Hi Parents!

Just wanted to share...

Please ask your child about gym class today.  It was an interesting 45 minutes indeed!

   My philosophy in physical education is to assess students on not only the skills and development of fine and gross motor movements, but to develop and foster an attitude of positive play. This includes playing to the best of one's ability at all times, participating actively in all areas of play while demonstrating respect for the rules, for their peers and for figures of authority.  I expect active participation in all subject areas and that is non-negotiable.  This was an eye opener for some.  I encourage  you to have a conversation with your child about what they learned in our gym class today.  Fortunately, the one group that struggled to get along, DID pull it together and work it out in the end to play as a team.   I'm looking forward to a more positive effort by all next week!

How does one earn a level 4 in gym?  Ask your child... we talked about this after recess!

Thanks for your support!  This is a team effort between school and home indeed!
