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
