Awesome news in the world of Bromley PE! We have our climbing ropes installed and today was the first day of using them. Students were very excited to use them, but did not realize how difficult they are to climb. Thanks to our PTO for the ropes and Mr. Larry Fitzgerald for installing them.

Happy Friday All!

This past week we finished up our basketball unit. During this unit, I really focused on working with the students on their shooting. We focused on feet-work, balance, fakes, and overall ball control while shooting. Many of the students seen improvement throughout the unit, which was pleasing for me!

Have a great weekend!

Another week gone, what a fast week! Students have been working on basketball and have really made a lot of improvements. I have been really working on their footwork and balance when they are shooting. Students have really seen improvements with these adjustments. Next week, we will conclude our basketball unit with a test and some more basketball games. Don't forget if you have any money for the Hoops for Heart, that money goes to the American heart foundation for research on Heart disease and other heart plagued diseases!

Have a great weekend, Thanks Mr. Ortega

We have finished up Team Handball and it will be a good lead in to our next unit, which is Basketball. Team Handball focuses on passing, which is essential in Basketball. We will be starting basketball Monday February 14.

This year for the first time middle school students will be raising money for the American Heart foundation. The money will go to research for heart disease and other heart plagued diseases, which will help save lives. We will call the unit, "Hoops For Heart". Students will demonstrate a healthy lifestyle through our basketball unit, thus encouraging others to live an active lifestyle, which will help prevent heart plagued diseases!

We've had a short week in class due to the weather, but students picked up right where they left off with Team Handball. We will play this two more days, then we will start our basketball unit!

In physical education class, students have finished up the volleyball unit. The students really enjoyed volleyball and will end the unit today with a volleyball test. Next week, students will start team handball, which is an Olympic sport. Team handball is a passing game, which involves communication and a lot of activity!

2011-01-21T10:49:00.000-08:00

The students have now started Volleyball! The first three days we covered the basic skills and practiced them. At this time, I was able to give some good feedback that really helped all the students. The students are now starting to play 3on3 games, which is going great!

Badminton was a big success with the students. They really enjoyed the activity and as a result, I seen full participation from all the students.

Just a reminder to all students to turn in any homework that was assinged as soon as possible. Last week the muscle word search was assigned and the weightlifting worksheet. Also, policy sheets will still be worth points if turned in. Hope everyone had a fun weekend!

Muscle and Fitness Seek & Find homework due Wednesday, 25th

Your children are doing awesome in PE parents. The students are running every day in class, which is something different for them compared to past years. We rotate the running everyday from either sprinting or long distance.

2010-08-17T12:52:00.000-07:00

The first week of class has been great. Students have done their pre-tests for the mile run and the pacer test. I believe in testing the students at the start of the semester, so we can see their improvements throughout. We have already had records broken in both the mile and the pacer. If records are broken at the begining of the year, this tells me that students are active through the Summer. That is awesome to see and remember PARENTS, our students will only want to do something if YOU are demonstrating it for them. It is healthy for all families to demonstrate a healthy & active lifestyle!
