Welcome to Mrs. Wallace's Class!
I am looking forward to another exciting year with my students! I have been researching new games and
activities all throughout the summer and can't wait to experiment with them. I was able to take a Twitter course online this summer and it has become my best resource. I can chat with so many great educators and watch excellent videos while sharing ideas and asking questions!
Week #2: Two new games were introduced using the skills of hand striking in the upper grades: Strikerball and Tableball.Talk about taking it to the next level....these games were challenging. Strikerball placed 5-7 students in a circle with cones on either side of them as goals. The object of the game was to hit the ball through an opponent's goal! So fun to watch them play! Tableball is a new favorite as the ball is rolled across the table and you must allow it to bounce only once before hitting it back to your opponent... a third student is the referee and rotates in when someone makes an error on the serve, a double bounce or can't make a return!
The first week was adventurous! Since we have so many new students, I used two activities employing the game of ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS ( RPS). One was a partner game and the other was called RPS Showdown which used 6 teams who traveled along a hoola hoop path. When each student met an opponent, they did a "RPS" duel. The goal was to get to another team's bucket and award yourself with one of Mr. Wallace's coveted "TIES". SO FUN TO WATCH AND PLAY!
The Primary grades are working on the skills of jumping, hopping and leaping in the game of "Jump the Pond. WOO HOO! We are off to a great start. Rules are in place, squads all assigned.....Let's have some fun with the Sweatmaster!

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 gym 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.
