Skating skills!

Roller skating is off to a great start. Students in both first and second grade are showing drastic improvements. Students are able to get up skate and fall safely all on their own. Students are also practicing safe stops while remembering to follow the rules to skating safely. Thanks again to all the parents who have come in to help with roller skating!

Staying in shape with square dancing!

Second grade is finishing their dance unit this week with very basic square dance moves. Kindergarten will be doing a few dances as well, and first grade is finishing up with the Limbo and the YMCA. Skating safety will be covered at the end of this week prior to starting.

Parents please look for reminders from gym class this week about roller skating and Jump Rope for Heart which will be coming up!

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a good winter break and the students are coming back refreshed. All three grades will be beginning their dance units but learning different ones as well as practicing some others they have learned previously.
I would like to apologize again for the mix-up with rollerskating dates but we will be beginning that in two weeks. I look forward to seeing the first and second graders up on skates!
