11/13/15 to 12/2/15

Dear Students and families,
     We will continue our "Standing Broad Jump" test for leg strength and power.  I'm so glad to see your efforts and improvements in all you do!
     You have been doing a great job with our Circuit Training Challenge- WELL DONE!!! Our gym turkey looks awesome with class feathers representing your great efforts in this physical fitness challenge!
     We've been "kickin' it up" and practicing soccer skills  and we'll apply these soccer skills with some friendly competition in a game situation.  Pass the words: "Good Sports are always winners when they do their best and work together!"
     Our younger classes will participate in a variety of Thanksgiving theme-related activities for added fun and exercise.  Some will learn to set the Thanksgiving Table in the form of a relay race using gym equipment, so they can transfer their knowledge and be good helpers at home in setting the table.  Some of our youngest students will "Dance with the Stars," while performing a Turkey Tango-style dance!  If time allows' we'll participate in some tag games with a Thanksgiving theme.
     As always, adaptations and modifications are always made in P.E. Class.  It's important for all to feel successful!
Students will be telling me what they are thankful for.. I am thankful for many things, especially "Good Sports."  GO TEAM!!!  Keep exercising over the Holiday break.  I'd like to wish you and your families and friends a very "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"  See you soon!  Sincerely, Miss Brill

Dear Good Sports and families,
     During the month of November, our P.E. students will be building our Gym Turkey with "Class Feathers" representing great efforts by all in a Circuit Training Challenge.  We will continue our jumping test, practice and enjoy some locomotor fun and relay action.
     We will practice a variety of scooter skills as well as a variety of other physical skills at stations for students to practice and work on self-improvement.  As always, adaptations are always made for each and every activity.  We will be highlighting locomotor skills during this cycle.
     Our "10 pt." contest winners will be rewarded with treats from me for "class " efforts.  A "10" is indicative of cooperative efforts, behavioral accountability and Good Sportsmanship.  If each class earns a "10" every P.E. class for the first marking period, I am so happy to reward them with a treat!  Go Good Sports!  As always, individual efforts and abilities are rewarded and earned with their report card grade.
     Looking  forward to seeing you in our next P.E. Class!      Sincerely,  Miss Brill

10/21/15 to 11/3/15

Dear students,
     We've been working on "Kid's Choice" activities for these two cycles.  We exercised the "voting" process for our favorite choices and all will always be Good Sports.  We continued to rattle our "Mr. Bones" (Skeletal System Activity) and as always, I'm up for a good joke to exercise our funny bone!
     Our next fitness test will be the "Standing Broad Jump", an indicator of leg strength and power for all grade levels.
     Always do your best in P.E. class and everywhere.  We are proud of all of our N.S. Good Sports!
                     See you soon!                     Sincerely,   Miss Brill
