Parents,
We will have a different schedule this week, as we will be on an I-STEP schedule. Middle school will NOT meet for class, but Mrs. Chappelow and myself will take the General Music students in grades 6-8 for roughly 30 minutes Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday before I-STEP begins. We will be doing movement activities. Mrs. Simms and Mr. Glowinski will be doing the same thing with the Band/Choir/Annual Fund Dinner kids.
All Winter Olympic Projects for Middle School will be due Monday morning at 7:40 AM (weather permitting). There will be a penalty for late assignments turned in (I have already covered this withe the students). If students are having issues printing, assignments can be emailed to me at: kbranigan@holyspirit-indy.org prior to 7:40 AM on Monday.
Grades 4 and 5 Winter Olympic Projects will also be due on Monday (weather permitting).
I will be giving a small group of students the I-STEP this week, so my schedule will be:
Monday March 3
Grade 5 (both homerooms together)
Grade 1 (both homerooms separately)
Tuesday March 4
Grade 4 (Eastman Homeroom)
Kindergarten (Catton Homeroom)
Grade 2 (Porter Homeroom)
Wednesday March 5
This will be a normal school day without I-STEP due to it being Ash Wednesday (Mass in the AM)
Thursday March 6
Grade 5 (McMahon Homeroom)
Grade 1 (Ahonen Homeroom)
Grade 3 (DiSalvo Homeroom)
Friday March 7
Grade 4 (both homerooms together)
Grade 3 (DiSalvo Homeroom)
Grade 2 (both homerooms separately)
Have a great week!

PE Agenda for the Week of February 24-28
Parents,
Here is the Middle School Schedule for the Week:
Monday February 24 "A" Day (7th Grade has PE)
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.).
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.
