Kickin' it into break!

Students of all age levels at Elizabeth Ide are beginning their soccer unit this Monday. All aspects will be covered from fundamentals, to basic positions, and especially teamwork. This unit will be just getting underway before we leave for break. This gives students an opportunity to practice some of these simple skills prior to returning after break, where we will continue are unit for another two weeks!

Nestle Labels

Last year students brought in just about 2,000 Labels for Nestle points which is turned in for new gym equipment. Previously, we brought in enough for 25 new jump ropes in addition to a few other pieces of equipment to use in the gym and at recess. This year the students and teachers at Elizabeth Ide brought in over 4,200 labels. Thank you for all the work, and continue to bring in the labels as we will save for next year!

Juggling the Food Groups!

Over the next two weeks students will be doing a variety of juggling activities in addition to learning about the food groups. Students will be aware of what they are eating and where it fits in the food pyramid. Students will work individually and as a team as group work is stressed! Kindergarten will be finishing kickball as we approach better weather and hopefully take advantage of the days that we can go outside.

Kindergarten Kickball

Kindergarten has started a kickball unit and will continue to work on concepts and skills involved with the sport. They are already doing a fantastic job! Last week students spent time running the bases and kicking. This week, they will be working on fielding and team work.

The final count is in for Jump Rope for Heart! Elizabeth Ide students as a whole raised $5,225. Thank you to everyone to make the event a success!
