We will cover individual skills and fundamentals, as well as teamwork, good sportsmanship, and games. Here is a breakdown of skills for each sport. Basketball we will dribble, pass, shoot, and learn offense/defense through drills, competitive fun games, and scrimmages. Kickball is learning the power to kick, catch, run, and throw. Capture the flag is all about learning many strategies for winning the game. There is another similar game called gladiator ball we will change out from time to time with capture the flag, except it is played with dodgeballs.

Time-travel back to the Middle Ages and more with the Magic Treehouse book series.
We will read 8 MTH books together in class, over the course of this term.
Students get their own MTH journals to take “notes” (draw/write), collect “treasures”, mark their world maps and create historical timelines.
We will use a fun variety of projects to get excited about reading like: story mapping, book “reports”, putting on a play, design a book cover, dioramas, crafts & more. Each week we will highlight different aspects of literature like main characters, story setting, plot…etc.
Bonus: Kids will also build their own treehouses to create a class “Forest of Treehouses”.
"The treehouse started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still." :)
Requirements:
Kids are NOT required to read or write for this class, although there are plenty of opportunities for kids who are ready for that. You do NOT need to own/supply the MTH books for your child, but it would be great if they had their copy too.
Students are expected to be kind and respectful to the teacher and fellow classmates. Students should be ready to follow 3-step directions.
This class is designed to improve coordination, balance, strength, rhythm and cognitive skills. This will help build and improve hand eye coordination and eye tracking for reading readiness. Basic Gymnastics skills such as forward rolls, cartwheels, handstands and back bends will be things we work towards. Spending time on strength building and flexibility as well as balance. In a small portion of the class we will work with movement to music with props like balls, hoops, bean bags and scarves. Music time with be accompanied with bells, maracas, drums and egg shakers creating different rhythms and beats. We will play fun games, create obstacle courses and student will learn helpful life skills. Opportunities to practice taking turns all while enjoying friendship, movement and laughter together.
