Dancing!

Dancing is a great way to be active while having fun doing it. Students enjoy the different dances that they learn each year, while reviewing a few they have done before. All grades will be learning dances with difficulty increasing in each grade. Ask your son or daughter which dances they have been learning over the next couple of weeks.

Please remember to support Jump Rope for Heart. Each grade is participating in a friendly competition against the other grades for a reward during gym class.

Jump Rope for Heart!

This is the third year in a row that Elizabeth Ide will participate in Jump Rope for Heart. All grades will be doing jump rope activities during the week leading up to February 19th. Students will be shown a video, explaining the ways to get donations.

This is a great cause please support our students and our school as we hope to have another successful year!

Face Off!

This week pillow hockey will be in full swing! Students have spent time all last week demonstrating skills needed to play. Students will get a chance to play many positions and many games throughout the week. Because this is an intense physical activity, the games will be short with plenty of time to rest.

Welcome Back!

With the start of a new year we are back in full swing with a new unit. Pillow hockey will be introduced with emphasis on skills and safety. While the sticks we will be using are padded, their is still a risk for injury. Once skills are learned students, will learn positions and play games.

Jump Rope for Heart will be February 19th this year!
