We participated in Parachute Activities during the 9/15 cycle. Not only is it a great cooperative activity, but it's great fun! Our youngest students enjoyed making a tent and we pretended to be camping out, while students loved bringing marshmallows, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc..., using their great imaginations to add to our fun! While we made various shapes, did the birthday game with everyone; our older classes particularly enjoyed the "Hole in One"game with " friendly " competition and cooperation with our red and blue teams. A mandatory rule is for all to say "Good Game," to complete our activity on a positive note, showing great sportsmanship! On a personal note, I shared with my classes that my brother was a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne division in the Army. I told my classes I was very proud of him, but I prefer to play with the parachute "on the ground!" They enjoyed my story and shared some of their own family members' stories and their services in our Military.
We have been working on our speed and agility with our"Dash and Shuttle Run" tests. As always, adaptations are in place for all activities in P.E. Class. We continue to practice many physical skills at our stations while do testing. K-2 students, please practice tying shoelaces. I am grateful for our great helpers who assist me in gym class with tying shoes!
During the next 2 cycles, we will finish our running tests and re-test those with an"N" who may want to improve their scores.Way to go for effort!!!
We include vocabulary in our P.E. lessons. Our vocabulary word during these cycles is "accurate," while doing a file relay for passing and receiving for 3-6, and a football throw at targets for K-2. Accuracy is important in being successful across the board. All students will enjoy "Flag Tag" activities. All students will have opportunities to evaluate their performance by returning feedback to me. Our 3-6 students will practice and understand the concepts of offense and defense for extra challenges and fun! We may include some CD fun with our K-2 students, as well as,on Friday include a Fitness Friday activity during class. Do a great job on October 2nd with our Pep Rally. The ENERGY is on- Go SPARTANS!!! Keep exercising! See you soon!
Sincerely,
Miss Brill

8/30/15 to 9/14/15, Inclusive
Welcome back Good Sports and Families. Hope you had a great summer and you were active and had fun!
I'm always looking forward to great P.E. classes with you, so please bring those smiles and wear your sneakers. "Fitness and Fun" will always be our theme, via various avenues, as well as practicing and improving many skills, with adaptations in place as needed. We will always reinforce our rules, stay organized, and work together as a gym "team" reaching for healthy goals in a positive, safe environment, while reinforcing P.E. Standards and behavior management and cooperation.
As of now, our Fitness Friday activity will be done in our P.E. classroom on occasion. Remember, regular exercise boosts academic performance! Way to go when you are active at school and also outside of school.
During our first 2 cycles, we will participate in many students' favorite activity: tag games. Tag games promote great exercise, honesty and Good Sportsmanship. Tag games develop running(or other locomotor skills as directed), dodging and proper tagging skills, body control , game and safety rules and most of all, tag games are "fun!" These activities will get us going for our first physical fitness test for running: "Dash"-K; "Shuttle Run"-1-6.Speed& Agility). As previously mentioned, adaptations and modifications are always made and applied for those needing them.
In our P.E. Classes, we are totally engaged in "real-life" skills, demonstrating teamwork, checking our thinking skills with essential questions, showing responsibility, making good choices, following activity rules, moving safely, and being respectful "Good Sports."
Another application of real-life skills is having a different "Leader Squad" each week assist in leading warm-ups, assisting with games, skills stations, and helping with equipment needs. Thank you, great helpers! You will be great Leaders in your future and you will be successful.
Please remember, there are activities and special goals to suit everyone. In the meantime, practice your skills and KEEP EXERCISING !!! I'll see you soon in P.E. Class! Sincerely, Miss Brill
