Catching with a partner

Students were to use a locomotor movement with their partner when the music was playing. When the music stops, the students find a hula hoop play catch with the ball. They tried to get at least 20 catches in before the music started again.

DON'T FORGET TO WEAR TENNIS SHOES!

With the snow and slush among us please don't forget to wear tennis shoes for 

Physical Education class! 

It makes it really tricky to jog and move when you have boots on. 

Catching like Crazy

The week we started our unit on Catching. We have learned to throw and toss, now we need to learn how to catch. The cues we use for catching are:

Watch object with eyes (it's our prize)

Move feet to object

Catch with sandwich hands

Here are some pictures of the students practice a self toss and catch. After they could self catch a few times in a row we tried some tricks to go along with it. Students tried to see how many claps they could get before they catch the self tossed bean-bag. I believe the record was 8 claps. They were also trying to clap in front and in back of their body before they catch the bean bag or scarf.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU to the Belle Plaine PTO for the purchase of 6 new scooters and rolling rack to hold the P.E scooters! Ms. Earney and I are extremely excited to have more and so are the students. Great things happening here at Chatfield Elementary ;)

AWESOME!

Throwing

To continue with our throwing unit this week we played one of my favorite games, Gary's Garabage Can! Students are outside of the garbage can throwing "garbage" into the can. Students inside the garbage can are trying to throw the garbage out! It is a fun and tiring game for the kiddos and they love watching the balls fly all over the gym and into the garbage can. Needless to say I got hit about 20 times yesterday but totally worth it. :)

DONT FORGET!

Don't forget Chatfield Parent Teacher Conferences-

TURKEY TROT SUCCESS!

On Monday November 25th we held our 1st Annual Turkey Trot. The students did a fantastic job walking, jogging and running during their Physical Education class time.

We are very proud of the students for also donating 150lbs. of food to the Belle Plaine Food Shelf. What a great way to kick off the holiday season. Thanks to all who participated, came to cheer on the students or donated food!
