Field Day 2016!!

Parents and students....information for Field Day will be going home soon!! Be on the lookout! We will be selling field day shirts again this year for the students to purchase. Field day shirts are an awesome way to show your school spirit! Shirts will be sold up until Wednesday, April 27. We will not be taking any additional orders after the 27th.
Shirts will be sold for $8.00, and order forms will be coming home this week! This only give us about a week and a half to get our order forms and payment in!!


I am really pleased with this year's design! I went back to a slight old school look...parents you will get it, or at least you should get it!
Shirts will be a midnight blue for grades Kindergarten through 4th.
The 5th graders will be ordering certain color shirts depending on which class they are in:
Bell will be in Turquoise
Bujnoch will be in Lime Green
Branch will be in Orange
Daniels will be in Hot Pink


Parents- We WILL NEED volunteers. So if you are interested in helping please be on the look out for the volunteer form! It will be attached to your students' T-shirt order form!!


thanks and Go Field Day!!

Spring is here!!

Man, I still can't believe it's already April! This year is flying by. We have done a ton of units this year, and have mainly been inside over the last few months!
Over these next 5 to 6 weeks we hope to be getting outside a little more often. We love getting outside, but please remember a couple things-
-Proper shoes: sandals, flip-flops, and crocs are not good PE shoes.
-Proper clothing: fancy dresses and dress clothes don't really work well for most all outdoor PE activities.


Obviously we won't be able to get outside everyday, but we are going to be making it a point to try and get out more often! Up next on the books for us- SOCCER!!
Once soccer is complete, we will be squeezing in our fitness testing, but that shouldn't take more than a few days. Then it's back outside we go!


thanks and here's to the next 6 weeks going great!!

PS- Have a great Spring Break!!

March Madness!!

March Madness is going on in PE....sort of. We actually are having a big hockey unit right now. Coach Ames, from KSU, has been teaching grades 2- 5 all sort of pretty cool hockey skills. The students are doing great with it! We have broken a couple hockey sticks, but the students are staying safe and having a blast!
We will soon have the older grade (4th and 5th) competing in some structured, competitive game settings. This will be a great opportunity for the students to show off the skills they have been working on, and to demonstrate the different tactics that have been introduced!


Go Hockey!!

Introducing....

Just wanted to let everyone know we have a new addition to the gym. We have a student teacher from Kennesaw State University. His name is Cody Ames (Coach Ames). Coach Ames has been with us for a couple week, and it fitting in great! He will be with us up until the beginning of May. Actually, this week he is starting to take over for some lessons, and next week (after the break) he will take over in a larger role.
If any of you parents swing into the school be sure to say hello to Coach Ames!
