Ms. Missy's Messenger
What's up in the Community Classroom?
September 15 - September 25, 2014
Sports
This week and next week we will be learning about sports and the different equipment used to play sports. We will label and identify the different types of balls used for various sports and talk about what you do with them--kick them, hit them, or catch them. We will look at different sporting equipment and match them to the correct ball they go with. On the playground, we will practice kicking, throwing, and catching different balls. We will also work on some quality concepts, like: big/little, hard/soft, fast/slow, and up/down. As always, we will continue to focus on appropriate social skills, communication skills, and pre-academic skills.
