Bowling Has Begun

This week we started our bowling unit. Here the students learn all about rich history of this lifetime activity. Did you know that bowling dates back 7000 year ago! During this time the students work on their bowling skills, communication skills, and ability to set the pins up in different patterns. They also work on their math skills when we do scoring the second and third classes. However, this year we will be doing the scoring electronically. The children will post their scores on the computer and have it projected up on the wall in the gym! We will have our very own Maple Lanes here at school!

Basketball

We have moved on from soccer and into our basketball unit. This unit is set-up very similar to the soccer unit, in that they will build their skills from week to week. The first class we focus on dribbling the entire time. During this time they work on both hands, as well as the v-dribble (crossover). The second week they work on dribbling, but the focus is on passing. During this time we play an exciting activity called "Mario". The third and final week of the unit focuses on shooting, but incorporates dribbling and passing! This fast paced unit will take us up to our Thanksgiving break, which I can't believe is here already!
