We have been learning about and practicing soccer skills this week in K, 1, and 2.  Students practice kicking their ball to a target using different parts of the foot (for example, the inside and instep).

In grades K-2 we learned various hula hoop tricks and practiced bowling skills. In grades 3-5 we have been working on striking skills.
