Hi everyone!
     We're going for the "Gold" in P.E. class and that means doing our very best when working on our levels of physical fitness!  We'll be finishing our upper body strength tests and Grades 1-6 will be doing the "Air Chair" test.  Please be ready.
     As you know, we're continually working on many physical skills, as well as practicing positive interactions, learning about real-life skills,(responsibility, leadership, cooperation, Good Sportsmanship, etc...), and always having great fun together!  All modifications/adaptations are in place on the spot when needed.
     Your lifelong homework assignment is to exercise everyday and stay motivated so to earn healthy rewards.  Coordinate your efforts with family and friends and work together to set your healthy goals.
     During the first cycle listed, relays and tag games are in to be fit and trim.  During the next cycle, it's "Reel Jig" time in P.E. class with some Irish Folk dancing and theme-related tag games and background information.  It's FITNESS 4-EVER in Gym class and Fitness Friday, too, and that's no "blarney!"
     "Good Luck," Good Sports, as you reach for your healthy goals!  I'm very proud of you!
                                                                                       Sincerely,
                                                                                                    Miss Brill

2/26/15 to 3/4/15 or so, depending on the weather

Dear students,
     We'll be continuing our Fitness Testing, as always.  We have some upper body strengths to finish up and then we'll continue onto the "Air Chair" test for leg strength(1-6).
     During this cycle,we're on the go with "TAE-BO" JR, for a great work-out!  Students are learning there are many different avenues in team sports and individual physical activities to choose for themselves.  This particular work-out combines karate, kick-boxing, and a few dance elements.  Each student will be exercising for good health, good hearts, and strong bodies, while doing their personal best- what great goals!  Some students shared with me how they do exercise DVD's and games at home.  Way to go; especially during these cold winter days!  I will always provide adaptations as needed for any and all students with all P.E. activities.
     I'll catch up with everyone on Fitness Friday for an extra work-out for all!
     See you soon in gym class and always be ready for any challenge!   KEEP EXERCISING!!!
                                                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                                                                      Miss Brill
