10/2/12 to 10/9/12          Hey there , Good Sports!  We should be finishing up our Shuttle Run and Dash tests  within the next week or two and also finish taking re-tests as needed. We're "on a roll" in P.E. class during this cycle with some great Cageball fun, promoting team efforts and cooperation, throwing skills, and following game and safety rules.  Our youngest students will participate in a "Spiders" movement activity incorporating the crab walk when they "travel" along a special pathway.  As always, adaptations will be in place for anyone needing them.  If time, some classes will be able to participate in a game using a "buddy" system promoting helpfulness and assistance.  We will practice and expand our skeletal vocabulary and promote reading via our "Mr. Bones" activity. ( It's a fun activity reinforcing learning about the skeletal system).  Students, please exercise with me on Fitness Friday and encourage others, too.  I'll look for you when I am able to do some Walking Clubs.  Don't forget to wear your sneakers for gym class and bring your smiles.      Keep exercising!!!                  Sincerely, Miss Brill
