K-2 Students are continuing to develop a deeper understanding of concepts related to personal and general space. Different locomotor movements are being highlighted, taught and applied at this time: running, walking, skipping, galloping, sliding, hopping, jumping/landing, etc. 3-5 Students are continuing Bounce Brigade until mid-week. The latter part of this week and next week will include pre-testing for the FITNESSGRAM. Five components of this instrument will be assessed during pre-testing: Left and Right leg flexibility, push-ups, curl-ups and the pacer.

Welcome back Bears!
We are looking forward to providing your child with an exciting and rewarding physical education program. The P. E. classes will prove to be an integral part in their physical and social development. We take pride in our program and are committed to giving the students the best instruction possible.
Every child is expected to participate to the best of their ability each day they attend class. There are days, however, when illness or injury may inhibit your child’s ability to participate. If so, please send a note with your child, with a brief description regarding the nature of the restriction. If the condition restricts activity for more than 5 consecutive days, a doctor’s note will be required.
We are concerned about your child’s safety and for that reason; we require they wear athletic or running type shoes. Shoes with heels, boots or sandals (such as crocs) make it difficult for children to participate safely. Girls that choose to wear dresses or skirts should wear shorts underneath their clothing.
If your child has any ongoing health concerns or restrictions that we need to be aware of, please send a detailed note with instructions for their class participation limitations.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to working with your child.
Matt Cool and Betsy Stephens
