November 22, 2019
My class started the second semester by reviewing the rules and expectations in physical education, then students were introduced to the next sport unit: Soccer. This unit is a bit different than our normal sport unit. We formed teams earlier this week and each student was give a role for their team including a head coach and team captain.

Team Handball / mamba ball
September 13, 2019
With Mamba ball being the first Lunchtime Sports of the school year, students in my class spent this week learning and practicing how to play. Mamba ball is a sport created at South Lake. It utilizes the rules to Ultimate Frisbee but instead of throwing a frisbee, students are throwing a small squishy dodge ball. It's a great sport to start the year as students learn the basic skills to throwing and catching a ball. To supplement those two skills, we also played Team Handball on the blacktop. Below are some pictures and videos from this week. Next week we will start the flag football unit!

Staff vs Student Softball Game
June 5, 2019
The annual Staff vs Student Softball game on the last full day of school turned out to be an epic game. The Student team jumped to an early 5-0 lead in the first inning but the South Lake staff team was resilient and came back to tie the game 6-6. With one runner on base and Mr. Lin at-bat, the Student team made a great defensive stop to hold on for the tie. Well done, Sharks! Thank you to all the South Lake Staff for coming out and participating in this year's game. You view more pictures from the game by going to the PBIS: Events tab.

Field Games!
June 4, 2019
With all the locks returned and PE clothes put away, students in my class enjoyed a fun-filled day playing four different field games. Students in period 1 and 3 competed during yesterday's block schedule while class period 2, 4, 6 got a chance to play today. The four games were:
Spinning Bat Relay - This was no ordinary relay race! Students had to spin around a bat 10 times first before they can run to the other end of the field to tag their teammates. First team to finish the relay was the winner!
Blindfold Soccer - Each team had two students who had to blindfold themselves while their teammates gave verbal cues and instructions to help guide them towards scoring a goal.
Hula-Hoop Race - Teams had to link up their hands and transfer the hula hoop from one end of the field to the other.
Tug-o-war - The last activity is the traditional tug-o-war where each team had to go up against two opposing teams to see if they can pull the other team across the line.
This was a great way to end my physical education class this school year. It was so much fun watching students compete against each other in these silly games. Check out the videos below to see these games in action!

Quidditch!
May 14, 2019:
It is our second week of state testing so South Lake continues to be on block scheduling this week. To accommodate for the long block period, students in my class have been participating in multiple activities. The past two days, my students have started the block period with a workout. Students exercised with a workout partner just like how they would at a local gym. After their workout, we took a break and I introduced Quidditch; the fictional sport from the wonderful world of Harry Potter. Students had a great time flying around on their "broomstick" to score the quaffle and capturing the "golden snitch." I attached a couple of videos from our game today for your view.

Weekly Update: fielding ground and fly ball
April 12, 2019:
At the start of this week, my class started the softball unit with a focus on throwing and catching with the glove. We went over the proper form to the overhand throw and how to position the glove when trying to catch the boy. We ended the week by progressing to fielding ground ball and pop fly. We will progress to batting next week.

CLASS UPDATE: Block Schedule
April 11, 2019:
Due to the block schedule the past two days, students have been participating in physical education class for a longer period of time than they normally do. I decided to take a break from our softball unit to play some fun games and activities. We started the class with a 15 minute zone run to warm-up. After the run, we got into teams of 4-7 students to play what I call, recreational games. There were five games: handball, four square, badminton, basketball, and volleyball. There are two teams at each activity and we rotate every 6-8 minutes. We ended physical education class by playing one big game of capture the flag where students focus on retrieving a soccer ball, football, and frisbee for their team. Despite the long period, time definitely flew by!

Track and Field Closing Ceremony
March 29, 2019:
We ended the track and field unit with a 2-day track meet where students worked in teams of 5 to compete in six events: "100m" sprint (officially 80m), "400m" run (officially 275m), relay race, shot put, discus throw, and standing broad jump. As a team, students collaborated to determine which event each of them will compete in. Points were based on what place each student got for their team in their group of competition. At the end, all of the points were added up and below are the gold, silver, and bronze medal winners in each class. You can also view the top 5 students in each event from all six PE classes. Great job, Sharks!

lunchtime sports soccer champions!
March 19, 2019:
Congratulations to the Pateadores on winning this season's LTS soccer tournament! The Pateadores advanced to the championship game thanks to a back-to-back penalty shootout win against Goofy Goobers and Unicorn Fam. In the exhilarating championship game against Real Madrid, the Pateadores went on the attack early but struggled to find the back of the net. They eventually broke through and led 1-0. It didn't take long for the Pateadores to score a second goal, this time off of a rebound which put them up 2-0. Real Madrid showed resiliency and played hard despite the deficit. An unbelievable goal by Fabio F. (Real Madrid) scoring from mid-field to put his team on the board. The championship game held a 2-1 score till the end with the Pateadores emerging victorious. Great job to all athletes who competed in this year's soccer season!

CLASS UPDATE: Discus Throw and Shot put
March 18, 2019:
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Students in my class will be continuing our track and field unit. Today's lesson was on the proper technique of throwing a discus and shot put. We started class in the fitness center and watched a couple videos that demonstrated how to grip and throw each. The rest of the class period provided an opportunity for students to practice both skills in a small group. Great job Sharks! Here are some pictures from today's activity.
