This year, we will be having P.E. with M.J. We will miss Mr. Williams dearly. We're so lucky that our P.E. teachers co-teach once in awhile so we'll get to catch up with him then! Our class has P.E. on Wednesday and Friday each week. Don't forget your sneakers! Students are more than welcome to keep sneakers at school in their cubbies if they'd like.
Welcome to UES Physical Education! Your children will be moving and learning in PE
class this year. Classes will be 45 minutes long, twice a week. Feel free to stop in the gym or on Harrison field anytime to see your child in action. We always have a chair ready to make you feel welcome or you may choose to participate with your child!
Your child should come prepared and ready for movement on gym days by wearing:
sneakers, pants or shorts with elastic band, and a short sleeve shirt. On cool days, we will
wear our sweaters or sweatshirts outside. It’s important for your child to come prepared
so they will be comfortable and safe for all our activities. It is always a great idea to have
sunscreen on your children on the bright days, as they will be working outside.
During class the children will enjoy moving to music with various equipment, dribbling
balls with their head and feet, balancing, tumbling, manipulating a volleyball, dancing,
snowshoeing, juggling and much more. We will also start to learn and enjoy how
important it is for our hearts to beat fast through our award-winning Jump Rope for Heart
program.
Union Elementary School will be having an Open House this fall, and would love for
you to join us in the gym and learn all about our curriculum. More information about this
night will be sent out soon.
If we can be of help, please feel free to call us at school 225 8264. Or e-mail us at either
emmanuaelr@mpsvt.org or mariej@mpsvt.org Thank you very much for your support at home!
Sincerely,
Emmanuel Riby-Williams and Marie (MJ) Jennings
