In PE, we’ve spent the month of January working on jump rope skills and floor hockey skills. Younger students practiced jumping back and forth over a rope on the ground while older students challenged themselves to try Double Dutch or egg beater (both techniques that use two ropes simultaneously)! We learned that jumping rope is good for the heart and worked on sportsmanship in Floor Hockey.
Next, we’ll launch into outdoor PE with cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding. Please see dates below that we'll be doing outdoor PE at your child's school. I am excited to be participating in the New England Nordic Ski Association Nordic Rocks program this year to bring new Nordic skiing curriculum and equipment to Waitsfield and Moretown. Students will need all the warm gear they bring for recess- snow pants, snow boots, hats, neck warmers, mittens and coats- for these PE classes. *If the weather isn’t conducive to a positive learning experience, we’ll do PE inside, so please send sneakers as well.
Speaking of sneakers- if you have any gently used size 1 or 2 kids sneakers, I could use them to keep on hand as extras. Thanks for checking your closet!
