March Madness came early to the Sacred Heart playground. The second, third, fourth and fifth graders competed in a 3 v. 3 basketball tournament during recess. Each team consisted of six to eight players and each team played the entire recess rotating players.
February and the beginning of March we will be talking about Hockey. The students will learn the basic rules and skills of the greatest game on ice. Stick handling, passing and shooting. The most important lesson in Hockey is safety at the end of the students will participate in a small sided game which they will learn new terms such as faceoff, power play and penalty box.
Finally, and as always, we will supplement our March activities with the students with games that incorporate fitness and fun.
Have a Mad March!
