This Week's Agenda

The eighth grade will continue with President’s testing.  The focus is “doing our personal best” along with comparing our results from fourth quarter to first quarter’s results.

Grades 3 (Elliot homeroom included), grade 4, and grade 5 will all be working on President’s testing focusing on our personal best.

Grade 2 (O’Neal) will work on a Wiffle Ball unit.  We will use the information that we worked on from our kickball unit, and tie that information in with previous playing experiences with baseball or softball to form our Wiffle Ball unit.  The focus is to gain experience along with teamwork and hand-eye coordination.

Kindergarten and first grade will all have class only one time this week (Hill Monday only, Catton Tuesday only, and Ahonen Wednesday only).  Mrs. Simms will be using our regular gym time to practice with each of these grades for the Spring Program.  If the weather cooperates, we will be outside for our one class with each grade level. 

Preschool will play some games with the parachute again this week after a two-week layoff.

This Week's Agenda

The eighth grade will start their fourth quarter on Monday (General Music students) or Tuesday (Band/Choir students).  Students will turn in their journals on those respective days as well.  We will start President’s testing and will compare results from first quarter with our results in the fourth quarter.  The General Music students (Monday and Friday) will not meet on Friday due to Stations of the Cross practice.

Grades 4 and 5 (Eastman, McMahon, Welty) start President’s testing.  Our focus will be doing our personal best each day of testing.  We will only with meet with Mrs. McMahon’s group once this week (Thursday) because of the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday.

Mrs. Elliot and Mrs. Norman’s classes (2/3 split and third grade) will work on a couple of movement games and we will talk about President’s testing, which will begin next week.  We will only meet with each group once this week with our early dismissal on Good Friday.

Second grade (O’Neal) will revisit their kickball unit from first quarter.  We will talk about situational elements of the game and play.  This will be our final week of gym class until the second week of May because of practices for the Spring Program that will take place during our normal gym time.  Please encourage students to be active after school during the time we will not meet for class.

Kindergarten and first grade will continue to use the parachute.  The students learned some different activities this past week that they really enjoyed.  Just like the second grade, our gym schedules will be a little spotty over the next couple of weeks with Easter Monday and practices for the Spring Program, so please encourage students to be active after school on the days that we will not meet for class.

Preschool will not meet this week on Friday because of our early dismissal for Good Friday.

This Week's Agenda

The Spring Book Fair will be in the gym Tuesday-Friday (April 12-15).  If the weather is decent or nice, we will be outside for PE classes or in the classrooms if Mother Nature does not cooperate.  Please have students check the weather each day to see if they need to have sweatpants and sweatshirts over their normal gym uniforms.

The seventh grade will finish their fourth quarter this week.  We will conclude President’s testing and give folders back to students.

Grades 4 and 5 (Eastman, McMahon, Welty) will play movement games and play some relay races.  We will discuss nutrition, if we happen to be inside for class.

Preschool, first grade, second grade, and third grade will play movement games and use the parachute if the weather cooperates.
