Active Lifestyle Log Sheets

We will be sending home round 3 of our Active Lifestyle Challenge this week in Friday folders.  The parent letter, as well as the log sheet can also be downloaded from the Schedules and Forms link to the right.  You may start logging exercise on Monday, January 28th, and finish your last log in on Sunday, March 10th.  Log sheets will be due Monday, March 11th.  Please turn those in on time so your student can be rewarded for all that hard work on Wednesday, March 13th when we will jog our victory lap around the school.  I know it will be hard because the weather is cold, but get creative, work together, have some fun moving!!   

Jump Rope for Heart

We are getting ready to kick off our Jump Rope for Heart event this year, and we can't wait!  We have had several kids ask about it, so they are excited and ready to go, too!  We will talk about it with the students toward the end of the week. We will send home a note with all the due date and donation information, a collection envelope, and instructions on how to donate online in Friday folders.  You can click on the link to the right if you misplace you letter to get another copy.  If you misplace your envelope just send me note (via your child's teacher) or email me, (pbowen@oconeeschools.org), and I can always send another one.

Jump Rope for Heart is a great opportunity for us to talk with the students about keeping our hearts healthy and helping others with sick hearts at the same time.  Participation in this event can earn free PE equipment for our school, too.

Thanks for your consistent support in all our efforts at OCPS!

Welcome back!

I hope that everyone enjoyed a restful break, and we are all ready to go again! This semester we have all sorts of fun things going on.  We will have 2 student teachers from UGA.  One will start in January and finish at the end of February, at which point we will get our second student teacher of the year.  I will have more on them a bit later in the month.
In February we will have our annual Jump Rope for Heart event.  Be on the lookout for info on that as we get closer to February.
Our first graders will have a PTO performance this 9 weeks, also in February.  We are looking forward to that!
We will continue our Active Lifestyle Challenge in a couple of weeks when everyone has had time to settle back into the swing of things.
Keep checking in here for more FUN in Physical Education at OCPS!!

 

Active Lifestyle Log

If you did not turn in your Active Lifestyle Log today please turn it in tomorrow.  We will jog our victory lap on Wednesday morning at 8:00 am (all grades).  Have a GREAT break, and we'll see you in January!

Thanksgiving

The month of November has flown and things are always "moving" in the gym too.  I hope you all successfully received your Active Lifestyle log sheets for this 9 weeks.  If not you can always download a copy at the right in the "Schedules and Forms" section on the blog.  These will be due to be turned in this time on Monday, December 17th.  We will jog all grade levels on Wednesday, December 19th, the last day of school before the break.  Be sure and have them in on time so you can join in our victory lap through the halls of our school.  It is such a fun treat and celebration of hard work accomplished!

On a personal note I am SO thankful to be in this school!  I love my job and I love these children!  This time of year gives me a good chance to express it in case I do not say it enough throughout the rest of the year.  Thank you for being so supportive of PE and all the different things that go on here at OCPS.

Little Chief Fun Run

We had an AMAZING time at the Little Chief Fun Run this morning!  Now it is officially fall :)  All the boys and girls did such a good job!  Everyone finished and everyone behaved.  We even had a few take a spill,  and they all STILL finished!  What a wonderful group of students we have at our school!  There are a few pictures on the tab "Little Chief Fun Run" (above) if you would like to take a look.  Thanks to all the parents and teachers that helped out.  Thank you Mrs. Little for being so organized and all your hard work!

LIVE, LOVE, RUN!
OCPS ROCKS!  

Time is almost up!

Time is running out for you to sign up for the Litte Chief Fun Run! We need to order shirts this week.  I will be ordering a few extra just in case, but they are usually gone before race day.  So go ahead and send in that money and registration form! 

Also we are finishing up our last week for Active Lifestyle Challenge.  Be sure to bring in your log sheets filled out correctly and on time so that you can join us in our VICTORY LAP next week!
