Stay active, Be safe!

As students enter their last week we will be discussing things that we can do to stay healthy, and be safe, as well as doing a few last activities! I have had such an enjoyable first year, and hope the success the students had this year continues next year! A final note: Thank you to all the parents, staff, and anyone else I may be forgetting that has made my first year such a success!
Good Luck to the current 2nd grade next year at Prairieview!

Testing... 1,2,3

With summer fast approaching students will be able to be active and should strive to maintain healthy habits, while working to improve overall strength and endurance. 1st grade students will be tested this week and next, and then again in the fall as second graders. Kindergarten with only a few days left will be finishing up the school year with a few more activities outside. Compliments to the second grade classes that worked with the kindergarten classes during gym this week! They were excellent role models for the younger students!

Tag Team Effort!

The week started off with the letter "I" for Ice cream, and followed with Jump Rope, Kickball, "L" for Lollipops, and ends today with Movie and Munchies Day. Instead of eating, in gym we changed the days to Improving our skills, and Limbo Day for I and L. Next week students will work in unison to complete various activities using the parachute. The P.E. class will also be joining up with Ms. Wyse two days next week! Next week's letters: N,O,P,Q, and R.

The Great Outdoors

While we continue to do the alphabet countdown, students are entering their last unit in gym. We are reviewing things we covered this year throughout our outdoor unit. Weather permitting, students will be spending more time outside. The stress of this unit will be control and working in groups, partners, or as a class to acheive certain goals! Next week's letters of the countdown are I,J,K,L, and M.

Don't count the days, make the days count!

A slight adjustment to the last few weeks of school. Not just Kindergarten but all students at Ide have begun the 26 days of the alphabet. In gym class, students will participate in activities relating to the letter of the day. This week for B day the students were able to have a book read to them outside. Dance Day will start off the beginning of next week. Other letter activities students will do in gym include jump rope day, outside day, sports day, and rock and roll day. As school winds down we need to remember not to count the days but make the days count!
