Having a ball in PE!

This week all grades are working on various ball skills.  First and second grade will be practicing dribbling, shooting, and passing while kindergarten will be working on throwing and catching.  We will be ending the week with students learning 4 square.  This is a great game that works on coordination and cooperative play!         Students work together to resolve problems and keep the game moving.

Into Space!

This week in Kindergarten has been doing a great job understanding the importance of spatial awareness and safety of others while still having fun!.    Students have been able to move safely using running and skipping in limited and open space.  First and second grade have been spending time working collectively as a class to demonstrate good sportsmanship and respect towards their class.  This will help create a great atmosphere for the rest of the year!


**Please encourage your students to practice tying shoes as we spent a few days the first week working on this skill.**

Welcome to PE!

Welcome to another year in P.E. All students will have P.E. everyday this year.  Please remember to send your child with gym shoes.   We started this first week of school going over expectations.  All the students have gone to various stations throughout the school to review expectations in these settings.  I look forward to a great year and getting to know you and your child throughout the year!
