Hedke P.E.: February 2014

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.
