Important Dates to put on your calendars:
Wednesday, October 7th is International Walk to School Day. We encourage all students if at all possible to walk to school on that day. All students will get special stickers, and healthy snacks to celebrate this important day. Only students who walk to school will get a card stock shoe, which they will decorate and will then be on display in the gym. Students who must take the bus still have a chance to earn the shoe by walking around the block at lunchtime with Ms. Dolezal and Ms. Patterson. Of course the plan is to have a great time walking and afterwards have all students walking to school every single day.
What if it rains? Answer: Wear a raincoat or use an umbrella.
What if it is cold? Answer: Dress warm.
What if I am late for school? Answer: You need to get up earlier!
Wouldn't it be great if there were no cars on Wednesday, October 7th. And how wonderful for the environment it will be. Your child will have an easier time sitting still if he/she walked to school. And the best part is, that it is fun! Your child can talk with a friend or make a new friend. On the way home they can set up play dates. Walking can be so much fun!

Welcome to another year of fun and fitness!
The Physical Education curriculum includes games, sports skills, dance, gymnastics, as well as health and nutrition.
Highlights are "Heartland Adventure" in September and gymnastics in April. For two weeks in September the gym will be turned into an obstacle course which students go through as little red and blue blood cells - with a red or blue playground ball - and do different activities throughout the "heart" and the "circulatory system". For example they pull themselves on the pulmonary (pull - monary) artery.

End of school news:
This summer help your child to stay in shape. The best way for children to do this is by having lots of fun: Playing outdoors, going to the park, taking a walk with their family, or trying out a new sport. If at all possible and safe, children should walk to their friends, the library or to their daycare. On rainy days they can turn on some music and dance, or practice jump rope. A jump rope is an inexpensive toy, needs little space and provides excellent aerobic workouts.
The US government recommends that children exercise 60 minutes on all or almost all days.
I wish you and your family a nice, relaxing summer.
Enjoy,
Mrs. Patterson
