STAFF SPOTLIGHT

🏀Welcome to P.E.! Let’s Get Moving! ⚽
Hello wonderful families!
We’re off to a fantastic start in P.E. class this year! Our students are learning the ropes—getting familiar with the rules and expectations that help them shine as successful and respectful participants in physical education.
To kick things off, we’re diving into games and activities that are also played during recess—so don’t be surprised if your child comes home eager to play!
Kindergarten – 2nd Grade 🏃🏻♂️
Our youngest learners are working hard on their locomotor skills—think running, hopping, skipping—and practicing how to listen and follow directions like pros. Want to join the fun at home? Try playing Red Light, Green Light, I Spy, or the crowd favorite: What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?
4th – 6th Grade 💪
Upper-grade students are getting their bodies moving with warm-ups, stretching, and cardio workouts. They're mastering more advanced locomotor movements like running forward, backward, and sideways—all while building speed and agility. They love games like Spider Tag, 4-Square, and Wall Ball, so encourage them to teach you how to play!
Keep the Movement Going at Home!🏠
We’d love your support in encouraging daily physical activity outside of school, too. Whether it's a quick game in the backyard or a family walk, a little movement goes a long way!
Thanks for helping us build strong, healthy, and active kids—one step, skip, and tag at a time!
