The students have started a unit on Bones. They are learning some bone names and how to keep them healthy and strong. All students will have a written assessment on this unit.
Juggling focuses on bi-lateral coordination.
The students really seem to enjoy the juggling unit every year and I couldn’t believe how many were successful at juggling last year. Juggling is a
difficult skill to learn, so I am very proud of
the students that stick with it!
1st and 2nd graders will have a fitness unit and we will be raising our heart rates
while playing fun fitness games.
The 3rd and 4th graders will have their floor hockey unit and we will learn the basic skills and then put them to use in a game setting. The
Chicago Wolves donated practice jerseys
for them to wear
during class and students have already received a free ticket to a Wolves game of their choice. I encourage everyone to use the tickets because the games are a great time!
Students will enjoy the Basketball Unit. Students will learn to dribble, pass, and shoot. 3rd and 4th grade students will put their skills into a game setting.

Students in 3rd and 4th grade will be in a floor hockey unit in December. Each of them have received a voucher for the Chicago Wolves game. Try and use your voucher over winter break, it is a great
opportunity for a family night out!
If anyone is interested in 1st and 2nd grade I do have extra vouchers, please contact me for one!

Pe Shoes
Students must change their shoes for physical education class, especially since we are in the new gym. If not, they cannot participate that day. It is important for us to keep the floor clean. Tennis shoes for indoor physical education classes are required. Indoor tennis shoes must be clean and stay at school. Tennis shoes worn to school can be worn outside, but not inside.
