March 2019


Students will be finishing their basketball unit this month.  In addition, we will begin our fitness testing prior to spring break. We will come back after spring break to start hockey.

Fourth and fifth graders have the opportunity to sign up for their last intramurals of the year.  This would be called Games.  It is kind of like another PE class.  Each time students come, they will be active in a different game.  Ms. Donar, a fifth grade teacher will be in charge of this session.  Permission slips are due by Tuesday.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Students do need to have gym shoes here daily.  This can be difficult when wearing boots.  Please know that this counts in a daily PE grade.  Please help your child remember their shoes!

If your child will be out of PE for more than one day, please remember a doctor's note is needed.  Any questions with this?  Please talk to our wonderful nurse, Mrs. Baek.

February 2019


Welcome to February!  Students are well into their tennis unit.  Third and fourth graders spend their time working on their skills playing various games on the court.  Fifth graders get into playing real games and scoring.  Please ask your child about it.  We are so fortunate to be able to have this unit in PE.  Study guides for this assessment will go home by the end of this week.  The tennis assessment will be held on Wednesday, February 13th.  We will begin our basketball unit on February 19th. 

Looking ahead:  We will be introducing Kids Heart Challenge to our students on March 4th (formally Jump Rope for Heart).  More information will be coming home.  Our celebration day in the gym for Kids Heart Challenge will be Thursday, March 21st.  Stay tuned!
