Gym safety

We are working on  small area cooperative games in physical education. The focus is to get kids communicating and working together to play and create interactive games. As part of this unit we discuss how we have to work together to play safely. Unfortunately, we had a collision during our opening warm-up game and a child received a bloody nose.  We took care of him and made sure he was okay. It was comforting to see the kids step up and help with taking care of our injured student. They helped with keeping him calm and making sure he was okay. A few volunteered to go to the office and get the custodian to help clean up. I was really proud of them, especially how they welcomed him back to class. We went over our safety procedures and the kids came up with suggestions how to avoid similar incidents in the future.
