week 11

Wow !  We are almost done with this semester.  Good job to all of you!
I think that this week we will do circuit training again.  I think we all enjoyed that.
And we will spend a few minutes talking about game ideas for our last class on Dec 13.

Please remember that circuit training is a lot of movement - good athletic shoes are important.  And so is a water bottle.  This class is busy, busy, busy!
Looking forward to another great class.

Week 10 PE

Wow - you kids did a great job on the circuit last week.
This week we will be doing yoga.  Please remember to bring your mat from home, if you have one.
And a water bottle.
Thanks,
Teacher Mary

PE week 7

Wow.  what a great class last week.  You fit-kids really pulled together for a fun class.  Thank you!
This week we will once again focus on our leg strength and balance as we practice our jumping skills.
Think not only jump-rope, but jumping jacks, bunny hops and even froggy leaps!  So don't forget, good sturdy athletic shoes are really important for safety and injury prevention.  And having a water bottle near-by in always a great idea.

We may be indoors again, due to the rainy weather, so special consideration to noise level is needed.
I have been setting up the hall to have class meet in the middle of the room, as there is a class on the stage and a class in the room adjacent to the kitchen.  Please remind your students to use an inside voice during class time, as much as possible....  :)
Thanks,
Teacher Mary

PE Week 6

Hey Fit-kids!
Last week yoga was fun.  Learning to stretch and bend our bodies is really good for us.  There are a lot more poses we can learn about next time!  This week we will learn more about strength training.
Having a strong body is important too.  Bring your yoga mat again, if you have one.  We will be on the floor in the fellowship hall again this week.  And don't forget your water bottle!

PE week 5

Hey Fit Kids! 
I hope you enjoyed last weeks' episode.  That was a fun day!
This week we will focus on our flexibility with some stretching exercises and some yoga. For this class, we will be meeting in the fellowship hall.
If you have a mat from last year, please bring it.  And of course, your water bottle!
See you soon!
Teacher Mary

PE week 4

Hey Fit Kids! and families....
Last week we had a new experience with parachute play.  While it was fun, it created an opportunity for this week's blog about respect and responsibility toward our equipment in class.  We experienced some very unnecessary roughness with the parachute and it may not make a re-appearance.
The co-op has purchased hula-hoops for this class - they are durable, but not unbreakable. Once they get bent or crushed, they could become unserviceable.  We will be using plastic balls, laundry baskets, jump-ropes, buckets...a variety of items for play.  And while I can appreciate normal wear and tear, I also would like to see some care and respect taken for our class equipment, as well as my own personal items.  Please discuss this with your PE students.
I love spending this time playing with your students, but all this motion and activity requires cooperation and respect towards each other and our equipment.
Please remember sturdy shoes and your water balls for this weeks class.
Thanks,
Teacher Mary and Teacher Kellie

PE week 3

Hey fit-kids!  Last week was so fun, let's do it again!
Something new for tomorrow - we will be staying in the fellowship room for class.
As always, remember good sturdy shoes - no sandals.  And don't forget your water bottle!
See you soon.
