Heat Wave

Summer has still been in full affect which has made it difficult for us to be outside for PE. The health of my students comes first and making sure they are safe, hydrated, and kept out of the blazing heat. We have modified our PE when we need to be inside and have been able to put together some fun activities for them. They really enjoy cup stacking and making giant towers. Some get to practice their ping pong skills while others work on soccer skills such as juggling or shooting in a goal.
         We have started our soccer unit and while we were indoors for most of last week, we incorporated soccer skills by playing a human football game inside which the students enjoyed playing. Despite the heat and being confined in a smaller space, the students did well in adapting to the circumstances.
       Last week we had a health lesson on nutrition and fitness. The students watched a video of the food pyramid and were asked to recreated the food plate giving examples of healthy options and non healthy options for each section. This project took 3 days and they all worked diligently to complete it.
     We are hoping for cooler days to come so we can continue with our PE units and continue to have active lives outside of the classroom!
