Heart Health

As we approach our Jump Rope for Heart event, students will be learning different heart facts over the next few weeks.  The older grades will be able to take their pulse and kindergarten will understand that exercise affects our heart beat.

**Heart fact**  Your heart beats about 35 million times a year!

What a hit!

Tennis has become a hit, and students did a great job last week showing good control and coordination.  This week the students will be learning forehand and backhand hits.  Students in second grade will also learn to rally with a partner.

**Be sure to dress warm this week as the weather is really cold!**

Tennis and Jumping for Heart!

Students will see a quick video this week explaining the importance of staying healthy and fundraising for a great cause.  This will kick off our Jump Rope for Heart event.  The event will end will a celebration of the students efforts of fundraising and awareness.   The rest of the week students at all grades will be starting tennis skills, working especially on eye hand coordination.

Welcome Back!

As we return from a nice winter break,  we will finish up our basketball unit by learning the rules and understand that this is a great team game.  Kindergarten will be continuing to practice their jump rope skills while being introduced to rock climbing as we incorporate stations into P.E.  Welcome back!!!
