Just Keep Rolling...

Now that we return to normalcy with P.E. class after a chaotic but fun unit of roller skating, we are in full swing with bowling. Students seem to be enjoying this just as much as skating. Ask them how they have been doing! Students will even be keeping track of their scores on score sheets. Next week we will be introducing a few more ways to have fun with bowling once everyone grasps the basics.

Skating to a stop!

Thank you to all the parents that put in countless hours of help; tying and untying, Strapping and unstrapping, adjusting, and everything else. I could not have done it without you! For those parents that were unable to come in ask your child about their skating experience. They should be able to tell you a few ways to stop and maybe even show you how to go backwards!

Helmets for Roller Skating

As we start our roller skating unit, I want to ensure complete safety for all of our students. In order to do this I would like to require all students to wear a helmet. We have been provided with enough helmets for each student. However, if you do not feel comfortable with your child sharing a helmet with other children, then you can provide your own helmet. I do understand that this is a concern, but I would like to inform you that the company providing helmets has never had a problem.
If this is a concern of yours then here are some options to consider. The first option is to bring your own biking or roller skating helmet with your child’s first and last name labeled somewhere visible. The second option is to send your child with a cap or hat to wear under the helmets provided.
I am sorry for the late notice as we start our roller skating unit. If you would like your child to wear their own helmet or a cap under the helmet provided then please send the appropriate equipment as soon as possible. Please be reminded that your child will be required to wear the helmet provided until you send the proper equipment.

Sincerely,
Mr. Kukulski
Physical Education Teacher
