Kdg.-2nd GradersLower elementary concluded their volleying unit this week. We finished by participating in an activity called Volleyball Battleship. It was an absolute blast. The kids would peek into the gymnasium and get so excited to see the parachutes over the net. We started with basketball stations in first and second grades. The (3) skills we will focus on this unit are: Dribbling (mostly), Shooting (sometimes), and Passing (sometimes). In kindergarten, our goal is to be able to dribble the ball with one hand, not two. First graders should be able to continuously dribble with one hand. Second graders should be able to demonstrate a mature dribble with their favorite hand! 3rd-5th GradersUpper elementary finished their volleyball unit with a traditional game of beach ball volleyball. Boy was I impressed. We were serving the ball over the net, making multiple touches-not just one person hitting it back and forth, and communication was golden. Upper elementary rotated through (6) basketball stations to assess our abilities in dribbling, passing, and shooting. If students were on task and time alloted we played Dribble Pyramid at the end. Dribble pyramid has three stages. You have one partner and you advance if your partner either loses control or breaks eye contact (practicing eyes up!) Winner moves on to the next stage, other student stays and challenges another student.
