Wow!  Did my students ever impress me as much as they did today?  What a remarkable day....
I had such a high level of cooperation, and responsibility today; it was simply awesome.  Thank you!
We had some new, first time ever activities, and it seemed everyone was having fun.  and even learned a bit in the process.
I did notice that students are still coming to class without a water bottle.  Please, this is an important part of this class, for your kids health and safety.  Remember, this class is at the end of our day, and most of our kids don't drink enough water throughout the day anyway.  To ask them to be physically active, and mentally alert puts a strain on them at this age, anyway. (or so it seems in most cases.)  To ask this of them while they are running a quart low, is just not fair.  Your car does not run well without oil - our bodies do not function well without water.  The water faucet downstairs does not work.  Please, bring a water bottle to class.
We also had one pair of flip-flops in class.  Please, proper athletic footwear is essential.  Luckily, our activities today did not require the use of our shoes.  In the future, we will send students to the core room, if they are not dressed appropriately for the activity.
Thanks,
Teacher Mary
