The seasons are changing!
Just as we move into fall, we are bombarded with a sports bonanzas on television. Baseball is approaching the playoffs, football has begun, hockey is in pre-season and basketball is just around the corner. In physical education classes, students are participating in both soccer and flag football activities. Mr. D. is completing his unit in flag football by having the students experience a variety of "rip flag" games that utilize football skills. Six ball soccer has again surfaced and the students have been doing a great job learning the nuances of both offense and defense.
In family life classes we have been concentrating on the word COURAGE and discussing the many definitions of courage and how we can show it in our daily lives. We also have been discussing all three aspects of health: physical, mental and social. Keeping ourselves clean is a major focus for the health and physical education department. We are constantly reminding students of the importance of an extra shirt for physical education classes as well as a stick of deodorant. Also a change of sneakers for those students who have physical education classes in the morning.
Kindergarten Soccer has begun and we have a full field of small and energetic athletes kicking the ball around. We run the soccer on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, (weather permitting) from 3:05pm to 3:35 pm. If you get a chance come out and watch, you will truly enjoy yourself.
Any questions please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
