The upper elementary is learning basic football skills and terms. They are all doing well and seem to enjoy it more each day. I plan to have a game situation for them next week. Lower elementary students continue to work on throwing and catching skills and teamwork playing wall ball, and the extended day is throwing and catching independently. I am having a great time meeting more of the young children each morning some of them look forward to visiting everyday.
If you don't take care of your body, where will you live for the rest of your life?

The elementary students are learning "wall ball" a catching and throwing. We will continue with variations of this for a few weeks so that everyone has plenty of time develop better skills.
The primary students are well doing well using the gym as a part of their morning work period. An average of 40 students come between 9:00 and 11:00 each morning and spend about 20 minutes. It seems to be going great, I would enjoy hearing any feedback.

Primary P.E. by choice is off to a great start. Each day more students are in the gym and active for about twenty minutes at a time. Up to three primary students from each class can choose to come any time between 9:05 and 11:00. So far it seems to be going well. I would enjoy your feedback.
The Elementary students have begun to do the Fitnessgram testing and you could expect to see the results in about two weeks. Everyone is off to a good start, keep working on those push ups!

The lower elementary students have started swimming on Tuesdays. They will swim for a total of ten weeks and taking American Red Cross lessons at the Civic center. If you have a swimmer please send their swimming gear in a backpack or bag. All of the children seem to be doing well so far. Please contact me with any questions or comments.

We have a cross country team consisting of 5 upper elementary students, and their entire class is running the mile each week during P.E. with them. The younger students have been working on throwing and catching alone and will try with a partner next week. As always, please let me know if you or your child have any questions. Have a great week!

It has been great seeing all of the returning students and meeting some new friends. I hope the start of the school year has been smooth for you and your family. I am looking forward to a fun year with your children and hope that they are telling you about some of the activities we do in the gym each day. Always contact me with any comments, your input is so helpful to me as I get to know your child and make a plan that works for everyone. Thank you!
