10/14/15 to 10/20/15

     Dear Students,
           I'm inviting all of my P.E. Classes to go for my fitness challenge during this cycle, so everyone get ready for our OBSTACLE COURSE!!  You can earn a certificate by avoiding the paper "SPIDERS" that are hanging around and scattered through-out the course.
     There are many components of exercise included in our fun fitness challenge.  We'll enjoy music CD's to dance to while we wait for our turn and our music will keep us motivated.  There will always be adaptations made for any and all students needing them.  I'll be looking for some awesome creative moves through-out our course as well.
     We'll continue our "Mr. Bones" activity for educational fun, while reinforcing reading and our learning about the skeletal system.
     Our next physical fitness test will involve jumping for leg strength and distance.
     Please always wear your sneakers and bring your positive attitude reaching for our positive goals.
     Go NS teams- Go P.E. team!  See you soon.  Keep exercising!  Sincerely,  Miss Brill

10/6/15 to 10/13/15

     Hi Good Sports!  We are finishing our running tests and re-tests.  It's great to see my students working toward improvements!
     We are " on a roll" in P.E. class with some awesome Cageball fun- our game is called "Pumpkin Ball" and it works for all ages.  This activity promotes team effort, cooperation, and throwing skills; with students evaluating their personal throwing accuracy and as always with all students following game and safety rules.  During this cycle OR in the future our "youngest" students will participate in a "Spiders" movement activity, incorporating a crab walk or alternative or modified movement, as they travel along a rectangular pathway or suitable pathway.  Students will model movements with me and follow instructions with the music CD, thus sharpening their listening and cooperative skills.
    We will promote reading and expand upon our Skeletal vocabulary via our "Mr. Bones" activity, a visual, fun, and meaningful activity to reinforce our learning about our skeletal system and why it is important to us.
     Students, please always practice those skills you need to work on. Always bring your enthusiasm and smiles to P.E. Class!  It's great to see you having fun while improving skills and learning with me.  Keep EXERCISING, Good Sports!         Sincerely,  Miss Brill
