We wrapped up our basketball unit this week and started a volleyball unit. With one lesson in the books, we made huge strides in our forearm passing. The use of balloons as volleyballs allowed us to focus on our form, as it really slows down the movement.
Wildcats - I was so impressed with your ability to focus even with a fun toy right at your fingertips :) The critical elements we discussed and and worked on were 1) thumbs parallel with hands together 2) arms straight with no swing 3) push the ball to the target using the legs.
Here are some of our third grader students showcasing their skills...
We also did a 5 minute preview of the Fun Run, so that students knew what to expect next week. Our goal is just to keep moving our bodies the entire time! Don't forget to send your Wildcat with good shoes for moving and some water. Thanks!
Have a great weekend!
