Physical Education
December brought a new set of challenges for the third through 5th grade classes. Classes were spending some extra time learning the food pyramid and will be assessed on it. Through instruction, students were being educated on portion control, serving sizes and the food groups. Parents, if you would like to help your child prepare for this assessment, go to www.mypyramid.gov.
Th The Physical Education classes have recently finished learning a wide variety of basketball skills and games. Ball Handling, shooting, and dribbling skills were all covered and assessed in the first three weeks back from Christmas break. The upper elementary classes learned how to play P.I.G, H.O.R.S.E, knockout and shot around the world, some of the classes even played a little three on three. Both the lower and upper elementary classes are currently working on dance. The upper elementary classes will have the opportunity to create and choreograph their own dance. The kindergarten and lower elementary classes will soon move on to tumbling and body awareness.
