Kindergarten students have been learning about safe and healthy ways to move their bodies in the gym. They are beginning to understand moving with an awareness of others and their surroundings. Students are learning many fundamental motor skills such as locomotor (running, hopping, leaping, galloping, sliding, jumping and skipping). throwing and catching, kicking and trapping, dribbling, and striking.
One of our favorite warm-up activities is a musical motor activity to the song "Tony Chestnut". Mrs. Towne's class has agreed to perform this activity at Monday Morning Meeting on December 2, 2007. Parents are welcomed to attend this 8:30 school-wide meeting.
We are fortunate to have two twenty minute P.E. classes and two twenty minute music classes this year. Students are definitely benefiting from the extra time.
