News from the gym:
As we head into the middle of September, it seems that the warm weather is behind us. The middle school physical education class just wrapped up our Volleyball unit along with finding time to get outside and enjoy the weather while doing our mile run and some cardio days around town. We will start to focus on units now that keep us inside like handball, floor hockey, and basketball. One other thing that is new for the students this year is article summaries. I wanted to find a way to implement reading and strategies into physical education without losing their participation. What the students are required to do is find two articles a month and write a 4-5 sentence summary of that article. Usually I will have one of them be on a unit that we are doing at the time and the other on a sport of their choosing. These are due at the end of the month and can be done any time before then.
