Why would they want to do that?" So I thought it would be a good idea for the sixth grade to write a brief paper on an Olympic event. The assignment is for the students to write a two to three page paper on an event that I have assigned to them. I went over what I expected with each class and gave them a hand out outlining what was expected. THIS IS NOT TAKING THE PLACE OF GYM CLASS. This is taking place of the Olympics. When the weather breaks, we may do a field day or mini-Olympics outside. Any concerns please feel free to email me http://www.stlblog.org/gfox/2010/02/6th_grade_olympic_event_paper.html http://www.stlblog.org/gfox/2010/02/6th_grade_olympic_event_paper.html Thu, 25 Feb 2010 08:42:39 -0600 Happy New Year!! This month brings a wide variety of activities to our students here at St. Linus. Kindergarten will be continuing to develop catching and throwing skills. First grade will be participating in "mini track meets." They will be running different races using the gym as a track. They will be running different distances and different types of races. Grades two through seven will be starting floor hockey. Grades two and three will be learning the basic rules of the game using the soft floor hockey sticks. Grades four and five will start playing using the bigger sticks while sixth and seventh start their league play. Eighth grade will begin playing a basketball league where they will be responsible for officiating and keeping track of the scorebook. http://www.stlblog.org/gfox/2010/01/happy_new_year_this_month.html http://www.stlblog.org/gfox/2010/01/happy_new_year_this_month.html Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:26:44 -0600 As of October 1st, students are now required to change from their school uniform into their P.E. uniforms. Changing rooms are made available for the students. If a student is not comfortable, other arrangements may be made with me. Right now Grades 1 through 8 are finishing up some type of football activities. Grades 1 and 2 are working on how to pull flags and are playing different games to reinforce this important skill. Grade 3 is working on different passing routes and will soon begin learning the basics on how a football game works. Grades 4 through 5 are actively practicing their game skills. Grades 6 through 8 are finishing up their flag football leagues. http://www.stlblog.org/gfox/2009/10/new_rules_for_pe_uniforms.html http://www.stlblog.org/gfox/2009/10/new_rules_for_pe_uniforms.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:50:46 -0600
