Guardians of the Pin First graders play a spirited game of pin guard during PhyEd class with Mrs. Lukens and Mrs. Brown. | Practice Makes Possible Students practice throwing the ball at a bowling pin in a hula hoop during pin guard. | Ready, Aim, Throw!Students are taught to aim at a target by lining up the shot with their non-throwing hand. This improves the accuracy of their throws. |
