Welcome Back!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and a very happy new year!

This week in P.E. classes, all three grade levels will begin rollerblading. We will all start out learning and reviewing the basics of starting and stopping, as well as blading backwards. As we progress throughout the week, students will be working on cross-over steps, partner skating and varying the height levevls while rollerblading.

Safety equipment is available for any student to use at anytime. We have helmets, knee pads and elbow pads to provide some extra support and safety in case of a fall. So far, all of the students have been doing an outstanding job!

We will have our brake test towards the end of the week. Each student will have to demonstrate their ability to stop while rollerblading. We do this not only to test the students, but to make sure they are safe and have the basic knowledge of this activity outside of school.

GO PACKERS!!! They take on the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday in the Wild Card playoff game.
