HomeMrs. Cordis : Class Notes
Elementary Gym:
April 2012
This month we are doing track and field. Most days we are outside. Some field events we will try like high jump, long jump and triple jump. Others we will just quickly observe on a video/DVD, like hammer and javelin. For track events we will cover relay races, sprints, hurdles, middle distance and long distance. We continue to focus on team concepts. One key concept is to put others before yourself. Working on a team gives students a chance to put this into practice. One thing I appreciate about track & field is that children are often surprised by strengths they didn’t know they had.
Last month we did Volleyball using a real net. For the most part, we used beach balls. It was a very enjoyable unit.
Next month, May, we will be doing both kick ball and wiffle ball.
PE offers many opportunities to work out conflicts, forgive and encourage. Your children are growing in wisdom, in stature and in favor with God and man.
