THANKFUL.

Happy Thanksgiving Break to all!

I am very thankful to be at CCA and have the opportunity to teach and learn from all of my students!
I hope you had a restful, relaxing, and FUN time with family and friends.

Did you know?

-FUEL UP TO PLAY 60 is having its first "Fuel Council" meeting on Friday, December 3. This group of 15 5th and 6th grade students will meet with Bridget Thompson & me every Friday to get our school excited about physical activity and healthy eating!

-EXTRA CREDIT in P.E.? That's right. If at any point your child would like to gain extra credit, all they have to do is pick up a Physical Activity Log located on my music cart and complete 30 minutes/day of physical activity, recording each activity and getting a parent signature. It's that simple!

-I will be incorporating a FITNESS CIRCUIT for grades 2-6 at the beginning of each class period. This will involve shuttle run, jump rope, line jumps, crab walk, jumping jacks, sit ups, and aerobic steps. The students will be able to challenge themselves with different level completions that include: FIT, STRONG, PRO, or CHAMP. Very excited to get this started!

-VOLLEYBALL UNIT starts next week! Since my background is in volleyball, I am VERY excited to introduce my students to volleyball in a new way that is simpler for their developmental level and a whole lot of FUN. Ever heard of Eclipse Ball? It will be incorporated into our unit this year!

I'll leave you with these:
