Jump Rope for Heart

Students will be learning jump rope activities over the next few weeks, while learning of the benefits to exercise! As students raise money for the American Heart Association they also learn how they are directly helping others live better lives as a result. Mrs. Mazurowski has offered to share her story with us this year! She will be sharing with the students during Jump Rope for Heart week(Feb. 22nd).

PBIS

Next week, January 24-28, Elizabeth Ide will be implementing an approach to discipline called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a proactive systems approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture needed for all students in a school to achieve social, emotional, and academic success.

We will begin by establishing clear expectations for behavior that will be taught, modeled, and reinforced across all settings and by all staff. Our week will culminate with a juggling celebration assembly.

Basketball

Skills and Team cooperation will be stressed over the next week! Students will be able to practice dribbling passing and shooting while making their classmates better teammates. Enjoy the day off tomorrow, come back ready to work!

Back in full swing!

Our pillow hockey unit is under way with great success! Students have been practicing safe technique and awesome team play. In addition to learning positions students are doing a fantastic job using strategies to help their team.

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe break! As we return to school, first and second grade will begin with pillow hockey, followed by basketball. In the next few weeks the students will also start fundraising for our annual Jump Rope for Heart. Help support a great cause!
