We will start off with games of cooperation, inclusion, communication and listening.
The focus of every class is to get the students to engage with different members of their group in a cooperative way. Good sportsmanship is a key component of this. Skills and basic rules of games are introduced to the youger grades Pre-K-3. As the grades get older the skills and rules become a bit more complex as does the intensity of the game or task given.
In February we do Jump Rope for Heart to beneift the American Heart Association.
We do do a small dance unit , nutrition for grade 2 , and in May is field day!
