Tennis Anyone

Students from Kindergarten to Fifth grade have been involved in various tennis drills and practices.
The objective is to show and demonstrate additional skills
that require eye and hand coordination, mental concentration,
ball manipulation and individual determination to achieve
specific goals.

Specific Goals:
Kindergarten to Second
The students will be able to:
1. Bounce and catch tennis balls
2. Dribble tennis balls
3. Alternate hand dribbling, transitioning from
right hand to left hand.
4. Dribble twice then shoot into basket.
5. Dribble and bounce on tennis racket strings.
6. Interpret the parts of the tennis racket.
This seems like alot of information, but working with
students, transitioning from one skill to another there
is dialogue about each skill.

Third to Fifth
Basically the same procedure, but with more emphasis on
racket and ball manipulation.
Tennis being more of an individual sport allows students
to learn about their own potential to play non-traditional
sports.

First Week of Physical Education

The first week of Physical Education went very well. The students were very excited and hyped to come to PE.

The games played for K, 1st, and 2nd were Cars (a racing game) and ball skills with tennis balls.

The games played with third, fourth, fifth were the favorites at this grade level, Kickball and Dodgeball.
The third, fourth, and fifth grade students had excellent games, displayed sportsmanship and I compliment the young ladies for showing great pose, team work and confidence in their skills..

Parents please reinforce self confidence in the young ladies. It may not seem there is a lack of self confidence, but at this age/grade many young ladies have a tendency to doubt their abilities.
This is also displayed academically, young ladies seem to need more reinforcement not less.
