Hello BLS Fam!
It was a great week back to school! This week we focused on our gym rules, being good sports and working with our teammates.
We focused on cooperative teamwork challenges this week.
Monday, we played a game called "Over and Under". It required not only teamwork but trust. Everyone was divided into teams and they had to jump over each other and roll the ball under each other while another person catches the ball.
Wednesday we played a familiar game called "Cross the River" which we played the second week of school. Teams worked together to use polyspots and yoga mats to not touch the gym floor. It required good communication with our teammates. We focused a lot on the words we use when someone on our team makes a mistake. Also, we worked on congratulating other teams when they won.
Friday, we played a game called "Pass the Chicken". Teams passed a plastic chicken around a circle using only hands. Then elbows, knees and feet. Ask your kids what level they successfully completed!
Our 5/6 & 7/8 got outside to play a fun game of sharks and minnows!
Next week on Wednesday we will start our Ninja/Gymnastics unit! Please make sure on our PE days (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) that everyone comes to school in comfortable clothing - shirts that can be tucked in and shorts under skirts. Thank you!
