It has been an exciting month in the gym. Students in grades K-2 have been learning and practicing scooter safety. During our scooter activities, students had the opportunity to build some very creative pathways and obstacles. It’s always enjoyable to watch students work together to create and build the scooter courses and they have a great time with this lesson. Over the next few weeks, these students will move on to some manipulative skills practice, which will include: balloons, bean bags, hula hoops, and scarves.

Students in grades 3-6 have been working on volleying and have played some small-sided volleyball games using a beach ball. These students have also learned how to play a new game called Nitroball. Nitroball is an inverted form of volleyball. It’s more like a combination of volleyball and four square because the ball has to bounce after every hit. The students have really enjoyed learning how to play this new game. Intermediate grades will move on to floor hockey and basketball activities over the next few weeks.
