Off and Running!

Week two, is coming to and end...  It is amazing how each day seems to fly by!!  We are off to a great start in both Morning Movers and P.E.

Morning Movers is a program that started 4 years ago to incorporate more physical activity into the school day.  Morning Movers take place from 7:45 to 8:00 a.m each day for students in Kindergarten through Sixth grade.  Students who arrive at school before 8:00 a.m. are to drop off their school bag and head out to the playground to walk or jog a predetermined path.  This program moves inside if it is raining and each grade level is designated to walk or jog in the gym depending on the day.  Please remember we will even head outside in the snow, so bring your boots this winter.

In P.E we have begun our soccer unit.  Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated very well and we have been inside part time.  Passing/kicking, dribbling, goaltending, and teamwork are currently being discussed in most classes with our youngest groups focusing first on the gross motor movement of kicking.  We are looking forward to getting outside for the remainder of our soccer unit and the start of our physical fitness testing.  Have a great week and feel free to be in touch!
