Hearts

I spent a few minutes in P.E. today and observed Mr. Williams working with students to become more physically fit and knowledgeable about their hearts.  Students worked through the four chambers of a heart in this interactive obstacle course.  INQUIRE with your child about their heart and how blood is pumped through!  Enjoy this short video!  See below for an update for the month of November below.

Personalize a slideshow design   We have had an exciting November filled with activities that your children have loved! We just completed a successful unit of Jump Rope.  Throughout the past four weeks kindergarteners learned a variety of jump rope techniques including: a variety of short rope jumps, long rope, and Chinese jump roping. The culminating activity for the students was the “heart obstacle course” to reinforce the essence of daily physical activity and the impact on the heart circulatory system. We had a great month of continuing to get to know each of our students, and we look forward to having another successful unit. Beginning the month of December, we will begin a Gymnastics (tumbling and balance) unit.  Students will be introduced to basic gymnastics fundamentals in tumbling such as; log roll, forward roll, egg roll, static and dynamic balance routines. Your son/daughter will develop spatial and body awareness, self-confidence, muscle strength/endurance, and flexibility.  Thank you again for helping us to have successful Physical Education classes. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. One final note, Please help your son/daughter to remember to wear elastic-waist, stretchy material pants/shorts, a short/sleeved t-shirt, and sneakers. It is very important that the students come prepared for class!
