Hedke P.E.: 2014

Friday, November 14, 2014

Hello parents and Hedke students!

I am finally posting for the 2014 school year. I want to fill you in on all the activities your student's have been working on this first quarter.

Unit one: Soccer we worked on skills and many reinforcement games. Line soccer is still one of their favorite maximum participation games.

Unit two: Football we worked on throwing, catching, and kicking, The hotdog bowl for my 3-5 graders is a blast. ( Who Let the Dogs Out? )

Unit three: Basketball we have just started with skills and will work toward games soon.

Everyday activities: Aerobic activity and fitness, Strength and flexibility stretches, discussion on best efforts, cooperation, responsibility, respect for others, and reminding them the benefits of physical activity.

Students have really enjoyed the Garden Heroes purchased this year. Many students have told me about many new healthy fruits and vegetables they have tried, Keep up the good work.

The Hedke fitness testing will take place throughout the year. The students will pre-test and post-test each fitness test. The tests include: mile run, curl-ups, shuttle run, push-ups/ pull-ups, v-sit reach. The 3-5 graders participate in these tests. The k-2 students will practice these tests for the future.

Thanks for checking in with the Physical Education program.

Did they they like the rock wall? Let me know.

Happy Thanksgiving! Go Lions!

Year end Report

                                    Final Notes for the Year.

As I write this I realize I will only see your child four more times this year. I want to let you know that the student body at Hedke has shown growth not only in skills, but in their knowledge about the benefits of physical activity.

     The Hedke students cooperate and show compassion for others, and that always makes for a productive class. I hope they continue to work on fitness throughout the summer, and remember exercise is medicine.

    Some highlights that have gone on this year beside our regular lessons are:

     Running club in the morning. ( weather was not very cooperative, but Mr. Porecca and staff were, letting us have the hallways, way to go team Hedke )

    A.C.E.S.   May 7 It was great fun !   Just Ask !

     Student Teacher Sarah Bartok from the Concordia University Ann Arbor. She did an excellent job the three days she was with us.

MARCH INTO SPRING!

The classes have just completed their volleyball unit.

They have also had a short tennis unit.

The skills emphasized were:

- forehand

-gallop

-set

-bump

-serve

The strengthening continues through newly introduced stretches, such as quad stretch, lying back stretch, modified push-ups, abdominal crunches, and lower back reach leg lifts.

Fitness has moved up to six minutes of sustain exercise, with lots of reinforcement games. The snowball fight was fun!

Our discussion on the Benefits of Physical Education has continued. We reviewed the heart function. New discussions about lung function, and temperature and activity. One student commented on the fact that this is not science class. He is still running I think.

Have a great March!

" In like a Lion out like a Lamb! "

I Hope!

Enjoy these volleyball pictures of some very talented teams.
