We just started a basketball unit for all the
grades. K-2nd will work
primarily on dribbling skills. 3rd-5th grade will work on
dribbling, passing,
and shooting, and then conclude with a full court basketball
game. As we
approach Jump Rope For Heart in April, we will have a schoolwide
jump rope
unit after basketball ends!
Look for Big Strides For Little Feet to resume in the Spring.
1st-
5th grade will participate on Tuesday and Thursday, and
Kindergarten on
Wednesday. The program is designed as an optional power
walking/light jog
around a quarter mile field. The children will have the
opportunity of doing
the program during their lunch recess. If the students
achieve four laps or
roughly one mile, they will receive a foot charm for their hard
work. At
future mileage milestones, the kids will receive cool Big Stride
pencils
and Big Stride T-shirts. If you are interested in
volunteering, please
contact Bonnie Gillen at 215-619-2888.
