Climbing wall

We began our climbing wall unit this week, and the kids are having a blast!  Please be sure and send them in tennis shoes on their PE days so they participate fully and safely!

We are excited about PE!


Things have started smoothly this year!  So far we have learned and reviewed personal space, locomotor skills, and non-locomotor skills.  Can you believe your children can explain these terms??!  I can, because  they are so smart and so much fun to have in PE!
We have just started a unit on soccer skills.  We talked about all the different ways to kick a ball and the importance of keeping the ball close when you dribble.  We practiced foot-dribbling while we avoided knocking over obstacles (another big word our PE students know) and tried to control the soccer ball.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised if you ask your kids to tell you the meaning of these big words!!
