Back to School...Get ready!

Here we go! As we begin to get ready and are thinking of things we need for PE for the school year here is a short list:

1) A new or old uniform - (does it still fit?, does it smell okay;) we recommend TWO so one is in your locker and one in the laundry ;)

2) SUNSCREEN! August/Sept are the hottest months at school and we are outside for part of the time..Please bring sunscreen for your lockers!

3). A good pair of running shoes - this doesn't mean "Expensive" it means, good support and comfort for running (consider even leaving these in your locker so you always have your shoes) don't forget socks too!

4) Items for your locker (shower items, own towel if you would like, although we do provide a towel)

5) A hat! Did I tell you it is hot out there - especially at the beginning of the year..please bring a hat to school, leave it in your PE locker, your experience will be so much better! :)

We will talk about all of this soon.. but just in case you want to get a head start!

See you all shortly! Have a great rest of the summer!

UP NEXT: 6th grade: Handball/Wallyball - 8th grade: Water polo

We will begin our next units soon- after completing some fitness stations and fitness testing we will start our new units. Looking forward to a great 2nd half of the year!

8th Grade: Weight Room

We just completed our awesome weight room unit - we learned 26 machines in the "circuit" and how to use the Cardio equipment. The girls can now workout rotating through the circuit and on the cardio. It was a great unit and they seemed to enjoy it very much!

6th Grade: Floor Hockey Update




We are just wrapping up our Floor Hockey unit. We started with skills and drills, then played small games and then larger games. After we completed floor hockey we added scooter board hockey and Noodle hockey - both a very fun variation of floor hockey! We ended the unit with a short lesson on Cupstacking using speedstacks and even had a fun day where we rotated through all of the last few activities: Pickleball, Noodle Hockey, Jump Rope, and Speedstacks! Next up: Handball and Wallyball!
