Little help from our friends

So, the kindergartners were having a little trouble with the dribbles and shooting.  Thanks to Mrs. Nelms class for "helping out."  The 4th graders stayed a little late one class to instruct the younger kids!  They had a blast!

B-Ball!!

With the bowling equipment all packed up for another school we will break out the basketballs for the next few weeks.  Kids will work on movement, using both side of the body to perform skills, shooting and play some games like knockout, super knockout and 4 team shootout.

Bowling at Westgate Lanes

This week we will be bowling "regular" with the carpeted lanes and rubber bowling balls.  Kids get 2 chances to try and score a strike or spare.  If they do, they can sign the paper sheet hung on the gym wall and keep track or how many they have.  Next week we will do "wacky pins" and "cosmic bowling" with laser lights!!

Back from break...

I hope everyone had a good holiday break and got rested up for an exciting 2016!!  I started working out again and hope to continue the "cardio" workouts during the week.  I hope everyone sticks and stays with new year's resolutions!!

More Hockey pics...

Floor Hockey!!

Next few weeks we will be playing floor Hockey in PE class.  The chicago wolves we generous enough to provide us with jerseys AND certificates.  Attached to the certificate is a pass for one free ticket to a home game!  Thank you WOLVES!!!

Mile run makeup

We did the mile run/makeup yesterday and had a bunch of kids run to improve their times...improve they did...Tyler W. broke the fall school record for this school year with a 6:22 time...kids below are getting amped up for the run!

Heart Course Next Two Weeks

For the next two weeks the students will be learning about our most important muscle, the HEART!!  We have a "Heart Course" setup in the gym where the kids are red blood cells carrying oxygern or waste...they travel the heart delivering these objects and changing color as they pass thru the lungs.

Trick or Treat Time!!

The week of Halloween, we play "Trick or Treat" a LISTENING game where students perform various moves to Halloween items, costumes, characters, etc.  Some examples are mummy, bat, chain lightning, ghost, witch, haunted house, etc.  Here we have mummy, scary movie and pumpkin!

More Mile Run Photos

More mile run shots, Mr. Tombs, Mr. Flanagan helping out and Dr. Bein rocking to a new mile run record!!

Mile Run Today

Today we will have a mile run make-up.  Students will meet AFTER school in the gym.  We will run from 3:35-4:00.  At 4:00pm we will walk outside the main doors.

Mile run!!

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are running the mile in PE class.  Younger kids run 3/5 of a mile, so check you kids hands to see their times.  I use dry erase markers so it washes off easily!!
ALSO, Dr. Bein stopped by to RUN with Mr. Tombs class!!  She also talked about how she is getting better and doing practice runs to build up her endurance.  How cool!

Running the 100

100 yards, or 300 feet can be taxing on our "fast" energy...kids try to blast as quickly as they can the length of a football field while trying NOT to run out for fuel.  On the second run, students are expected to pair up with someone with a time close to theirs.  Many kids improved!!

Student Run Assembly

We had a nice Student Assembly on Wednesday the 30th.  The students talked to all of Westgate about proper manners during an assembly.  Way to go!!

Meadows Football Game

The kids had a blast running out of the Mustang tunnel on Friday night!  The players were great, giving all the Westgate kids a high five!  The football players also came to Westgate to read to the classrooms.  Awesome job!
