Getting ready for the break!

Well, a lot has gone on in PE since my last post (oops!). We have worked on all sorts of skills and activities. We have been able to get outside a decent amount of time this year, but...as you can tell, it's a little too cold for outside activities now!

Up next we will be hitting our cold weather activities, all of our indoor only units. We will be touching on skills from gymnastics, basketball, jump rope, floor hockey and dance. We are currently in our basketball unit. We have been working on dribbling for the last couple days. The students have been improving each day. Up next we are going to work on shooting and passing.

Stay warm over the break, and I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!

Opening and Somewhat Random PE Thoughts!

It's that time of the year again, time for fitness testing. Over the next week or two we will be taking all students, 1st - 5th grade, through the Fitness Gram testing.

We will only be keeping scores on the 3rd-5th graders. 1st and 2nd will be participating in the tests, but it's treated more like a "practice." This is done to familiarize them with the different tests so when they get to 3rd grade they'll be good to go.

The Kindergarten classes are being introduced to the gym routines and procedures. We have just wrapped up learning our warm-ups, and most of them are pros at knowing their squad and where to go!

Throughout the 2010-2011 school year Fridays will become "Fitness Fridays." Each activity we do on FF's will be centered around fitness. Our first official FF was today! Our activity today was 4 corner fitness. It went great!! There were a lot of hot and sweaty students leaving the gym!!

It's been a good start to the school year so far!

Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising

Next week (March 29- April 2) we will be running our fundraiser to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). The CFF introduced the program just last year. They call it Cure Finders. Cure Finders has 2 main goals- 1.) Increase Cystic Fibrosis (CF) awareness & 2.) Raise funds for the battle against CF.

If you ever bring up CF in a conversation chances are the person you are talking to will say something like, “I don’t really know much about CF.” It’s a pretty common thing to hear. Well, I have learned a ton about CF over the last 20 months. You see, my wife and I had our 3rd child in July of 2008, our first boy! We named him Bryce. At just 3 weeks of age Bryce was diagnosed with CF. This came as a huge shock to my wife and I. Neither one of us had any family history with CF, come to find out, that’s pretty common. 90% of carriers have no idea they carry the defective gene. The diagnosis forced us to jump head first into the CF world. We have learned a ton over the last 20 months.

There are several places on the internet where you can learn more about CF and the impact it has, but let me warn you- some of the info out there gives worst case scenarios. A good reliable site for information is the CF Foundation's site: www.cff.org

The CFF funds 90% of the 115 accredited research and treatment centers across the country. Without funding from the CFF those centers would be forced to shut their doors. The CFF is an awesome non-profit organization. They put 90 cents from every dollar straight to research and care of CF. I'm not sure how much you guys know about other non-profits, but trust me- that is incredible.

Here at Davis we will be participating in a school wide fundraiser to benefit the CF Foundation. Every penny (literally) we bring in will go straight to the CFF. Below is a quick look at the participation opportunities for the students:

Jar Wars!!
This is a class Vs class competition. Each teacher was given an empty glass jar this week. We will be competing to see which class can raise the most money in their jar throughout the week. We will be challenging the students to bring in a different denomination of money each day of the week:
Monday- Pennies
Tuesday- Nickels
Wednesday- Dimes
Thursday- Quarters
Friday- Dollars (all paper money welcome- including checks made out to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation)

Selling CF Awareness bracelets:
Each morning we will be selling awareness bracelets in the gym for $2.00. Students can buy as many as they'd like. Al money raised will go straight to our school's grand total for the CFF.

Hat Day:
Tuesday and Thursday only- we will be selling hat stickers in the gym for $1.00. If students purchase a hat sticker they will be able to wear their hat throughout the school day! Again, all money raised from hat stickers will go towards our school's total for the CFF.

For those who are new to Davis or have been under a rock- last year we raised the most money out of any school in Georgia. Since we were able to accomplish this feat we won a visit from the CFF's honorary celebrity chair- Chipper Jones. It was a great day. The kids loved it!! We are hoping to win this honor again this year. I'm sure the kids would love a 2nd visit from Chipper!!

If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer to help out, please let me know. You can e-mail me at: bryan.jones@cobbk12.org

Thanks for your support!!!
Coach Jones
