Mr. Spindler's corner
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking forward to the upcoming week and would love to introduce a challenge to you. It's great seeing so many of you and fun to get as much of the school together as we can so, for the next 2 weeks, I'm going to count to see which grade has the most students show up for our Google Meet. That grade will get to vote on my workout costume for the next week.
Also, keep checking on Google classroom for updates and if you ever miss a class, there are activities and workouts that we've already completed. You can also check out the PE playlist on YouTube.
I look forward to seeing you all at meet.google.com with the nickname 'spindlerpe' Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30.
All the best,
Mr. Spindler

Thank you,
Words of Encouragement
My grandmother once gave me a tip:
In difficult times, you move forward in small steps. Do what you have to do, but little by little.
Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.
Wash the dishes. Remove the dust. Write a letter. Make a soup.
You see? You are advancing step by step.
Take a step and stop. Rest a little. Praise yourself. Take another step. Then another.
You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more.
And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.
