of our unit we will play a real game after we have learned all the rules of the game!  They are also learning how scoring works.

Every day we work on our Anatomy and virtues.  Their sportsmanship has really become something spectacular to watch every single day.  We have AMAZING students!!!

Always remember to have your child dress appropriately for my class.  It is so important that they wear appropriate athletic for their own safety and because their little bodies need the support on their growing bones.  Please have them wear athletic shoes the days of P.E.

Thank you,

Coach Rubino
