We hope everyone had a great summer. Please, Please, Please make sure your student's shoe are tied (double knot) this is extremely helpful!!!! Safety is our goal in P.E.

In P.E. we are working on balance, personal space, moving safely in the gym and teamwork. Students will be doing activities to practice these TEKS.

Can your child tie their own shoes? This is a great time to learn over the summer. Students who can tie shoes will be given a certificate and be able to sign the "Shoe Tying Club" board!!!

We want to make sure everyone is safe and not tripping over untied shoes!

We hope everyone is having a great year.

Students not in the Watson Choir will rotate 2 weeks in P.E. and 1 week in Art. Mondays are our Cardio Days in P.E. students will be working on gaining as many miles as possible on these days.
