Welcome to all our families for the 2011-12 Concord school year. We are loving having every other day physical education. Since the beginning of the year, your children have participated in many different games which reinforce the skills we are working on in class and allow the students to develop strategies for success. They have learned and practiced football skills and throwing skills. We have worked on some aspects of physical fitness testing with the third-fifth graders. All students loved having the inflatables and what a great workout they got. We also did the Halloween Challenge Course and all participated in the First Annual Concord Pumpkin. We are currently working on volleyball skills with all students. The 3rd-5th graders practice their skills using our oversized volleyball trainers. Our younger students are playing with balloons to introduce and reinforce these same skills.
Please remember to wear tennis shoes to class. When a student forgets their shoes the first time, we will look at their shoes and determine if we think they are safe for play or not. If they are safe, then we will let them play otherwise they will sit out. If they forget their shoes a second time then they will automatically sit out.
