FEBRUARY IS HEART HEALTHY MONTH
- PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Students in grades 1-5 will be participating in our 27th Annual Jump Rope For Heart" event during their Physical Education classes. Teams will take turns rope jumping to get their hearts pumping and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This event takes place Feb. 12-14th. Please visit the American Heart Association web-site for more healthy tips.
Badminton is the name of the game this month. Students are learning how to strike an object (balloon or birdie) with a badminton racquet or foam racquet depending upon the grade level. Emphasis is on maintaining a safe personal space, when swinging a racquet, as well as eye-hand coordination and balance.
TECHNOLOGY
Each 1st and 2nd grade tech class is creating their own class book entitled "The Creepy Crawly Book", using text and draw. Would you be a slithering worm, a cricket, or a ladybug? Some students are making a cover for the book. Please come and look at the books during conferences later this month.
