Week one of school was a success. The students were excited to be back in the gymnasium. Other than my little fall on the clean floor, week one went off with out a hitch. The students enjoyed the locomotor challenges and exploring ways to create and close space in the gym.
This week in Physical Education I will be targeting Ohio PE Standards 5 and 6 related to personal and social responsibility and the value of physical activity. I chose to use pool noodle games to teach these concepts. I am adapting my lessons from ideas described in the book
Chicken and Noodle Games 141 Fun Activities With Innovative Equipment. The games will invite the students to use skills related to throwing and catching, cooperation, conflict resolution, problem solving and social interaction.
