A Message From BCE PE:
Hello Bear Creek Families!
WALK TO SCHOOL WEEK is NEXT WEEK!!
In PE, the City of Austin Public Works Safe Routes to School Program will be presenting a virtual lesson on safety. The Safe Routes to School Program has sent six bike helmets that we will be raffling off throughout the week! In next week's Special Area newsletter we will post a google form for you to fill out if your child walks or bikes to school that day. At the end of each school day a raffle drawing will be done and the recipient will be announced the next morning's morning announcements video for the students to see. Bus riders will have an opportunity to participate by walking laps in the gym before heading to the classroom in the morning :-)
Last week in PE students began working on self assessing based on grade level goals for throwing and catching. Most classes have been introduced to the "Plagnet" in PE - a Plicker magnet. Using the Plagnet assigned to them, a student can quickly show a self check-in, answer a question posed to them, or show their learning goal self assessments.
This week we're beginning to wrap up our throwing and catching unit with a station day followed by a day of throwing and catching games.
SKILLS UNIT: THROWING AND CATCHING
The Learning Goal for our throwing and catching unit is to practice a variety of ways to move a ball to another location or person. The skills in this unit include, rolling, underhand tossing, overhand throwing, and catching.
In this unit, students will learn the basics of throwing and catching a ball. They will practice both underhand rolling and underhand tossing.
1ST NINE WEEKS HEALTH TOPICS
This quarter, students will learn about the self-care components of identifying emotions, understanding the zones of regulation and self management strategies. Students will also learn the components of health-related fitness and how they all work together for student wellness.
