The 2008-2009 school year is underway as the students and I are learning a lot from each other.  PreK through 2nd grade are learning to find open space in an area while moving around the gym.  They are also working on throwing and catching to themselves and with a partner.  The 1st and 2nd grades have also been working on throwing the ball with a partner while moving down the floor.  For grades 3 through 8, I start off class with a critical thinking exercise, friendly relay race, or a quick cardio working (i.e. jump rope).  We then move right into a skill such as how to move on your hands and feet like in crab soccer or the proper way to move on a scooter.  The end of each class is where the classes play a game such as crab soccer or scooter baseball (game depends on the skill that we learned in class).  My main goal for the year is for the children to have fun in class and want to come every week because I know I really enjoy being there!!!
