We are gearing up for March Madness in PE!! Each class in grades 3-5 have been split into teams. We’ve talked about different skills and drills associated with the game of basketball.

The last couple of weeks in PE have been spent learning how to play floor hockey and using our new scooters!! Grades 3-5 have learned about the game of floor hockey, its rules, and its origins. Each grade has gotten to battle it out against their classmates in some friendly competitions! This game is always a class favorite! 

We were gifted some newer, safer scooters from the ESC building and the kids LOVE them! Such a fun way to move our bodies and explore our limitations! These will be enjoyed for years to come!
