Happy December! Basketball Season is in full gear and we have recently
finished our basketball unit with the middle and upper grades. We are
currently beginning our floor hockey unit. Hockey will last until Christmas
break.
The Theme for this quarter is Team Work and Cooperation. We are also
emphasizing having a positive attitude.
The lower grades are working on strengthening our muscles through a number
of basic exercises such as push ups, jumping jacks, squats, lunges, etc. We
have also been doing an amazing job working on our endurance. Each class we
begin with a 10 minute walk/ jog. We began with a 2 minute walk followed by
a 1 minute run and alternated that throughout the 10 minutes. We are now up
to a 1 minute walk followed by a 3 minute jog. The goal is to reach a 10
minute jog before the holidays!
As always we are looking for gently used P.E. equipment. Specifically
some portable, adjustable basketball goals.
Thanks and keep moving!!
