We hope everyone had a fun & refreshing Fall Break.  We're looking forward to the next nine weeks!

  This week we start learning/or reviewing how to use a pedometer.  We try to use them every week depending on that week's activity.  At the end of their class time they record how many steps they have taken on a chart that we keep for them.  We will be asking the older students places they would like to go to in the continental U.S.A. & they will be trying to figure out how many steps that it would take if they tried to walk there.  We take approximately 2,000 steps for every mile we walk so they will be taking the number of miles times 2,000 to come up with their answer.

Next week we will begin a unit where we play a game called "Turkey Hunt". You'll have to remember to ask your child what they did in P.E. next week.  It's a game they run "a lot" in & still love it.  Go figure. 

Please remember that your child will need gym shoes with a sneaker bottom for P.E class.  They do not need to be new.  Also, gym shoes with laces or straps help to protect your child's feet/ankles better than those without laces. If they do not have gym shoes they may walk for their exercise, but it's not as much fun as participating along with everyone else, & they do lose points each day they forget the correct shoes which can affect their grade.

If you haven't noticed yet, there is a link to the right with pictures that we have periodically taken in P.E. class. We hope you enjoy looking at these. 

Thank you for your interest in your child's health, & for viewing our website.

We hope the rest of your fall is safe, happy and healthy!
