This week

Kids will be using the Idance this week for some excitment.

Fitnessgram

During the month of September the 2-4 graders participated in the Fitnessgram fitness assessment program.  The kids overall had a very good attitude and performed well.  Fitness is always a hard sell especially with kids who have a hard time understanding its importance and the effort needed to do as well as possible.  Understanding how to push ones self is only found within.

Welcome Back!!

I hope everyone had an exciting and active summer, I know I did with three young kids at home.  Just a couple reminders for the school year, please have gym shoes for your children for class and if you have helmets at home feel free to send them with your child during our biking and rollerblading units. 

During the first week of class the K-4 students will be involved in relay races and parachutes as an ice breaker for the new year.  The second and third week K-1 will play tagging and fleeing games and the 2-4 grades will be starting their fitnessgram fitness tests.  The next two weeks will be spent biking in grades K-4, so if you want to send helmets that would be great.

Welcome back and enjoy the new school year!
