Parents,
We will be finishing President's Testing with Grades 3-8. The testing consists of a series of Physical Education tests that gauge muscular strength, muscular endurance, speed and quickness, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. The tests include pull-ups, curl-ups, flex arm hang, shuttle run, pushups, sit and reach, mile run (jog) and I have added an additional test and that is the pole climb on the playground. The idea is all students will show improvement from their first quarter testing. We have started or will be starting the mile for many of our classes. Students that have an inhaler, please make sure it is with them.

Tuesday February 25 "B" Day (8th Grade has PE)
Thursday February 27 "C" Day (6th Grade has PE)
Friday February 28 "A" Day (7th Grade has PE)
Middle school should continue to work on their Olympic Project. Once students are finished, they will be turning their typed papers in to me (and they may do that any time between now and Monday March 3). Once I have finished grading the papers, I will be giving the papers to Mrs. Amy Moran and Miss Richardson to grade based on proper grammar, spelling, and puncuation.
Grades 4-5 should continue working on their Olympic Project. Students in Grades 4-5 have a half sheet of paper that they are using for their research (5 Facts, 5 Main Rules, Equipment used, and summary of watching the sport--what happened). Students may turn their half sheet of paper in any time between now and the first week of March. We will continue to work on our basketball unit. We will start to work on proper shooting form--essentially shooting the ball with one hand and using our other hand as simply a guide on the side of the ball.
Kindergarten-third grade will continue their basketball unit. Our focus has been dribbling with our eyes up, knees bent, fingertips on the dribble, and ball below waist. We have started partner passing with one another (bounce and chest passing, and now over the head passing).
We have been working in Grades 3-8 with Math facts and key words for Language Arts that will be beneficial to the students for I-STEP preparation in PE (during stretches, dribbling basketballs, etc.).

Students may turn their half sheet of paper in any time between now and the first week of March. We will continue to work on our basketball unit. We will start to work on proper shooting form--essentially shooting the ball with one hand and using our other hand as simply a guide on the side of the ball.
Kindergarten-third grade will continue their basketball unit. Our focus has been dribbling with our eyes up, knees bent, fingertips on the dribble, and ball below waist. We have started partner passing with one another (bounce and chest passing, and now over the head passing).
We have been working in Grades 3-8 with Math facts and key words for Language Arts that will be beneficial to the students for I-STEP preparation in PE (during stretches, dribbling basketballs, etc.).
Good Luck Rams Sports Teams this Weekend!

PE Agenda February 17-21
Parents,
A reminder that we are IN SCHOOL on Monday February 17 (President's Day).
We are going to keep the same Middle School Unified Arts schedule on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday that we had previously scheduled. We based Monday on which group that we've seen the most infrequent based on snow days and 2-hour delay days.
Here is the Middle School Schedule for the Week:
Monday February 17 "B" Day (8th Grade has PE)
Tuesday February 18 "A" Day (7th Grade has PE)
Thursday February 20 "B" Day (8th Grade has PE)
Friday February 21"C" Day (6th Grade has PE)
On Monday, the 8th grade will have a work day in the Library for their Olympic Project. We will use desktop computers and I-Pads to continue to research respective sports. Flash drives would be beneficial if the students are to the typing portion of their project.
Middle school should continue to work on their Olympic Project. Once students are finished, they will be turning their typed papers in to me. Once I have finished grading the papers, I will be giving the papers to Mrs. Amy Moran and Miss Richardson to grade based on proper grammar, spelling, and puncuation.
Grades 4-5 should continue working on their Olympic Project. Students in Grades 4-5 have a half sheet of paper that they are using for their research (5 Facts, 5 Main Rules, Equipment used, and summary of watching the sport--what happened). We will also continue our basketball unit.
Kindergarten-third grade will continue their basketball unit. Our focus has been dribbling with our eyes up, knees bent, fingertips on the dribble, and ball below waist. We have started partner passing with one another (bounce passing and now chest passing).
We have been working in Grades 3-8 with Math facts and key words for Language Arts that will be beneficial to the students for I-STEP preparation in PE (during stretches, dribbling basketballs, etc.).
Happy Valentine's Day!

PE Agenda January 21-24
Parents,
We are starting a Winter Olympics Project with Grades 4-8. Students will have to research facts about the sport they select--where and when the sport was created/invented, main rules, equipment used, and finally watch the sport during the Olympics and write a summary of what was viewed. We will hold a draft for the students to select their sport.
In addition to this, Middle School will do play movement games.
Tuesday January 21--"A" Day (7th Grade has PE)
Thursday January 23--"B" Day (8th Grade has PE)
Friday January 24--"C" Day (6th Grade has PE)
We are working on a basketball unit with Grades K-5. Our focus is dribbling with knees bent, ball below waist, using fingertips, and eyes up (a challenge for the younger grades). Grades 4 and 5 will continue their unit as we progress through the Olympic project.
Have a great week!
