The first 2 weeks of school have been busy ones in Physical Education class! The students have been going over the rules for Physical Education. They have played get to know you games and a few spatial awareness games. We have also had the opportunity to go over playground rules, how to use the equipment safely and playground games. First and second graders have reviewed the rules for kickball and participated in a game. Second graders reviewed the rules for the game of 4-square. As we enter the next few weeks first graders will be working on spatial awareness, pathways, levels, locomotor skills and ball handling skills. The second graders will briefly review spatial awareness and locomotor skills. They will then move onto basic soccer skills. I look forward to a great year with your children. The Feelin Good Mileage Club provides opportunity for students, grades first to second, to walk for fitness. The Mileage Club will be held during recess 2 days a week. The walking course will be entirely on school grounds. Your child does not need special equipment or shoes to participate. Simply have him/her dress appropriately for the weather. Each student is free to walk as little or as much as he/she desires in the designated time. The Feelin’ Good Mileage Club is noncompetitive. Achievement awards will be given. For each 5 miles, your child will receive a Toe Token to place on his/her shoe. At each 10 miles, he/she will receive a certificate. I think your child will enjoy the Feelin’Good Mileage Club. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at pholeton @oxford.k12.pa.us If you would like to help out with the Mileage Club please send me an e-mail! P.E. RULES Our School Wide Behavior Plan focuses on 4 words: Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Effort. To us these words mean: Honesty: Play fair Respect: Be a good sport Responsibility: Be prepared Follow Directions Effort: Always try your best WHAT TO WEAR TO P.E.? Students must wear sneakers to be safe in Physical Education class. It is asked that loose comfortable clothing also be worn. Dress clothes and dresses may hinder your child’s participation in class. F.Y.I. – Sometimes students forget their sneakers on P.E. days. When this occurs, your child will not be able to participate for safety reasons. Forgetting sneakers will also affect your child’s effort and achievement grade in P.E. Please help your child to remember what day they have P.E. Remember, they can always bring their sneakers in their backpack and change in P.E. HEALTHY SNACKS Unsure what to send in for your students class party? Try one of these ideas. *fruit kabobs with a variety of fresh fruits *apples with light caramel dip *orange/pumpkin smoothies or any other variety of fruit smoothies *angel food cake in cupcake wrappers topped with fruit *cupcake wrappers filled with pretzels, low fat popcorn, trail mix or nuts *squeezable yogurt *fresh fruit pops- mix O.J. and strawberries, pour in mold and freeze *mix applesauce and yogurt and serve in dixie cups with fresh fruit Of course there are lots of ways to celebrate without food snacks. *goody bags with pencils/erasers etc… *small books *visors *Frisbee *hula hoops, jump ropes, balls donated to the class with birthday girl/boys name on item. -The cafeteria also offers healthy party treats at a small cost. |
