During remote learning, PE will look a bit different than the other subjects.  PE will be completed all asynchronously.  In the PV gym, we will have remote learners all day so therefore, I will be helping them.  Please have your child go to my google classroom daily.  There will be links that they can get up and follow.  All the links together should take your child almost all of the 25 minutes.  If you have any questions, please ask! 

PE 2020-2021

 

This year PE looks very different!  It is all about a movement break and getting the wiggles out during this time.  Most of the time, we are able to get outside and take a mask break.  YEAH!

We are not using any equipment unless we use our feet (balls).  We are being VERY SAFE!  We spend our time inside in boxes that are spaced apart.  When outside, we have areas spaced out as well.  I do remind the students often to stay in their spacing.  

We are not having our normal PE units this year.  We are focusing on foot skills and movement.  Thank you to all of my students for following the new norm in PE this year.

Cushing's Corner - Prairieview PE

Welcome back Panthers!  It has been great being able to see you again.  I am loving getting to know my third graders.  I know that teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility.  I ensure that each student will have a safe learning experience during PE.  I look forward to working with your child this year. Gym shoes are a must each day.  This is for the safety of your child. Please work on tying gym shoes if your child struggles with this.  

This year PE will look a little different.  Students will be getting their heart rate up while social distancing.  Students will be outside whenever possible.  The masks will come off during that time.  We will focus on safety, cooperation, communication, and trust.  

Feel free to reach out with any questions.  I am available through email at tcushing@ccsd66.org or

March 2019

Kids Heart Challenge is in full swing.  Please make sure and register your child online.  If you do, they earn a bracelet to wear during our celebration day on March 26th.  Thank you for doing this!

We are currently in our basketball unit.  Study guides will go home next week.  The online basketball assessment is planned for Wednesday, March 25th.  Please have your child go over their study guide.

After spring break, we will get into our hockey unit.  Third graders will learn PV hockey by playing scooter hockey.  The fourth and fifth graders will be playing floor hockey.  One student asked me if it was ice hockey.  Wouldn't that be something?

As the weather gets warmer, please remember to stay active.  It does the body good!

January 2020

Welcome to 2020!  I hope everyone enjoyed their break.  Third graders have a chance to sign up for another set of intramurals.  This would be intramural basketball with Mrs. Sanchez.  Permission slips went home Monday and they are due back by Tuesday, January 14th.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

We will be starting our tennis unit on Monday.  We will work on the basic skills that are needed to play a tennis game.  Please ask your child about it as the unit goes on.
