We have officially kicked off our physical education classes. We are beginning the year with soccer. The students were able to dribble and trap the ball today. I also set up cones to practice ball control while weaving through and around each cone. I mentioned to sixth graders that this will be one of the many field events at the annual 44th annual 6th grade track meet in the spring.
We played a game called "Terminator" also known as "Dribble Knock-out". I just like to say "Terminator" like Arnold Schwarzeneger so that's what I call it. Nobody got it when I quoted "I'll be back...". I must be getting old and/or they must not be watching that kind of violent movie. The majority of students were asking to play again next class. That makes me smile! J
It was fun to watch some strategy and alliances being formed during the game. They were thinking about ways to keep themselves in the game. I enjoy watching their minds come up with creative strategies.
"Hasta la vista, baby" (imagine my great Arnold impression again)
