Students began the relay with one pin on the pin deck. Each time they knocked down all their pins, they were able to add another pin. The relay was over when a team has all ten pins on the pin deck and someone on their team bowls a strike.
We had to take a break from our Volleyball Unit due to availability of the bowling lanes. A big THANK YOU to Park Center Lanes for sharing their bowling lanes with us so that our students can have a more realistic experience in our bowling unit:)
We learned that there are 3 different ways to hold your hands during a forearm pass or bump: interlock, palms up or wrap around. Ask your child to show you which way they picked. The students would make a "v" with their arms, bend their knees, and meet the ball on their forearms on the way up. They practice their passing with several activities: toss bump catch, bump continuously, toss to a friend, wall passing, bumping back and forth as well as playing a game of bumping it over the net. The students would all bump over the net, the students earned a point for their team if it went over the net. Warm up this week was partner balloon races. They were asked to move the balloon with their partner without using their hands or letting the balloon drop. The 3 week volleyball unit is broken down into 3 skills: serving, passing and setting. At the end of class we have a competition of accuracy and form using the specific skill we are working on. The students who win are awarded a certificate.
Toss Bump Clap Catch and Toss Clap 360 catch
