First grade enjoyed learning about light and sound with Dr. Bob.
Our AMAZING Kindergarten and First grade students have been working on improving their locomotor skills (walking, running, jumping, hopping, galloping, sliding, skipping, and marching) in P.E class. Over the last two weeks, each student earned a LOCOMOTOR LEARNERS LICENSE (Kindergarten) or a LOCOMOTOR LICENSE (First Grade).
Great job to our Second and Third Graders! They were very engaged during our NINJA JUMP ROPE CHALLENGE. Students worked to achieved each level of the challenge by jumping rope a consecutive number of times. Students signed off on levels 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, and 100 as they were achieved.
Way to Go! Fourth and Fifth Grade students practiced their listening skills and improving reaction time during our P.E. Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Bag (Bean Bag) Challenge. Students paired up with a bean bag on the floor between partners. Students listen to and follow directions called out by teachers to put their hands on their own head, shoulders, knees, and toes. If students heard “bag”, they quickly grabbed the bean bag. Students enjoyed the challenge. New partners were assigned after a few rounds of the game.
