Dance and Gymnastics Next Year

The athletic department of Archway Arete is happy to introduce dance and gymnastics into our curriculum next year.  Coach Steinman and I are developing a curriculum that aligns properly with the classical education.

Gymnastics will also be incorporated into our curriculum next year.  We are proud to be able to purchase some wedges for next year and foam cylinders for back springs. This will be a great unit, and I look forward to teaching this next year!

Football

During our unit of football we have learned how to throw properly.  We have learned four different positions such as the center, quarterback, wide receiver and running back.  We have learned how to snap the ball properly and kick a field goal.  Next week we will run two hand touch scrimmage and I will be making teams.  The kids are having a blast with football and they have absorbed so much!

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!!
