Nestle Labels

Just a reminder: We are still collecting Nestle Go Play Labels. Last years students brought in enough labels to purchase 18 new jump ropes.

First and Second Graders this week will be learning a variety of ball skills prior to our sports units. Students in first grade will be working on many of the basics of throwing, catching and kicking, while second grade will spend more time developing specific skills.

Balancing Act

Students have been doing a great job with some difficult movements. In class we are stressing that certain things may be difficult but don't give up. 1st grade has been working on headstands and forward rolls and will continue to work on certain balancing movements. 2nd grade has been doing some movements that were slightly more difficult.

Just a reminder: We are still collecting Nestle Go Play Labels.

Keep It Movin!

The fitness unit was ended in a great way as second graders recorded bests in pushups and situps. Next, students will spend a couple weeks working on a movement unit. Students in 1st and 2nd grade will be reviewing a little of what they learned last year while learning new movements on the safety mats.

After a nice long weekend we are back and ready to start our first units of the year! Students in first and second grade are starting their fitness units, and kindergarten will be starting a movement unit. Students will continue learning of ways to be a good sport before we play various games this year.
