Week #3

This week the 2nd/3rd graders enjoyed the wonderful weather and did activities with foxtails. We use foxtails to work on throwing and catching. A foxtail has a ball on the end and a long tail that you use to swing and throw to your partner. You are to catch the foxtail by the tail to earn points. The closer you catch to the ball the more points you get. I had each group add up there points. One student said to me "Hey, we are doing some math today"! Check out this video of our students using the foxtails!

Kindergarten and 1st grade students also worked on throwing skills this week. We focused on underhand throwing. This video shows our Kindergarten students working with a classmate to earn points by underhand throwing a beanbag into a hoop.
