“Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!”

On March 2^nd, the K-2 Physical Education classes celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday by participating in a variety of different stations.  Each station’s activity was centered around one of Dr. Seuss’ books.  A picture of the book was present at each station so the students knew which book the activity was focused on!   The students had a lot of fun!

            Station 1:  The Foot Book—Students had the chance to practice their soccer

      skills by dribbling and kicking a soccer ball.

            Station 2:  The Cat in the Hat and The Cat in the Hat Comes Back—The

       students had a chance to throw balls through a hoop hanging from the

       basketball hoop, both forward and backwards.

            Station 3:  Hop on Pop--  Students were able to jump on mini trampolines and

      hopscotch mat.

            Station 4:  Green Eggs and Ham--  The students worked on balancing by using a

      frisbee with two green beanbags and a small ball.  They could balance

      the frisbee on their head or one hand. 

            Station 5:  My Many Colored Days—The students worked on color recognition

     and directions  (right and left) by playing a game of Twister.

            Station 6:  I Am Not Going To Get Up Today--  Students worked on push-ups and

     sit-ups.

            Station 7:  Go Dog Go—The students had the chance to act like cars driving on

                  roads by using scooters around the gym.
