In gym this month and last month we have been working on our soccer skills and our sportsmanship skills. We have played several games of soccer and on purpose, Michael made the teams uneven like 11 to 8 to work on our sportsmanship. We are learning to work with uneven teams because the game won’t always be fair and Michael also wants us to work together. Room 17 has also been learning to play with the Frisbee and recently we have learned a game called cricket (to room 17 "kickit"). Michael has also been taking us outside to play some outdoor games like kickball and soccer. Kickit is almost the same as baseball but there are 2 skittles and a ball, a pitcher, a kicker, and a back catcher. The bowler rolls the ball at the kicker and the kicker tries to kick it anywhere they want. Then they try and run back and forth through the skittles and the rest of the people try and catch the ball then they try and knock or put it on the skittle where the bowler was standing. During one of the soccer games there were 2 teams and they split up and one half of each team would play and the other half of the team was cheerleading. Michael is going to let us have a cheer off!!

In gym we have been playing dino eggs. There are two versions; one is with soccer balls and then there is bean bags and sticks. Sometimes it doesn’t work out because people argue. They usually argue over their positions. People don’t like defense because they like going and getting sticks or bean bags.
In soccer we play mini games, three way games, and one large game. Sometimes we even make cheering squads and cheer, then switch so the others can cheer and the others play. 0nce we switched in a counter clock wise circle so we could play every team of 4 or 5. Before we play we have a crazy follow-the-leader going around trees and walls warm-up. Sometimes we would even do it in groups of 4.
We also have been playing a game called ultimate chicken. It is were you can only take 5 steps, then you have to pass the rubber chicken or shoot. Sometimes we add a soccer ball so we can do both at the same time.
