KNOCKOUT!

       Finishing up our rolling skills, the students played one of my favorite games which is called Knockout! 

      Students are split into two teams with pins on the end line of each side. Your job as a team is to knock down all of the other teams pins by rolling your ball to the other side of the gym.  You can not cross the center line of the gym and you can not throw the ball. If your own teammate accidently knocks down a pin, it has to stay down!                             Needless to say the students wanted to play this game on the next day too :)

        

Here are a few more snapshots of students practicing their rolling skills.

Rolling

We've been rolling like crazy around 
here at Chatfield! The students just finished up their rolling unit and we played a variety of games to help us with our rolling skills. 

To help us with our arm swing we use the cues- TICK, TOCK. The students did a great job stepping with their opposite foot and had a blast playing shrinking goal. Object is to roll your ball through the goal,  you make it, your partner will make the goal smaller.

BONES, BONES, BONES

Today for Fitness Friday we found where our lower body bones are located, the names of our bones and how we can keep our bones healthy. The students decided to keep our bones healthy we need to exercise or stay active, eat healthy and wear a helmet when we ride our bikes or scooters. 

We located our-

Ribs

Hips

Femur

Tibia

Fibula

Phalanges-fingers and toes

See if your child can recite the "Bone Bounce" with all of the bones!

Putting together the skeleton puzzle and trying to name bones at the same time!

Resistance Band fun! Making our bones STRONG AND HEALTHY.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This week for Halloween Ms. Earney and I decorated the gym with fun Halloween Stations for the kiddos to explore. We had 6 stations that the students would go to with spiders, spooky words, potions, creatures and so much more! The students loved the lights, fog machine, strobe light, balloons, spiders that we had waiting for them and I'm pretty sure they wanted to do the stations again today!
