P.E. Agenda April 29-May 3

Parents,

As a reminder, this is I-STEP week and the schedule has changed a bit because of it.

We had the Middle School Unified Arts calendar blocked out the entire week to have our 20-minutes of fitness in the mornings to prepare for I-STEP.

However, Mrs. Chappelow is in need of middle school students to finish projects before the Annual Fund Dinner and I am in need of students to do President's Testing.

Middle School Unified Arts Schedule
Monday April 29--8th Grade will have PE and Art
Tuesdsay April 30--7th Grade will have PE and Art
Wednesday May 1--7th Grade will again have PE and Art (Mass Day is Friday May 3 this week)
Thursday May 2--8th Grade will again have PE and Art

Unless the plan changes, the 6th Grade will NOT have PE this week.

Third Grade, Fourth Grade, and Fifth Grade will continue to work on President's Testing.

Second Grade will continue to work on a Soccer Unit.

I will not see Kindergarten this week and the plan for now is for me not to have First Grade (Ahonen) homeroom either.  If I-STEP is completed by Thursday, I will see First Grade (Chandler homeroom) Friday afternoon only.

Please make sure students are getting enough rest at night and eating a healthy breakfast in the morning.

Have a great week!

P.E. Agenda April 22-26

Parents,

Grades 3-7 will continue to work on President's Testing this week.  The goal is for students to improve on their result from the first quarter.

We will also work on an I-STEP question in class to prepare the students for I-STEP (next week).

I will not see the 8th grade this week due to their D.C. trip.

Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade will all start a soccer unit, focusing on partner kicking--short and long distances.


Have a great week!

P.E. Agenda April 15-19

Parents,

The Spring Book Fair will be held in the gym all week, so we would like to be outside for class.  Please have students prepared to be outside (sweatshirts and sweatpants over their PE uniforms).  If the weather is poor, we will be in classrooms.

Our next round of I-STEP is rapidly approaching (April 29-May 3), so we will be incorporating an I-STEP question into PE classes (Grades 3-8).  This round of I-STEP includes multiple choice questions, so that will be our focus with both Math and Language Arts.

Grades 3-8 have started President's Testing.  Students are expected to improve on their quarter 1 result.  Middle school students will be putting their current results in their journal.

Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade have all been working with freeze dance, dancing to the rhythm and mood of the music.  We will finish this activity up this week.  We will also start a soccer unit beginning next week.

Have a great week!
