Find Out what we are learning in PE
October 2019
I can't believe it is already October! This month definitely snuck up on me.
I hope your kiddos are enjoying there time with us at school! We have been busy in PE. We have reviewed and practiced just about all of the skills for learning targets this year.

We are going to review and practice volleyball bumping, volleyball setting, throwing, catching, jump roping, locomotor skills, basketball dribbling, striking, and rock wall.

Check Out Equipment: It seems the kids are loving the check out equipment program! I have had several students ask to check out equipment to go home and practice skills...Yay! Students who would like to check out equipment may do so at any time (assuming I have left the equipment they are wanting) as long as their permission slip is returned. I have a check list of all students who have returned their permission slips. If you need another copy just let me know and I would be happy to send one home!
Please note that this is different that library check outs. Students will not have a scheduled time to check things out. They will just need to ask me when they would like something and as long as it is still available it may be checked out. Equipment may be checked out to one student for one week. I love seeing students practice what we are learning outside of school!! :)
Equipment Donations: Thank you to all who have donated equipment. If you have more you would like to donate I would be happy to take things off your hands. I am accepting gently used or new jump ropes, basketballs, tennis balls, racquets, and soccer balls. Thank you for all your help in making the check out program a success!!
