Happy October!
Third graders see me FIRST thing in the morning. Chances are there will be dew on the grass at some point. The students will get their socks/shoes wet. It is a good idea for the third graders to bring an extra pair of shoes and socks for after PE. We do go outside weather permitting. We could potentially be outside until Columbus Day weekend.
Our soccer unit will be ending this week. The students have really enjoy being active by practicing the skills they have learned. Study guides will go this week. The first online assessment will be Tuesday, October 8th. Please help your child review for this online assessment. There will be ten questions.
Fitness testing for fourth and fifth graders are happening this month. Third graders will "practice" the fitness testing however, formal scores will not be taken until fourth grade. The fitness tests include the pacer, the sit and reach, the curl up test, and the push up test. The goal is to have your child in the healthy fitness zone for their age group by time they reach ten years old. There is no data for before that age.
After fitness testing, we will go into our Net Games unit.
Any questions? Please ask!
