In P.E. second graders have learned some kickball and some track skills. Now we are practicing T-ball/soft ball skills. We will go outside weather permitting.
I have been gone in the afternoons however, starting this week the kindergartners will see me for P.E. again. We will also be practicing T-ball skills outside.

Most days I see a K group and a 4th/5th grade group for RtI. My K group is mostly working on final sounds in words, but we have also worked on spelling & writing cvc words. They do very well at this.
My 4th/5th grade group has been working on Vocab in context. I have them guess at the meaning of the vocab words, then we find the words in the stories & figure out the true meaning. Most do well at this.
I continue to work with small groups from most classes on reading interventions or reading skills.
Merry Christmas to all!

I am aware that some of the elementary students worked on volleyball skills in November. K, 1 & 2 are working on them now. We have started by using balloons so they can practice the volleyball skills: forearm passing & setting, without fear of the ball. Next week we will move on to soft volleyballs and small beach balls.
I wish all of you “Happy Holidays!”

The students have played soccer, bowled, had fun with the parachutes and walked like crabs to play cage ball. I try to vary the activities to keep them interested. They seem to be having fun while staying fit.

RtI is up and running. I am working with Kindergarten and 4th grade on specific skills. I have also begun working with a few class groups/individuals during my Reading Intervention times.

In PE we have worked on throwing/tossing and catching and kicking skills. Starting in October we will learn some soccer skills and play some soccer games.

Once again I will be working with small groups during RtI times, mainly k-1 and 4-5. I will also be helping with interventions as needed per student. As reading is my main field of education, I really enjoy helping students become better readers. Together with the teams our school will help your children blossom more this year.

I am back to teaching PE this year and will have an aide with me most days. I have sent a letter home reminding parents to send their children prepared for PE with shoes and socks. I also listed the days your child’s class has PE with me. I look forward to a good year with lots of healthy activities.
