A Note from Mrs. Knost:
Kindergarten PE is off to a great start! It’s hard to believe we finished the first quarter of school already. The students have learned classroom procedures and expectations and seem to be enjoying learning new activities and exercises.
The first quarter we talk a lot about ‘bubble space’ (personal space) and practice keeping it as we move in class. They use it while running laps, practicing locomotor skills, and doing creative movements while moving where they choose. After they mastered keeping bubble space, we began playing the PE favorite - tag. Some of the fun tag games we’ve played this quarter are: Here comes the Fox, tunnel tag, toilet tag, hot dog tag, banana tag, and clothespin tag. They’ve also worked on tempo and moving at different speeds. Using this, they are working on endurance in running laps for warm up, by saving their ‘fast for last’.
They have also learned many jumping exercises: straddle jumps, ski jumps, scissor jumps, and jumping jacks.
Some strengthening exercises they’ve learned and will revisit throughout the year are: sit-ups, floor touches, shoulder touches, burpees, mountain climbers, plank jacks, side pushups, and leg lifts.
They spent some days working on rolling ball skills and had a fun bowling station day. We also worked on kicking and some soccer skills. Some other fun activities they have played are: Beat the Ball, Rock Paper Scissors laps, Race to the cone, and Leaping lily pads.
The second quarter will focus on hand eye coordination with balloons and balls. We will work on striking, catching, and some basketball skills. I also have some Holiday themed activities planned.
I am enjoying getting to know your beautiful children! If you have any questions, or your student needs to be dismissed from PE for any reason, please reach out to me at nknost@ccls-stlouis.org.
