Coach Mom: Making Up Your Game Plan - Blog Entry

13 Aug 2007 02:55 AM

A question rather than a comment. Our days of homeschooling our own children are long over, but I now find myself in a position of schooling a 3rd grade child overseas in a situation where there few available resources and no community sports activities for her to join other than dance - which she is involved in. I am trying as her teacher to put together a P.E. program to meet her needs for physical activity and fitness, but it is difficult to find ideas for a single student who isn't naturally active to do by themselves - or with her teacher (me.) as there is no one else available. Her weakest points, besides not being very active, are weak fine motor skills and low co-ordination. I'd like to focus on improving these at the same time as helping her make good fitness habits. Any ideas?
