Hello My PE Friends,
     I'm getting so excited!  It's almost time for us to return to PE and learn how to play some new games and stations.  As you are shopping for school clothes, I wanted to remind you to get a pair of tennis shoes and some active wear that you can move freely in on your PE day.  It's going to be HOT the next few months, so you might want to pick up a water bottle as well.  Remember to put your name on it.  I can't wait to see you!  I am counting down the days until we will be together again.  Enjoy the rest of your summer!  Love you!!

Welcome Back!!  I hope everyone had a restful and joyful winter break!!  The weather has really put a damper on our PE classes!!  One day we can go outside and the next day we have to stay inside!!  Keeping our fingers crossed that the weather pattern will be back to normal soon.  We are limited on things we can do when we are inside, but we make the most of the limited space we have.  Balloons, mini trampolines, cans and tennis balls, chinese jumprope, legos, puzzles, magnetic blocks, and ball boards are some of the things we use when we are indoors.  Stay tuned, Jump Rope for Heart information will be coming home shortly. 

The month of October was very busy for us. We learned how to stay safe in all different types of situations.  The kindergartners learned what an emergency is and how to call for help.  The first and second graders learned how to react to an emergency.  The second graders were also taught when to perform CPR and  how to perform CPR correctly.  A huge thank you to Mandi Willis and several paramedics from  Levy County who volunteered their time to come teach the second graders.  I'm so proud of all the knowledge about being safe that our students were exposed to during the month of October (road safety, bike safety, pedestrian safety, school and home safety, fire safety, and CPR).  We also played games that were related to being safe.  

We just finished our unit on "Movement."  The students had so much fun playing games and just being active.  We learned about personal space, general space, boundaries, surroundings and obstacles all through active movement.  It is still very warm outside, so please dress your child appropriately on PE days.  I also recommend bringing a water bottle to PE.

Welcome Back!!  I hope you had an exciting summer!  I'm looking forward to another great year in PE.  Your teacher will be giving you a schedule for special area, so you will know what day you have PE on.  Please try to remember to wear your PE shoes and bring a water bottle.  I have some new games and activities for you to try!!  I can't wait to see you!!

I would like to thank Rex's mom, a student in first grade, for donating brand new basketballs to our PE class!!  A great big thank you to the FHSAA and Rex's mom for providing  the basketballs.  We greatly appreciate it!!

"Swish!!!"

Learning how to strike an object with body parts or using an implement, is what the students are working on!  It is so much fun to strike objects using rackets, paddles, bats or body parts, such as hands and feet.

Hunters and Birdies is a great way to practice striking using rackets.

"Fly Birdie Fly!"  Students must run as fast as they can without being hit by a birdie from the hunter.
