We concluded our soccer/lacrosse unit this week with a written test, and began fitness testing. Some classes got lucky with the weather being cool and without rain, and so we were able to run the mile (1/2 for 3rd grade). Others got rained out. We began testing for flexibility in those classes that needed to be indoors. Next week is more of the same - fitness testing, both indoors and out depending on the weather.
Stay active, stay healthy.

Week ending 9/18/09
Wow! I cannot believe we've been able to get outdoors every day again this week. Lakeview even ran the mile already. We played soccer and lacrosse (5th grade only) and had some great fun and exercise.
Next week there will be a written test on Wednesday. Study guides went out to all students today.
Following our soccer/lacrosse unit, we'll be conducting our physical fitness tests. We always do them in the Fall and again in the Spring. Hopefully student scores improve over the course of the year. During the fitness testing unit, we will be running the mile (1/2 mile for 3rd grade). Our students usually do well. I try to give the students a day's notice so they can do whatever it is to prepare themselves: whether it be mentally, to bring different clothes, extra socks, adjust their medicine, etc. I'm sure they'll be talking about it at home. Please remain encouraging.
Remember, stay active, and healthy.

Week ending 9/11/09
It was another fantastic week at Prairieview, especially in the gym. We began our soccer unit. We played some new lead up games and some oldies but goodies. Our lacrosse for fifth graders had to be put off until next week because we had 2 assemblies. Hopefully next week the weather will stay cooperative and we'll be outside daily. If not, we have some great plans for indoors as well.
Just as a reminder - the grass is wet with dew until close to 10:00 in the morning. Feel free to send your children with extra socks and/or gym shoes in case they should have a morning class and get wet (I know I always have spares that I use daily).
