January 3rd-7th Welcome Back!

Welcome back, as we ease back into our school routine we are re-visiting our Bucket Filling Strategies to build a healthy happy school community. We start each class with a short run then read 3 chapters (a small paragraph each) from Growing Up With a Bucket Full of Happiness: Three Rules for a Happier Life. We share ideas and connections from the book that we can use at school then we PLAY!

This week we are working/playing on/with Gymnastics!

This is not gymnastics like one would assume... through Dynamic Physical Educations Guide: Lesson Plans for Implementation by Robert Pangrazi, our focus is on balance, through all kinds of fun animal movements and games.



Happy New Year

Rainy Day Activities

Table Top Football Also known as “paper football,” table top football only requires a single sheet of plain paper and a cleared off kitchen table. The game requires a paper football folded into a triangle shape–see instructions in the resource link below–and two players sitting across the table from one another.
The game begins by one player laying the ball on its side in front of him on the table and flicking it toward the other player. This is where the player begins his set of downs. The player has four flicks of the ball to try and get the paper football to overhang the opponent’s edge of the table partially without falling off. If the player fails, the opponent takes over and tries to do the same. If he succeeds, then he scored six points and tries for an extra point by standing the ball on it’s point and thumping it through uprights made by the opponents fingers.

If one player slides the ball off the table, the other takes over. If this happens three times in a game, the opponent gets to try for a three-point field goal. Games are typically played to 35.

How To Make A Paper Football

Week 14 Dec 6th-10th Long Ropes

Jumping rope is synonymous with rhythmic movement. To be successful at jumping the long rope you need to be able to keep a rhythm. The success of the jumper is also dependant on the rope turners' rhythm. All three need to work as a team. The more you expose yourself to the long rope the better you get and the less intimidating it is. Jumping rope is great exercise and something kids can do with friends and family!! Jump Ropes are GREAT holiday gifts too ... they are small, Inexpensive and gender/age neutral! Happy Jumping!


Suggestions


Have the turners stand so the rope the length of an already established line (tape works great) also Tie a knot at the center of the rope marking the spot that touches the ground, emphasize staying in that spot as you jump or run in.
