What’s Happening in
Mrs. Tomlinson’s PE Class
February 2020
Love was in the air this month in PE! The students started the month by playing a new tag game, Shadow Tag, to celebrate Groundhog Day. Then we finished up our Scooter Unit by playing Tow Rope Tag, Partner Protector, and Limo Tag. All these scooters games required team work. Students had to work together to protect their cone in Partner Protector. One student played defense by guarding the cone and the other student had to drive their scooter and throw a ball to try and knock down other team’s cones! They also celebrated 100 days of school by completing 100 exercises! During the week of Valentine’s Day, they played Valentine’s Day Fitness Tag and Love Birds Tag. During Valentine’s Day Fitness Tag the students practiced their jumping jacks, push-ups, and sit ups. The month ended with the students being introduced to volleying skills. They practiced these skills using balloons in games like Up, Up, and Away, Balloon Bop, Switch It Up, and Volley Tag. The students also participated in a Volley Obstacle Course. They had to volley their balloon through a course that included hurdles, hoops, archways, and agility ladders. In March the students will start to work on their racket skills.
