Physical Education Chatter!

Dinner table talk is important to allow children an opportunity to talk about themselves and their days experiences and for parents to find out just how their child's day went....good and bad!

So, here are some topics to help your child to chat about their day in P.E.

This past week we climbed the cargo net (safety, safety, safety), swing on the rope (fun, fun, fun)and played games. The class games in grades 2 & 3, were: scooter hockey & toxic ball and for grades K & 1 we used the hula hoops, ball shooting, and played Eagles and Vulture tag as well as GO CELTICS tag, using math questions or rock, paper, scissor to get back into the game!

Ask your child which game they participated in and about the games. Ask how they did during the activity, was the activity hard for them? Did they see good sportsmanship (any arguing, unfair play etc)? Ask how they think they did in the game or were they afraid of climbing the cargo net? Did they get to be on their friends team? Did they learn a new skill or did they get to practice an old skill! Did they have fun?

This week we start bowling!!! In this unit, the children will learn to keep score using their math skills and will learn proper bowling technique which will start their foundation for a life long skill!

Talking about your child's day helps them to feel valued and make them feel important!!!
