This week in P.E. Mr. H is beginning his solo teaching. Scholars will being learning about floor hockey and other types of striking skills. The primary skill that we will be assessing will be the forehand shot/pass. Mr. H will also be teaching dribbling, sportsmanship, safety concepts, and the basic rules of hockey. Check out the breakdown of the forehand shot/pass below and the rubric that he will be using to assess students skills.
Grip- Should be wide with hands at least a foot apart. This will allow for the best control of the stick and also help keep the swing below the waist for maximum safety.
Stance- Student should be standing Sideways to the target. Feet shoulder width apart in an athletic stance.
Backswing- Helps provide power to the shot/pass but should be no higher than waist level.
Follow Through- After striking the puck, the stick should go no higher than waist level. Also the stick should be pointed at the target to help with accuracy.
Nice work, Mr. H! Great job RES kindergarteners! Mr. G's friend and colleague, Betsey Caldwell
