Middle School

Our schedule will be Y and YY classes on Tuesday and Z and ZZ classes on Wednesday.  We will have shortened periods on Wednesday due to the Eighth Grade Awards Ceremony at 9:00 and we will be finishing up President’s testing make-ups.  I will keep journals for current sixth and seventh grade students over the summer and we will use them again next year, rather than add more items to the class kits.

Grades 3 (including Mrs. Elliot’s class), 4, and 5

We will be finishing up with President’s testing make-ups on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Grade 2 (Mrs. Norman’s class)

We will finish our Wiffle Ball unit this week.

Enjoy Field Day on Thursday!  Field trip permission slips should have gone home today for Field Day.

Middle School

We will be finishing up with President’s testing over the next few classes.  As a reminder, President’s testing is a series of Physical Education tests that gauge muscular strength, muscular endurance, speed and quickness, and flexibility among others.  The tests include pull-ups, curl-ups, flex arm hang, shuttle run, pushups, sit and reach, mile run, and I have added an additional test and that is the pole climb on the playground.  Students must show progress from their first quarter results and we will be tracking results in journals.  We are not yet done with the mile in every class, so we will be continuing until finished—please have students bring inhalers if they have them or need them.

Grade 2 (Mrs. Norman’s class)

We will continue a Wiffle Ball unit.  We will start playing games this week and we will use “pitcher’s hand”—if the fielding team gets the ball back to the pitcher before the hitter runs from home to first base, the hitter is out.

First Grade and Kindergarten

We will continue our soccer unit.  We will play soccer games this week.  The classes will be broken up into small teams, so there is more of an opportunity for sharing the ball with one another as we play.

Preschool

This past Friday was our last day of class for the year.  The preschool will have their graduation next Friday.

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.

Grade 2 (Mrs. Norman’s class)

We will continue a Wiffle Ball unit.  We have been working in stations on throwing and catching, swinging the bat level, and fielding.  We have been working on force outs vs. non-force outs and started hitting the ball last week.  We will continue hitting this week, work on fielding, and starting the process of having the kids pitch (underhand).

First Grade and Kindergarten

We will continue our soccer unit.  We will continue station work this week on kicking a long distance using the toe (rather than the inside of our foot for short distance) of our foot and stopping the ball by putting our foot on top of it and working on goalie skills—catching and blocking the ball with our hands.  We have started to dribble the soccer ball in between cones as well and will add kicking to a partner after we dribble to simulate playing an actual soccer game, which we will start soon.

Preschool

We will work on our stretches and throw beanbags underhand with a partner.

 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.
