We will resume our kickball unit this week. We were not able to play on the fields last week due to the extremely wet and soggy conditions on campus. We spent last week working on cooperative games and activities in the Athletic Center and Mini-Gym last week. Lets hope the good weather holds out.

Coach Every's classes will continue with kickball this week. Our students will concentrate on base running and teamwork at age-appropriate levels and in various lead-up games. Alpha and JK students will work on tracking skills using balloons in the Athletic Center.

Super Start

Coach Every's classes are off to a fantastic start of the 2012-2013 school year. This trimester I have Alpha classes once a week, Junior K classes twice a week and all other grades four times a week. My LD classes are currently Conroy(1/3 Minke), Hawley, Graham(1/3 of Deegan, Hensler(1/3 of Hobbs), and the boys of Cameron and Tucker. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the new faces in the lower division and EC classes and reconnecting with my previous students. It has been quite a while since we have had such a wet beginning to the school year. The PE staff has had to be very flexible with our plans due to the wet conditions around our campus. Despite the adversity we have a great amount of fun in class and in our new athletic center. Coach Every's PE classes will begin playing in our kickball / softball unit. Our K and 1st grade students will play various lead-up games focused on kicking, base running and rules of the game. Our 2nd - 4th graders will begin real kickball this week. Fielding, positioning, base-running and teamwork will be in constant focus throughout the week. As we head into next week our older students will begin working with baseball gloves and hitting from a tee. Third and fourth graders make take a small break in our kickball unit in order to post the first of three rounds of the Presidential Fitness Challenge. I look forward to the fantastic year ahead.
