Welcome Back!

Students are returning to school after a nice spring break. In P.E. students will be starting a soccer unit at all levels. Kindergarten will focus more on the fundamentals and a passing with partners. First and Second grade will spend a few days on passing and kicking fundamentals, then move to several drills and playing full games.

Spring Break!

Students have deserved a much needed break. Students worked hard to collect donations for Jump Rope for Heart and Participating this week. The final turn-in was Thursday and Elizabeth Ide raised 9,309 dollars!!! Thank you to everyone that made this year's JUMP ROPE FOR HEART a success. Enjoy the rest of your spring break and come back rested!

Celebrate Jump Rope for Heart!

Monday March 17th is the culmination of Jump Rope for Heart. Students have done an excellent job collecting money even though we are quite short of our lofty goal. So far the students have raised just under 5,000 dollars. Monday students will be celebrating and jumping for all those that have heart disease and stroke. Thank you to all who have donated for this worthy cause! Don't forget to ask your child about the different Jump Rope activities they have done on Monday!

There is no I in team!

This week students will have the chance to communicate with fellow teammates in some trust activities and continue to develop several skills working as part of a team. Communication is an important aspect of working as a team. We will also have a few people take turns being a leader of teams. This is another important aspect of how well a team functions!

There is no I in team, but there is one in LIFESAVER! As the money for jump rope for heart comes in, students with 50 dollar donations will put their name on a heart and attach it to our Lifesaver wall. With no school Friday we ask that you try to have your money turned in by Thursday, March 13th. This way the students can see how well they have done!

3 for 3

As the second semester comes to an end, the first and second grade students are starting a set of new units. They will be starting Health and a Team Unit. Students will understand the importance of taking care of themselves and at the same time working in unison with others to achieve a goal. Kindergarten will continue to work on developing several skills. All three grades are encouraged to continue fundraising for Jump Rope for Heart and will spend considerable time jumping rope the next few weeks! The best way to get better is by practicing. Students can do this at home by bringing their own jump rope home for just bringing $15 dollars in for Jump Rope for Heart!
Two trimesters down, one more to go! Other units this semester include soccer, outdoor activities, and track!
