Shoes!!

Parents please help your students to remember their PE shoes on PE days!! We have had quite an issue this year with students "forgetting" their PE shoes.

The PE rotation is fairly simple- your child will have PE on either Monday & Wednesday OR on Tuesday & Thursday. The only semi-confusing part is they will have PE on alternating Fridays. So if they have PE one Friday they will not have PE on the next Friday!

Thanks so much!

Start of the year update!!

Great start to the year so far. It’s been a little hectic…but we’ve gotten a lot done. Here are some of the things we’ve done so far this year:

1- Got a new gym floor!!!!!

2- Practiced Fire drills and severe weather drills

3- Did Fitness Gram pre-tests

4- Taught warm up walls

a. Taught the new students and all of kindergarten the routines we use in the gym

b. Gave the kindergartners plenty of extra time to learn all the new things going on!

c. Routines for going outside

5- Reviewed and introduced various large group and “rainy day” activities

6- Learned all sorts of skills

a. Throwing

b. Catching

7- Coach Jones won his 3^rd State Championship in a row in volleyball….remember I coach at Pope High School.

8- Had fitness Friday games

9- Introduced basic basketball skills

10- Introduced basic football skills

11- Participated in Red Ribbon Week

Now that it’s beginning to get cooler outside….please everyone remember your jackets!! Also, remember to TAKE YOUR JACKET WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE!! We have already donated several jackets to goodwill this year. We spent over a week trying to find the students all the jackets belonged to…but we just couldn’t find all the homes for all the jackets!! This happens each year when the weather starts to change, but this year seems to have brought even more than in years past!!

Thanks!
