Hi families. Wow, your kids are great fun. This week we held class in the fellowship hall and did circuit training. This was a big hit with the kids, with lots of changing activity and movement. We will do this again through-out the semester, changing activities each time.
This week the weather is supposed to be pleasant and we hope to go outside to our ball play activities. Please remember to bring a water bottle. Play shoes are extremely important for active kids - rain boots, sandals, and most dress shoes do not provide the support needed for movement exercise. Thanks!

week 2 review
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.

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.

Hey kids, great class today. Circuit training is a lot of work, so you may have had some tired kids Thursday afternoon. 12 different stations and constant movement is a great work-out. :)
The best part? They all seemed to have fun!
Next week is game day - if the weather is nice, we will be outside. if not, we will play in the hall.
As always, please remember your water bottle.
Thanks,
Teachers Mary and Kellie

Hello! Yoga was great this week; we had a great time with a yoga version of the name game. I was impressed with everyone's patience as we went through each students name in various yoga poses. Nice work,kids!
This week, we will do some circuit training. It will be extremely important for your students to have sturdy athletic shoes and a water bottle. This class is high energy and very active.
Thanks,

Hey kids - Thanks for another great week of PE. It was nice to be back at school.... :)
And thank you for your understanding of the change in schedule. Living here in the NW has taught me to be very conscience of the weather, and take advantage of every chance I get to be outside when I can. So our yoga class was cancelled, and we moved to the grass area for ball play.
During this time, we will focus a lot on listening, following directions, and respect for our classmates. This sounds pretty basic, I know, but really, these are the foundations of team sports (and life in general, no?)
This week, the weather does look like rain, so we will aim for a yoga class this week. Please, bring your yoga mats and water bottles to class. No dresses, please.
Thank you,
