KICKBALL

As we approach the end of the trimester, students have finished the basketball unit and are moving onto another team sport. Kickball is a great sport for cooperation. Students will need to work together, while working on skills that can be applied to other sports such as baseball or softball. Rules will be covered this week and we will begin games when we get back from Thanksgiving break!

Scootin' along

Kindergarten is starting to learn safety rules for using the scooters as they learn various games. Students know how the scooters should be used and the consequences for not using the scooters safely.
The weather is changing very rapidly as we approach December. Please send your children to school with appropriate clothing, and remind them to wear their jackets when going to and from school.

There is no "I" in team!

I hope everyone had a safe, long, relaxing weekend! As we start this week, both first grade and second grade will be starting their basketball units. Emphasis will be put on individual skills and improving everyday. As we proceed emphasis will switch to team play and sportsmanship.
