PENALTY BOX

Spring time at Edwards always brings about many changes.  Daylight savings, weather, flip-flops instead of shoes, and HOCKEY.  I like to save the hockey unit until later in the year when I know that I have ingrained our safety rules into the kids.  Here we are at that time.  This week we started floor hockey and are having a great time.  1st through 5th grade classes are working on skills like dribbling, passing, shots on goal and face-offs before we start actual games.  Along the way we play mini games that emphasize each skill.  So far this week I have only had to give two penalty's for high sticking, that might be a record low.  Check with your kids as the weeks pass by and see what new skills they have learned.  Maybe check out a hockey game on TV and see if they recognize any of the same skills that they now have.
