I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving break!

5th grade has been participating in a variety of scooter activities while working on coordination, lower, and upper body strength. We are also working on our social responsibilities of taking responsibility for our own actions and not blaming others. We are working on using good sportsmanship versus bragging. Please help remind your student these are all important aspects, even outside of P.E. Thank you.

6th grade has been bowling the last couple of weeks in a variety of activities that promote knocking down as many pins as possible along with picking up a spare or strike. We will be learning how to score a game this week.

5th Graders are learning the rules of the road on their scooters! We have practiced lower and upper body skills to develop strength. So far we have played scooter basketball and going to play many other scooter activities.

6th Graders are bowling for the first time. We have learned a 4 step approach and how to hold and release the bowling ball correctly. We have played fun activities that incorporate practice knocking down pins along with physical fitness. Next week we will learn to score for a bowling game.
