Basketball Wrap Up and Marathon Jr.

Students in 3-5 are wrapping up their basketball unit by combining the skills of dribbling, passing and shooting. The students also participated in a circuit training lesson where they performed various exercises using exercise steps, jump ropes, medicine balls and resistance bands. They are working on recognizing what exercises focus on specific components of fitness. Next week they will begin a unit on football skills (running routes, catching, throwing and kicking). 

Students in grades K-2 are finishing up their ball control unit where they have worked on dribbling, the bounce pass and even progressed to shooting at the 8 ft. basket and a 6 foot target. They also participated in the circuit training lesson. Next week we will begin to work on the components of the overhand throw.





 

The Dolphin Running Club met for the second time this week. Students have logged many miles over the last two weeks. Next week they will begin to earn charms for their chain. 

Check out the Call Federal Marathon Jr. which partners with the Richmond Marathon. All participants receive a medal and awards will be given for the top 3 male and female finishers in each distance. They are also having a costume contest. Don't miss this awesome event!
