Hi Everyone,
I created a web page to organize all of my P.E. activity ideas and lesson plans. I still have lots more to add, but it's a start... Figured I might as well share it with the world! :-)

Video of 2nd graders practicing Somersaults. Our cue words were "Frog, Tuck, Roll" (Frog position is squatting down with hands and feet close together, looking between your legs). Remind students to flip over and roll on their backs, not their heads.

P.E. Balloon Activities for Elementary Students
This week my Kindergarten and Preschool aged students had fun playing with balloons! My 2nd graders did not have school this week, but they will be participating in these balloon activities soon. They are finishing their unit on jump ropes...
To view the details of my Balloon Lesson, please click on this link. The first several pages of this document are posters I used in my lesson, and the last page has the list of activities. My plan is to break the activities (there are about 9) over THREE class periods. We spent about 8 minutes doing balloon activities and the rest of class was the warm-up and fitness games.
These posters show the order of things I taught the kids. Today we did the red and orange poster. Next week we'll talk more about the other posters. The red and orange poster just have body parts listed. This is how we practiced hitting the balloons (with our feet, hands, fingers, elbow, knee, head, shoulder, thumb). The pattern posters give examples of how we can use patterns while we play with balloons. Ex. Hit the balloon with hand, then foot (AB pattern) OR an ABC patterns of "hand, knee, foot".

This is a video of the pre-K class doing an "AB" pattern while hitting the balloon. Hand-Foot, Hand-Foot, etc.
The ECSE classes played "Stop-Go-Slow" using scooters. Great way to work those leg muscles! Pictured is Mr. Gietzen, our new student teacher.

Elementary P.E. Chinese Jump Ropes
Special Note: This semester I will have a student teacher working with me from Aquinas College. His name is Mr. Joe Gietzen and he is very excited to be with us!
Update: For the month of December, 2nd graders worked a lot on catching and throwing. We also had fun playing some holiday games such as "Feed the Reindeer", Christmas Tree Tag and Candy Cane Tag.
In January we will be focusing on Jump Rope Skills. Students will practice with Chinese Jump Ropes, Long Ropes, Single Ropes, and Jumping Sticks. This week the kids also played a running game called "Freezer". A good one for the cold month of January! Click HERE for more videos of jump rope activities from previous years.
Chinese Jump Rope Pattern "Americans" 1-2-3-4-(straddle jumps) In-Out-In-On This student is learning the American's pattern. She has two misses,then nails it on her third turn! Good job!
This student was successful (no misses) at ankle height, so the rope holders move it up to calf height. The highest I allow for second graders is knee height.
