Physical Education Coach Lopez Grades Pre-K -8 This month was an exciting month for us. We worked on our skills in baseball, basketball, and soccer! From pitching to dribbling the ball, the kids were hard at work fine tuning the skills they already have. The goal for this month is ensuring the children are efficient with their fine motor skills. With these developing abilities it allows for an increase of independence from opening doors efficiently, brushing teeth, washing hands, and quickly gathering items to carry when in a rush. The hand eye coordination that is developed along with these tasks open new doors in exploration, learning, and creative expression. The actual spotlight activity this time around was object manipulation and control. The students were asked to create items with the object given to them to become proficient in the time that it takes to complete something asked of them. A simple task that was enjoyed by all levels alike. I do have to admit the PreK and Kindergarten gave the older kids a run for their money. Something to look forward for next month is personal fitness! meaning your children should come equipped with their water bottles and proper running shoes every Monday and Wednesday. On that note I would also like to mention if a child is hurt or feeling ill for the days of P.E please send a note with the children to turn in, it would greatly be appreciated. 17
