Parents,
Due to our schedule the week of Memorial Day, several classes will be finished with P.E. for the year this week--Kindergarten, Ahonen homeroom, DiSalvo homeroom, Fifth Grade, and Sixth Grade.
We are finishing up President's Testing in grades 3-8. Upon completion, we will be spending a few minutes in class coming up with ways that we can stay active over the summer and ways to improve on President's Testing for next school year.
Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade will be playing soccer games this week. We will use small groupings so that each student has an opportunity in full participation. We certainly are looking for goals to be scored, but the main idea is passing the ball to teammates and teamwork in general, using the skills that we have worked on in class.
Have a great week!

P.E. Agenda May 13-17
Parents,
We will be finishing up President's Testing in Grades 4-8. Students have really been working hard to improve their results from First Quarter.
Third Grade finished up this past week. We will be working on ways to improve for next year.
Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade are working on soccer units. We have learned about kicking short and long distances. We will be incorporating both types of kicking into the goal and use a goalie in station work. We will be starting to play soccer games in small groups to give each student as many opportunities to score as possible.
Good Luck Track and 56 Kickball!
Have a Great Week!

P.E. Agenda May 6-10
Parents,
As a reminder the Annual Fund Dinner will take place in the gym on Thursday May 9. Due to this, we will be out of the gym Wednesday and Thursday this week. Friday is a noon dismissal.
The Middle School Schedule
Monday May 6--"C" Day--8th Grade has PE
Tuesday May 7--"A" Day--7th Grade has PE
Thursday May 9--"B" Day--6th Grade has PE
Friday May 10--"C" Day--8th Grade has PE
We will continue President's Testing in Grades 3-8. We are nearing mile time. If a student has asthma and they have an inhaler, please make sure it will be with them each day they have PE, in the event we do the mile that particular day.
We will continue our Soccer Unit with Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade. We have been working on short distance kicking, and playing a game that involves short distance kicking with the A,B, C's. We will be starting long distance kicking--using our toe (tip of shoe) to get underneath of the ball instead of the middle inside part of shoe for short distance kicking.
Good luck to any and all who are running the Mini on Saturday!

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 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.
