Bartlett Elementary School January 29th

This week the students are beginning their basketball unit.  This unit will consist of three classes that will teach some basic rules and history of the sport, along with some fundamental skills needed to participate in the game.  This week the classes will start off by learning about the history and basic rules of the game.  We will then participate in an activity that teaches the fundamentals of dribbling.  The students will be taught how to use the pads of their fingers to push the ball down and not slap at the ball.  The will practice dribbling with their dominant hand, their opposite hand, a v-dribble (crossover), and other fancy moves.  Should be a fun time!
