PR LOST & FOUND
Our Lost & Found items are piling up as temperatures rise :)
Please stop by the Lost & Found - JUST OUTSIDE THE MUSIC ROOM - the next time you are in the building. Writing the LAST NAME on all your students items will assist in their return.
P.E. @ PR
Bowling has begun! Students learned the 4-step approach and how to keep accurate score. Students will continue to bowl next week too.
Our next major unit is Tchoukball. Tchoukball was originated in Switzerland and combines elements of handball (it is played with your hands, and the balls used are similar) and volleyball (as the defending team must prevent the ball from touching the ground). At each end of the field are trampoline-like rebounding frames that are used to score points. The team who has possession of the ball is trying to score by throwing the Tchoukball against the rebounder without the other team catching it. The other team is trying to anticipate where the ball is going to go based on the angle it is thrown and then must catch the ball before it hits the ground.
Is it not too late to sign up for the Eagle Running Club. Sessions are on Mondays and Wednesdays starting April 8th through May 15th. Permission slips are available in the PR gym.
Every Child Can Ride
Bicycles made possible through grant funding from the GEF
Dear First and Second Grade Parents,
We are pleased to announce all First and Second grade students will be participating in a Bicycle Training and Safety unit during their Physical Education classes. This unit will start on April 5th and continue through April 19th. Weather permiting, we are hoping to get outdoors as much as possible.
For safety purposes, all students will be required to wear a helmet and gym shoes. Students should bring their own properly pre-fitted helmet from home. For fitting tips you may choose to visit: www.helmets.org/fit.htm. We will have a very limited amount of helmets available to borrow at school.
The students will be divided into ability groups of non-riders and riders. Bicycles will be sized to each student. Instructional areas will have daily targets including: Bicycle Safety, proper helmet fitting, safe-handling skills, coordination, balance and motor planning. Students will ride on the blacktop located on school property .
We are in need of 1st & 2nd Grade Parent Volunteers to help with small groups of students. Second Grade students will be riding in the morning and First Grade students in the afternoon. Please sign up on the Volunteer Link that will be coming soon to the Lyon/Pleasant Ridge PTA Website.
In Fitness and Health,
Diane Abram & Doree Lattanzio
