November Update

Students in all grades have been participating in volleyball skills during the month of November.  In grades K-2 we have practiced the forearm pass, overhead pass, and the serve using balloons.  We also used the balloons to explore other ways to keep them in the air using various parts of our bodies.  These activities were done individually and also with a partner.

In grades 3-5 we practiced our volleyball skills using our oversized volleyballs.  If you have not seen these they are lighter and bigger than a normal sized volleyball eliminating the fear of the ball.  We also used our airlights to play our games.  These are geometric shapes made of parachute fabric that are then inflated.  These airlights are one of our students' favorite activities.  They are extremely large and float slowly.  Be sure to ask you kids about them.

Along, with our volleyball work, we have also played many holiday games.  A little preview for December will be more holiday/winter games, fitness testing, and beginning to work on basketball skills.  We hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
