SAFETY is the KEY ....

This week in PE/Fitness our focus continues to be about the safety of others while maintaining personal space.  Therefore, we have been playing two noodle games in PE called "Statue of Liberty" and "Crabby Patty."  In both activities, students must move about the gym court in a safe manner yet balancing a bean bag on the top or end of a noodle.  The challenging aspect of this game comes when other classmates try and knock the bean bag off your noodle while still maintaining balance of their own.  In fitness, we've been focusing on Playground Safety Rules as well as Bicycle Safety Rules.

Welcome Christie Cubs 2017-2018

Dear Christie Parents-

On behalf of the PE/Fitness team, let me first welcome you to Christie Elementary.  This week in PE/Fitness we have been outlining the rules/expectations.  The are as follows:

PE/Fitness Rules/Expectations

1- Be Safe

2- Be Respectful (self, team, coaches, equipment)

3- Be Prepared (Running SHOES, attitude, focus)

Our goal this year is to educate and guide all cubs through a quality Physical Education program that unites a foundation of physical literacy, wellness, and nutrition in order to develop and sustain a healthy lifestyle.  Below is a printable calendar to display on the refrigerator that families can complete together in hopes of establishing a healthy lifestyle together.  Please remember to initial each completed activity and return the calendar to your child's Fitness teacher for a reward!
