Happy Spring!
Wishing everyone a happy and safe spring season. Grades 3-8 will be very busy
4th quarter with Kangaroo club coming to an end and President's Fitness
challenge in full swing.
Remember as the warm weather approaches to drink lots of water and wear
sunscreen when out doors. Always wear safety equipment when riding your
bikes, scooters, rollerblading and playing spring sports.
What's going on in the gym/field:
Grades 3-5
The students are learning about safety and basic first aid. During PE
classes, students will explore and discuss different situations when safety
concerns and health related illnesses will make it necessary to take action to
help others.
The Kangaroo Club- a jumping rope club is coming to an end. The last week of
KC will be April 2. At that time, the winners(one boy and girl from each
grade level) will be announced and receive their well-deserved prize.
The units covered in grades 3-5 until the end of the year will include,
soccer, flag football, frisbee skills, outdoor leisure sports (horseshoe,
bocce, badminton), kickball, softball.
We have a lot of activities to cover in a small amount of time.
