December!

As we get into the cold months of December, we will be entering our ball handling unit in PE class here at Eastgate.  This will likely be a series of teachings revolving around basketball, but the underlying skill we are working on (in different levels) is dribbling and controlling the ball.

While, we will play many games and participate in many activities, here are the skill outcomes for each grade level:
