What's happening in Physical Education?
Week of February 22, 2021
Hard to believe that March is around the corner! We are finishing our Unit on Basketball much to the dismay of many who adore this game:) Within the confines of COVID precautions we focused mainly on the skills of dribbling, passing and shooting. Favorite games included Graduation, Seven Baskets and Champion Ball.
It's time to move forward to our Ball Throwing Unit ( one of my personal favorites).
Week of March 8
Our favorite ball throwing unit is underway! This week our games included Aerobic Bowling Bingo, Ball Pin Knockdown and the incredible VOLCANO which never fails to leave the youngest learners energized and very sweaty!
Week of March 15
Get out your lightsabers and ready yourself for a game of Star Wars tag! Clean your Backyard was also a fan favorite this week. We also enjoyed celebrating St. Patrick's Day with our Leprehaun Game.
Week of March 22
This week we celebrated Easter with our annual Easter Egg Hunt with the Preschool and Kindergarten Classes. How Eggciting!!! Our First Grade had a blast playing our ball throwing activities. We learned that we can have fun and win without BRAGGING. After all,
" t's just a game". A brand new "Tic Tac Toe" game captured the enthusiasm of the upper school as teams competed in a running game to be the first to get 3 in a row! -
KEEPING KIDS SAFE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION ( adapted from the S & S Blog)
SPACE
Selecting and preparing the instructional space for every student will allow for appropriate social distancing.The best planning will make things safer, so students know what to do and can continue to find PE as the fun and educational class it was before pandemic.
EQUIPMENT
Limiting equipment usage as much as possible, and when it is used, using disinfectant to keep germs at bay.
RESILIENCY
PE teaches the important values of teamwork, cooperation, and problem-solving. Using this pandemic to teach resiliency is so important as we show our students how to overcome adversity and the hurdles in life with optimism and enthusiasm.

Medical Conditions
For children who have medical conditions (asthma, bee sting allergies, Diabetes etc.) or any physical limitations (fractures, breaks, strains, etc.) that need to be considered for Physical Education please copy and fill out the Physical Education Medical Alert form located on the School Forms page and return it to Mrs. Wallace immediately. Since PE class may also take place at Dermond Field it is impotant to know if there are medications that should accompany a student (Inhalers, Epi-Pens, etc.). There is no need to return a form unless a need is listed. Please note that this form is different from the emergency forms kept on record with the school.
