A bit of a transition week in classes last week. We are slowly moving away from rolling activities and moving into throwing/catching activities. We are also starting to add in some holiday-themed activities now that we are making out way into December.
Students had one last crack at gym curling last week. It’s definitely been nice having the equipment here and we hope that we’ve encouraged some students to check out real curling in the future.
We played quite a few throwing and catching games last week. We played Slam Ball (a lead up activity to Spike Ball). Swam Ball, and even just gave the students a chance to play “catch”. It’s nice to take time to just throw and catch a ball, frisbee, foxtail, whatever…without the stress of a game situation. These are two skills that many of our students find challenging. Playing catch will definitely help your child become a more proficient thrower and catcher…if you have a chance over the holiday break grab a ball, a toy, a balled up sock, whatever you can find and try throwing/catching with you child. Even a few minutes of practice can make a world of difference.
Our team handball teams both played their final games last week. Thanks to M. Koester for handling all the coaching duties this year, since I was away on leave. Our teams will have one more chance to play at our district #3 friendship tournament on the afternoon of December 8th. The Boys will be playing at ÉRB and the girls at Sansome School. Hope to see you out to cheer on our players!
