How to Learn the basics of Basketball

Hi! Have you wanted to learn how to play basketball? Well,this is a great time to learn. Learning basketball will be a breeze if you follow these specific steps. As you are learning how to play basketball you will notice it will get easier. Of course you have to get a basketball. There are different sizes so get a ball that is only about fewer inches bigger than your hand, that will make it easier.

First, is you want to learn to dribble. Dribbling is bouncing your ball repeatedly.You should dribble with one hand. Try to remember that you must dribble soft.  Now you’ve learned a dribble. After learning a dribble use your dribble to practice shooting in the hoop. You probably didn’t get it in the hoop the first time. To practice get a good grip on the ball. Once you’ve gotten a good grip on the ball you will find it easier to shoot the ball into the  hoop. If not you should probably jump to make it easier. As you jump you will get closer to the hoop. If you got in the hoop great job if not go from a far distant run and then shoot thats another way. Those are 2 ways to shoot 1 last way is to stand right in front of the hoop and shoot from there.

As you learn, play with your friends . In a real basketball tournament there is more players and people do a move called a pass. A pass is when you pass the ball to another player. As you pass the ball the other person passes the ball. It is not to easy to play basketball so you should play with one of your friend who have a experience with basketball maybe even your parents!

Well, thats it, the basics of basketball now you're ready to be a pro! maybe ask one of your friends or parents to teach you more about basketball.

How to Put your Leg Behind your Head!

Hi have you ever wanted to do a really cool trick like a split, a walkover, a cartweel or put your leg behind your head?  Well I can teach you one of those, and that is putting your leg behind your head. It might seem sooooooo hard but soon it will be sooooooo easy. Like now I  think it is so easy but it used to be so hard :)

First you need to, go on a carpet area. Then make sure you are NOT wearing skinny jeans. Maybe wear yoga pants or cozy pants. So are you in your cozy pants? I hope you are. Cause if not it will be very  hard. So next you need to sit down on the carpet area you have picked out to do this trick on. If you want to time your self then get a electronics and go to the timer app and go to the bottom bar and click on timer. Now you need to grab your right leg if you are right handed, but if you are left handed then grab your left leg. What you do now is lift what ever leg you are holding. After you have done that lift your leg as high as you can and put it behind your head. If you can not do this then try stretching again. Then do it all over again till you do it.

YAY you did one of the cool things that you wanted to do!! Now you can show you friends at recess or a sleepover, I am almost 100% that they will be impressed if you show them :) Hope that you  have a great day. Bye!!

Estimating Categories

Thanks to all the adults that either posted a comment on the blog or shared with us at home!

We shared these strategies in class and came up with 9 categories of how people use estimation in real life:

1. Using money to save, spend, or stay under budget.
2. Figuring out the time it takes to do a task or get someplace.
3. Predicting how much gas is left in our vehicle.
4. Cooking without measuring cups/spoons.
5. The distance between two places.
6. Predicting how many people might attend a function or party.
7. Predicting how many items to get for a function or party.
8. Telling someone the cost of a product or house.
9. Understanding how much space you have.

This Week

Homework is going to be pretty simple and straightforward this week. I am sending home the math facts log and it just needs to be signed daily. Students are bringing home 7's flash cards and they are to study for at least 15 minutes daily. The logs are due on Monday.

There is no other homework this week, mainly because students are trying to earn cans for Passing of the Cans, and I want them to have the free time to do so.

Passing of the Cans is one of our special days @ CFI and I highly encourage that if you are able to come, you should pass cans with us! It's touching to see 300+ people helping people they've never met. Mr. Hass will lead Gathering @ 1:20ish and then we'll start passing cans I'm guessing around 1:45ish. Note the "ish".

This week we are estimating products in multiplication equations and word problems, writing how-to pieces in Writing, reading Gullah folktales in Reading and learning about Gullah contributions to our SC culture in Unit of Study.

Leave a Comment about Estimating!

We are spending the week estimating products in Math Workshop. We have talked about how estimating is "real-life math", something people do on a daily basis.

If you would take the time to leave a comment about how you use estimating in your life as an adult, we would really appreciate it. Thanks!
