11/6/14 to 12/3/14, Inclusive

Dear Students,
     We will continue our jumping test for leg strength and continue our Circuit Training Challenge promoting physical fitness.  Our K-2 students will continue to enjoy some locomotor fun and rhythms and evaluation of these skills.
     We will all be "kickin' it up" for Soccer skills practice and apply these skills in in great games with friendly competition.  Pass the words: "Good Sports are always winners when they do their best while working together. We will always provide adaptations as needed in every P.E. Class.
     As able, we will include Thanksgiving-related activities for added fun.  Our youngest students will "Dance with the Stars" and perform a Turkey-Tango style dance!  Students will be discussing and possibly writing what they are thankful for.  I am thankful for "Good Sports!"
     During P.E. Class in one of our cycles, we will be involved in the "Bowl for Kid's Sake" fund-raiser for Big Brothers and Big Sisters.  This program at N.S. benefits students at NSE who have a Big Brother/Big Sister from the H.S., who take the time to have important "special time" and our students enrolled greatly benefit from this interaction in a positive environment.
     Keep exercising with me on Fitness Friday and remember to exercise over the Holiday Break!  Go Good Sports!    Go Spartans!!!  "Happy Thanksgiving" to everyone!       Sincerely,    Miss Brill

10/30/14 to 11/5/14

Dear Students,
     We will begin/continue our fitness test for leg strength by performing the "Standing Broad Jump."  We are always trying  to improve upon previous scores and do our best!  We will practice at various skills stations while I do testing.  As always, adaptations are made for any activity as needed in P.E. class.
     During a few cycles or so, we will be building our Gym Turkey with "Class Feathers" representing great efforts and awesome participation by all in a Circuit Training Challenge!  We always like to motivate students and promote physical fitness with variety!
     K-2 will practice and perform locomotor skills and fun rhythms.  Grades 3-6 will enjoy some relay action incorporating locomotor skills.
     Our 10 point contest, " A 10 Wins in Gym," winners were announced and will receive their treats in their next gym class.  Those "classes" who received  "10's" in every gym class during the 1st Mk.Pd. demonstrated best "class" behaviors, cooperation and participation.  Individual efforts are reflected on our report card.
     Remember to exercise with me on Fitness Friday and always do your best at school.
                                                     KEEP EXERCISING!!!!    Sincerely,  Miss Brill
