K-4 PE
I hope everyone had a great holiday break. I am ready to get back to school and enjoy the new year.
In PE we have lots of exciting things to do as we start the new year. 3rd and 4th grade are going to work through a small tennis tournament and play some volleyball. K is going to review some rules and start with movement skills to get back in the swing. 1st and 2nd grade will work on some movement and catching.
Then we will be working on some bowling. All grade levels generally look forward to bowling so I am sure it will be exciting.
During cold weather students do spend more recess inside the building. However it is important to dress students as if they may go outside. We all know the weather can be a bit unpredictable.
Thanks

Tennis
PRACTICE STARTS FEB 27th
Season is only a few weeks away. Meetings will be coming up to help remind you to be ready for the first day of Practice. Make you have your physical and bring all weather gear as the start of season often has up and down temperature changes. Also check your rackets. Strings lose tension (and you lose muscle) just sitting around the house.
Keys to playing your best
Playing is easier with off season training. Pushups and situps work good to strenthen muscles and build a strong core. Catching and throwing a medicine ball is good for the obliques. Practicing form movements can help the muscle memory and start you a head of the pack.
Getting on the courts on those rare nice days this time of year can be fun. You usually dont have high expectations and can play your best game by just having fun.
DONT FORGET
Listen for the Tennis meeting in your Building. I am planning to meet at the JH on Wednesday the 15th and at the high school on Thursday the 16th. The meeting is always short and sweet. Just a reminder to be prepared for the opening day.
I think we will have a great team and a great year and am looking forward to starting. We have a fun and busy schedule this year and look forward to an exciting season.
