9/10/14-9/16/14

Dear Good Sports and Families,
     Students, Please remember to wear your sneakers, as we have begun our Fitness test for running speed and agility.  Kindergarten students will be doing the  "Dash" and 1st - 6th grade will be doing the " Shuttle Run."  Adaptations will always be made as needed for this and any activity.  We will compare previous results, if able, to check for individual improvements. 
     For our younger students, please practice tying your shoelaces, at home, if your sneakers have shoelaces.  We have found some great "helpers" to assist in that task for those who still need help. 
     We have incorporated our skills stations, where we practice various physical skills; i.e., locomotor lane, basket shots, hula hoops, jump ropes, and so on, where students take turns, are active, as well as evaluate their efforts.
     We have our " 10 Wins in gym" Contest in gear.  It is a "class" contest where our students demonstrate great participation, cooperative efforts, and positive behaviors through-out the marking period.  Those classes receiving all 10's will receive treats from me at report card time.  Individual great efforts are rewarded on report cards.  Way to go!
     Thank you for doing your best when you come to P.E. Class and being Good Sports! 
     This cycle we will be participating in Parachute Activities.  It is a great cooperative activity, where we all work together as a team and it's super fun!!!
     I enjoyed hearing from my classes that they were participating with me in  our Fitness Friday activity, as were many staff members, too.  Of course we follow all Drs. notes. 
     Always encourage others to be active.  Keep yourself and family motivated to exercise for good health.  You're AWESOME!!!!!!!  See you in P.E.Class and keep Exercising!
                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                                       Miss Brill
