St. Katharine of Siena's Physical Education Class with Mrs. Marchese

 Look what we have been doing in PE class all week with the lower school.... HALLOWEEN OBSTACLE COURSE The kids have been working great this week with a partner going through the Halloween Obstacle Course. Who doesn't love a fort? That is our graveyard crawl. Some other stations are the ghost toss, pumpkin toss, zombie crawl, and spider squash to name a few. See you next week at the Halloween Parade!!

What have we been doing in Physical Education Class? We are in the middle of playing Soccer ! What a fun fall sport to play. The students are learning about teamwork and sportsmanship. How can they contribute to their team and be a positive player?! Are they passing the ball rather than shooting it all the time? Are they trying new positions?  At the end of every game they are shaking hands with their opponents to show good sportsmanship. We will soon have playoffs and a championship game along with a consolation game.  The students learn how a tournament works and that the top seeded team gets to play the lowest seed because they "earned" that right. The good news is that every team gets a shot at the championship game! I tell my students that every year a last place team upsets the first place team, so never give up!  I love seeing my classes come together as a team and have fun at the same time.  Here a a few pictures of them in action!!!
