Throwing and Growing

Hey Wildcats!

      For the past two weeks in PE, we have been working on throwing and catching. We utilized a variety of equipment, including footballs, yarn balls, playground balls, and gatorballs. We played several different games - which one was your favorite?  These games and equipment allowed us to focus on different aspects of the throw and catch. What were the cues for throwing? What were the cues for catching?

      Last Wednesday was Walk and Bike to School Day! Wilson has MANY students who choose to walk or bike to school everyday. This is a great way to incorporate small bouts of physical activity into your daily routine. If you live within a mile of Wilson, make a goal to walk to school at least two days a week. This small change helps your body as well as our environment!

     More physical activity not only improves our physical health, but it also promotes academic achievement. Check out this article to learn more -
