During PE last week 4th and 5th grade worked on overhand throwing. We broke the motion down into four skill cues. Those four cues were side to target, point to target, elbow up, and follow through. After making sure the students knew the four things I was looking for we practiced throwing to a partner using a variety of objects. Students were able to choose from footballs, rubber chickens, foam hot potatoes, and tennis balls to name a few. Every two minutes we switched objects and continued to practice. Next week we will play a class overhand throwing game called Endline Ball.
Students also watched a BrainPop about the cardiovascular system. After the video we answered the questions 1- What body system moves blood throughout your body? 2- Blood carries ________ and ________ to your cells. Test your child and see if they still remember the answers.
