PE--On the move!



The girls are having a great time in PE.  They began the year learning how to move safely and in different ways.  During many classes, the girls play tagging and partner games while performing a variety of loco motor movements.  In September, the girls enjoyed our parachute unit. The girls worked cooperatively, using their upper body strength, to lift and move the parachute. 


In the past couple of weeks, the girls have been working on balances and spatial awareness.  They have balanced on different body parts and with bean bags.  They learned how to hold a balance on one foot and to make different shapes with their bodies.  Recently, the girls have been working with hula hoops, balancing in them, jumping in and through them, and moving the hula hoops around their bodies
