Hello Families!
We were so lucky to have such a beautiful day for our PE class. We walked outside to play in the grassy area on the other side of the parking lot. We practiced our ball skills - throwing, catching and kicking. This class is a bit younger than last year, so we will continue working on
cooperation and what it means to be a good partner/teammate. Good
sportsmanship is important at all levels of play.
We had a couple of students forget their water bottles - they can get very hot and tired while we are playing and there is no water outside. Some students offered to share their water bottle with another student, and while this is very kind, with cold and flu season coming up I am not sure you want this to become a habit.
Next week we will work on yoga /flexibility. Please make sure your student has appropriate clothing. If you have a yoga mat, please bring one. If you do not, we have some flexible puzzle mats that can be used instead.
Thank you.

week 1 review
Hi Families. It was great to meet our students this week. We did a brief warm up/stretch and then talked about the importance of exercise. We then combined our listening skills with our memory skills and ball control skills in a fun getting to know you ice-breaker. Great Job everyone!
Weather permitting, we will hold class outside this week and practice our ball skills. We will still meet in the fellowship hall and walk outside as a class. Please, don't let your student go outside without a teacher. If the weather is wet and we need to be inside, we will have class in the fellowship hall.
Please remember, as always: play clothes, athletic shoes and a water bottle.
See you Thursday.

open house day
Hi. Welcome to PE class.
In this class, we will work on movement, balance and having fun. For safety reasons, we ask that students have good fitting play clothes - it is hard to have fun if your pants are falling off, or your dress is over your head! We also ask that students have proper shoes for playing - sandals and boots do not make running easy or safe.
And please, remember to have a water bottle for your student. We keep the kids active and staying hydrated is really important. There is no water fountain outside, and the one in the basement does not work. ( maybe this year it does?)
Thank you for joining us. We hope your students enjoy the class. Please feel free to post comments or ask questions at any time.
