Four Square

Four square is a great game for students at the lower levels to play because it has so many aspects that students grasp as they learn how to play. Fair play, teamwork, communication, and taking turns are all part of this game. First grade will be learning how to play while second grade should improve upon their skills from last year. Ask your students about four square and how it is played.

Book Fair/Ice cream Social

It was great to see so many people at the Book fair Thursday night. Thank you to all who helped make it a success.

This week in PE...

Students in first grade will be introduced to juggling, starting with the very basics, while second grade will be working with the cascade pattern using juggling scarves which will improve their self confidence. Kindergarten has done a great job with their movement unit and will continue to learn locomotor skills as well as other movements in the gym.

Having a ball this fall

In PE this week students will demonstrate several ball exercises as a variety of skills are introduced and developed prior to our sport units. Skills such as dribbling, passing, hitting, will be worked on, and introduced at the lower grades. Kindergarten is spending time with movements both on the tumbling mats and off as they learn the expectations of gym class.

September 17th: This Thursday is the Ice Cream Social!

OPEN HOUSE

Open house is this Wednesday for 1st and 2nd grade parents. I will be in the gym for introductions, after that you can find me in the common area with the other specials' teachers. Feel to stop by. I look forward to seeing all of you!

Students have done a great job working with various movements before we get into our other units. All grades will spend time this week working on their balance and controlled movements throughout the gym. We will also try to maximize the number of days we can be outside barring rain or bad weather!
