Jump Rope for HEART

Your students have been sent home with a parent letter regarding Jump Rope for Heart. Be sure to ask your child about it. We are trying to raise money for the American Heart association for heart disease and stroke. The primary goal of this fund raiser is to help those in need. There is also an incentive program for those students who bring in the most money! In addition to the Thank You gifts from the American Heart Association, I have presented the classes with opportunities to raise the most money as a class and as an individual. Please support your child's effort in raising money for this important cause. The event will take place March 17th! Anyone willing to come in and help prior to the event to count money or help out with stations on March 17th is welcome to. Please email me first. Thank you!

Dance To Dance

Students are doing a fantastic job as we move to more complicated dances! Students have learned the macarena as well as the whole YMCA dance and are looking forward to the electric slide and the Cha Cha slide. It is important to let your son or daughter know just how great it is that they are dancing and is a way to exercise especially during the indoor months. This dance unit will be coming to an end after just a few more dances, but look for your child to show their moves off at the Snowflake Ball!

Staying Warm, Staying Active!

As we are in between cold snow showers, students in first and second grade have finished their bowling units and are excited about our upcoming dance unit starting next week. Look for your children to soon be doing the chicken dance, the cha cha slide and several others! Before we start our dance unit students are actively engaged in various games and activities. Ask your child what they have been doing and what they can do to stay active around the house during this winter season.

Super Bowling

The students at Ide have been busy! All ages are in their bowling units and are doing a fantastic job. First and Second grade students are learning how to keep score as well as the proper way to bowl. Kindergarten is just starting but they have done a wonderful job so far. While bowling isn't a very intense activity, the students understand the importance of staying active year round! To reinforce this students have been working on increasing their endurance, and doing a variety of activities in addition to bowling!
