It was a year of innovation, creativity, flexibility, patience, and fun as we reinvented our PE curriculum due to the COVID pandemic. We are proud to say that we spend over 90% of our PE classes outside this academic year. That would not have been possible without the partnership with our families, who ensured their students were ready to go with outdoor gear. And of course, the amazing participation of our students. We all deserve a pat on the trapezius!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We hope our students and families enjoy a restful summer full of fun, movement, and connections. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We really are lucky to have been your teachers this year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Be safe!

We have fantastic outdoor fields and trails to allow for a positive cross country skiing experience. We work towards the classic style of "kick and glide", and how to go up and down small hills. For some of our students, this was their first exposure to cross country skiing. A great lifetime activity that is important to know when you live here in Vermont! Enjoy the pictures below.<br />

From the students' being taught, to the student doing the teaching, and of course the PE staff ourselves. An opportunity to watch an 8th grade student rise to the occasion by preparing, planning, and teaching a PE lesson is always something special. A big shout out to Chloe Boliba (and her Dad, Jeff) for their involvement with our PE program. As part of her 8th grade challenge, Chloe wanted to spark some interest in the great, Vermont outdoor sport of snowboarding. Her lesson included cooperation/positive social interactions and balance. It was well received by our 3rd/4th grade students! Well done Chloe!! Enjoy some pictures of the action below.<br />

We begin with basic passing and receiving skills. Next, we move through some challenge activities that build these skills, and then transition into small sided gameplay. Small sided gameplay allows for more opportunities to participate and increase skill. The students really enjoy this!! We use two assessments within this unit. One assessment is skill related and is connected to successfully receiving and making a pass. The second assessment is connected to the concept of space. We ask the students to use space as a strategy within small sided gameplay. It has been a very successful unit!<br />

Within this unit the manipulative skill of catching is reinforced, and students are provided with the opportunity to catch a variety of equipment. We begin the unit spending two days working through catching challenges using hula hoops and a variety of different equipment to catch! Students work their way through different equipment, and are given opportunities to choose the challenge level they are comfortable with. Providing this choice allows for maximum skill building, along with keeping this tricky skill successful for all students. We finish the unit applying our previously learned skill of "moving to open space" with our newly established skill of catching, within an activity called "Capturemania". Enjoy the pictures below!<br />

We begin this unit working on two important throws. The backhand and the forehand. Students are provided with an opportunity to practice these two skills, while throwing within an open field. Next, students are taught proper disc golf etiquette, and are shown a style of play called "best disc scramble". This style of play allows for students to move through the course at a faster speed, and to have the ability to take their throw from a more opportunistic spot on the course. The assessment used within this unit is connected to using positive social skills and using proper disc golf etiquette. Students play through our 12-hole course in groups of 3 or 4. Enjoy the pictures below!<br />

Our 3rd/4th grade students attend PE as a double class, meaning two classes come together. There are two PE teachers ready to teach when they arrive! We use both of our gyms, and split the classes into two groups. One class works with one of our PE teachers within our Team Handball unit and the other class works with the other PE teacher within our Intro to Badminton unit. After the students complete the unit, they flip/flop and switch units and PE teachers. We use this method for a variety of units as we move through the school year.<br />
<br />
Below are some pictures of our Team Handball Unit. Within this unit students get to apply the skills of throwing and catching. It is the first time we ask students to think about moving to open space, and using space as a strategy. We discuss offense and defense.<br />

Below are some pictures of our Into to Badminton unit. Students work on striking a shuttle with a modified racquet. This racquet, called a Racqualoon, allows for optimal success due to its design. Students work towards starting a rally using an underhand serve, and attempt to set a record as they rally with different partners over a badminton net!<br />

Our 5th - 8th grade students are currently participating within our indoor tennis unit. This unit begins with an introduction to basic striking skills using our indoor tennis racquets. We begin the unit with individual skill challenges that we call "ups", "downs", "flip/flops", and "rim". Students set individual records and attempt to break these records on a daily basis. Next, we introduce a great lead up activity called "rally ball". Rally ball is a game played on our indoor tennis courts, but is a combination of tennis and pickleball rules. We finish the unit with students using the regular rules to tennis, while playing doubles on our courts. The skill we assess within this unit is the forehand.<br />

Sand Volleyball/Newcomb is one of our first 5th-8th grade PE units offered this year. We are lucky enough to have four sand volleyball courts here at the school. What a great opportunity for our students! We design the unit to be a combination of both general volleyball rules and newcomb rules. Newcomb is a modified version of volleyball that follows many of the same rules, concepts, and strategies as general volleyball, however you are allowed to catch and throw the ball. We give students the choice, when the ball comes to them, to use a regular volleyball skill or to catch/throw. All students are asked to use an underhand serve to start any point within game play, as it is the assessed skill within this unit. Check out some action shots below!<br />

This warm-up was brought to our WCS PE teachers by two individuals who work for the University of Vermont. It was designed to improve strength and balance, through exercises that can be done without the need for specialized equipment or a specialized space. The number one piece of feedback we have received from our students is that they enjoy the fact that these exercises can be done anywhere, without any equipment! Take a look at the pictures below for a few examples.<br />

A lifetime activity that continues to grow within the state of Vermont, Disc Golf provides our middle school students with the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors here in Vermont. The activity is very similar to the game of golf. The object for this lifetime activity is to throw your disc, and continue to throw from the point at which your disc stops on the ground, until your disc is thrown and caught by the chained basket at the end of the hole. We are lucky enough to have a 12-hole disc golf course right here at the school. Students work towards making a backhand and forehand throw with a mature pattern. Next, we discuss proper disc golf etiquette and respecting others on the course. We apply these two learned skills as students play through our 12-hole disc golf course. A great way to spend a few days outside in the fall here in Vermont.WCS Physical Educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06302120541108583507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535746967639392826.post-77635435469238819052017-11-15T11:03:00.001-05:002017-11-15T11:03:32.972-05:00A Brand New Activity for our Middle School Students - Tchoukball<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have a brand new activity for our middle school students this year. The game is called Tchoukball. Can you take a guess at the pronunciation? The game is named after the noise that is made when the ball bounces off the net. We play this game with small sided teams to be sure there are more opportunities to catch and pass. The students work towards a mature pattern when they catch the ball. Our other goal is for students to work towards making the appropriate pass within the game based upon the movement concepts they are using. The goal of the game is to score a point by passing the ball to teammates, move across the court, and throw the ball off of the net. If the ball rebounds off the net and lands on the floor within the boundaries, your team has scored a point. If the opposing team can catch the ball before it hits the floor, the gameplay continues. An interesting aspect of this game is a lack of guarding or defense. It is not allowed. It is a self refereed game as well.WCS Physical Educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06302120541108583507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535746967639392826.post-77211335496264423192017-09-19T11:21:00.000-04:002017-09-19T11:21:41.202-04:00Sand Newcomb Volleyball<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sand Newcomb Volleyball is one of our first "Team" 5th - 8th grade units this year. Newcomb Volleyball combines the knowledge/rules of the game (boundary rules, touch rules, positioning, keeping score, rotations, hand-eye coordination) with throwing and catching. The main difference between sand volleyball and newcomb volleyball is the student's ability to catch and throw the ball over the net. Students do not use typical volleyball skills (set, forearm pass, bump, spike, etc.), but instead use the skills of catching and throwing to score points for their team. Sticking with our philosophy of small sided game play, students are broken up into match-ups of 3 v. 3 or 4 v. 4 to maximize skill building and activity time. </div>

Ultimate is a team game, which is quickly becoming more and more popular across the country. The object of the game is to pass a disc (many of you know them as Frisbees) with teammates as you travel across a field to score a "touchdown". A touchdown is scored when a member of your team has made a successful catch, with two feet, completely across the "touchdown" line. You are not allowed to move with the disc in your hands, so using a variety of throws as the passer, and moving/cutting/juking as a receiver will increase success. It is a fast paced game that allows for success at all skill levels. One of our PE department's favorite aspects to the game is "The Spirit of the Game". The game of Ultimate is self refereed, and players are always asked to play using "The Spirit of the game". By that I mean teams officiate themselves, and even at the highest level, the game is played without officials or referees.WCS Physical Educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06302120541108583507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535746967639392826.post-24969667275869260782017-05-16T10:08:00.002-04:002017-05-16T10:08:55.208-04:00We finally had snow, so we took advantage with some snowshoeing!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well, the snow came to Vermont a little late this year. Thankfully we took advantage with a quick, three day snowshoeing unit towards the end of March. Three classes for each 3rd/4th grade student (spanning 1-2 weeks) was all the snow would allow before it began to melt. First, students were sized with their correct snowshoe. Next, Mrs. McClintock passed on here amazing snowshoe knowledge to the students, and to finish off the mini three day unit we had two days out in the snow. Students learned how to take on and off their snowshoes, how to stand up in snowshoes, how to run, how to walk backwards, how to ascend a hill, and finally how to descend a hill. What a great lifetime activity to learn when you live in the beautiful state of Vermont.WCS Physical Educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06302120541108583507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535746967639392826.post-58681086700741123662016-12-20T10:36:00.000-05:002016-12-20T10:36:11.862-05:003rd/4th Grade Bowling!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our 3rd/4th grade students have been participating in our bowling unit the past few weeks. I know we, as the PE teachers, really enjoy this unit as well! We begin the unit with basic instruction consisting of how to hold the ball, the walking approach, and a successful roll towards the pins. Students rotate through the job of roller and "Pin Machine". We discuss bowling etiquette, safety, and teamwork/positive social interactions as students progress through this unit. What fun!<br />

What a fantastic lifetime activity we are able to offer to our students here at WCS. We are lucky to have a 12-hole disc golf course just a 3-5 minute walk from the school. The pictures to the left show a group of 4 students as they play through hole #6. Within this unit students learn the proper mechanics to the backhand and forehand throw. The focus on course etiquette is another valuable piece to this unit. We hope a few of our 5th - 8th grade students have discovered this new lifetime activity, through our PE program, and will look to continue their play with family and friends!<br />

A new unit to our PE program is Sizzlin' Summer Games. Through the course of this unit we teach students four small group games, as well as introducing capture the flag. This unit falls under the category of Lifetime Activities. The small group games include KanJam, Bocce, Cornhole (pictured left), and Spikeball (pictured below). We also spend one day discussing capture the flag and how it is an activity they could set up with their friends on their own. What a fun unit, full of great opportunities to work towards improved social skills. Hopefully they found an activity they enjoyed and wish to continue playing in the future!<br />

Flag Football Unit! Our first team sport unit of the year was our Flag Football unit. We discussed proper throwing mechanics and the many different routes you can run as a wide receiver. My goal for the students was to put them in a situation where they could set up, create rules, and play a flag football game without an adult being present. I wonder if any of them will find a way to set up a game on a weekend or evening? A great unit to kick off the year!<br />

We had a beautiful day number two, and it looks like WCS students took full advantage of the weather. Look at all these bicycles! Our physical education team is always proud to see our students find opportunities to exercise and be active on their way to and from school.<br />
