The first few weeks in physical education usually has an interesting mix of activities, especially when you are breaking in a new PE teacher.  There are introductions and names to learn. We take time to establish and reinforce classroom procedures and learn routines.  As a result, September can feel a bit mechanical at times.  Despite the process, we were able to get our feet wet by playing many fast-moving activities, team-building games, and soccer skills.

Specifically, the early elementary students explored their personal space by playing chase games named “Spiders and Flies” and the always popular, “TP Tag” while re-introducing themselves to the parachute and scooter boards. Meanwhile, the upper “el” captured the flag, played 4-team corner soccer and survived “Survivor”.
