We are wrapping up with President’s testing with middle school this week (third, fourth, and fifth grades have completed the testing). We will be talking about goals for the fourth quarter testing—realistic goals, but also how do we get to where we are now to where we want to go in the fourth quarter.
The Fall Program (20th), put on by Mrs. Simms, will have rehearsal practices on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week (17th, 18th, and 19th). The practices will take place between 10:00 and 11:20 and because of this, it will affect PE class time for grades 4 and 5. I will see Mrs. Eastman’s classes on Thursday and Mrs. Glenn’s class on Thursday and Friday, at normal times. I will not see Mrs. McMahon’s class this week.
We are also participating in a program called Get Active Get Fit in kindergarten-eighth grade. Students will fill out an activity sheet that lists what activities and the length of the activities. The program will run through November 26. The goal is to have each student active for a minimum of 20 minutes daily.
Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade will finish their work with the balance beam. We will continue to incorporate balance into jump rope work in class along with tag games that involve balance and coordination.
Preschool will continue to work on being active during class.
As always, it is expected that each student is to come to class each day with their gym uniform, have a good attitude, ready to learn, and ready to work.
