00:40 Shooting With A Lacrosse Stick (Blended Learning)

On November 12, 2019, we put the students through three lacrosse stations during their class time. My station was lacrosse shooting. We started the lesson by watching a "how to" video on lacrosse shooting by Paul Rabil, who is considered one of the best lacrosse players in the world. After the short video was finished the students practiced shooting at goals with their Rabil inspired knowledge.

00:21 Football Throwing Accuracy (Blended Learning)

On October 1, 2019, I led two classes through a blended learning lesson in throwing a football with accuracy. We started off by watching a Peyton Manning (NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback) on how to throw a football with accuracy. Following the movie I split the class into two groups. Both stations prioritized throwing the ball at a particular location, rather than for distance. One half of the class threw a football at a net and the other group threw footballs at buckets at a distance. After about 10 minutes the groups rotated to the other station to practice the their accuracy a different way.

00:31 Lacrosse Scoop Game...

Who says first graders can't play lacrosse? On November 11, we spent about 20 minutes learning to scoop tennis balls off the ground with lacrosse sticks. After our prep time I split the class into two teams and we played several games running, scooping and seeing which team ended up with the most tennis balls on their side. The kids did great, especially considering they have never had a lacrosse stick in their hand. We had a BLAST!!!

After learning how to hold and handoff a baton, we raced around the gym. Each squad ran from their cone around the course, handed off the baton, until each teammate completed one lap. This activity was played during the week of October 20, 2019.
