Welcome to Mr. Wallin's PE blog. I will use this site to share information that relates to Physical Education at East Oakview Elementary. Physical Education has come a long way since the days when we were kids. Gone are the days when the teacher would just roll out the kickball or dodgeballs and sit on the bench to referee. At East Oakview we focus on creating a safe and fun environment that allows students to enjoy being active.
We just wrapped up a long and fun volleyball unit before winter break. Kindergarteners had a lot of fun using balloons to serve over the net and pass to a partner or a small group. 1st graders started with balloon activities and moved on into beach ball passing with small groups. 2nd through 4th grade worked on serving and passing drills early and eventually moved on into 6 on 6 beachball volleyball games. This is one of my favorite units each year which is why I like to plan it between Thanksgiving and Winter break.
We will come back from break and start in on a 2-3 week bowling unit culminating in the 3rd grade bowling field trip to Westgate Lanes on January 22nd. The kids and I look forward to this unit and field trip every winter.
I will take some time over break to add some new blog entries with links to pictures or videos that I have from this year's various activities. I'm very new at this so it might take me some time to master. Thanks for reading and I look forward to keeping you more informed as the year goes on.
Sincerely,
Jordan Wallin
