Last Day of Tennis

                Today is the last day of our Tennis unit at Pathfinder School.  It may be raining but our students are still fierce in the game. We took our skills indoors and set up a tennis court in our gymnasium.

Some students chose to volley the ball back and forth over the net, while others wanted to practice different skills that they had learned over the past two weeks. One of our students heard thunder while hitting his ball over the net and said, “Did you hear how hard I hit that ball?”  You can see that we have a lot of fun, using Mother Nature’s sounds to liven up our games.

Our next unit will be on volleyball, and our students will explore the equipment, skills, and rules for that activity.  It’s important to try different games and sports with the students as it encourages them to stay active physically, learn how to take care of their bodies, and helps them become well-rounded in all areas.  We have a lot of fun as we learn, and it’s very satisfying to see the children gain strength, build physical skills and become motivated.

Until next time, stay active!
