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,
Teachers Mary and Kellie

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,
Teachers Mary and Kellie

Hey Kids! I hope you had fun with Teacher Lisa this week. I missed you all and am looking forward to being back in class this week. Thank you Teacher Lisa for filling in for me. :)
Yoga is our plan for this week. If you have a yoga mat at home that you can bring to class, please do.
Girls, please no dresses as we will be doing a lot of bending and stretching!
and remember your water bottle.
Thanks,
Teacher Mary

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,

What a great first day of class! I was happy to see so many returning faces and a few new ones too. We have a busy year planned again, so please remind your students that they need to bring a water bottle to class. And proper shoes are a must.
This week, our movement skill focus will be jumping. Think jump ropes, hopping on one foot, jumping over boxes, jumping jacks....what can you think of?
See you soon!

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.
