Roadrunner P.E. Newsletter
September 2018
Skating into September!
The school year has started off great! Your children are showing so much enthusiasm in class and showing me they can meet P.E. expectations. I still plan to practice, practice, practice if I see we are having trouble understanding established standards. I do this because I believe repetition creates habits and I want our students to develop a habit of setting high goals for themselves.
September has some great stuff going on but one of my favorite units will be rolling in towards the end of the month. Skating!
In-line skating 101 is an "in school" field trip during P.E. class for all 3rd-6th grade students. In-line skating is a super fun way to get fit and we are thrilled our students will get to be part of this wonderful program. Our K-2nd graders will be doing Imagi-skate! They'll be learning how to put on safety gear, play fun games, and use paper Imagi-skates which they will get to take home with them after we're finished with the program.
Looking forward to an awesome month!

This month in P.E.
All grades will start out with tag games which provide a fun way to get the body moving.
K-2nd will being doing Imagiskates. Students will learn about each pad individually, play games while wearing the pads, and use Imagiskates for a few days. The goal is that by the time they hit 3rd grade they will know how to put safety gear and skates on properly and can get started right away.
3rd-6th will be learning to skate on roller blades. They will learn how to put on all protective gear, proper form, and put into practice what they learn. We hope every student gets the opportunity to participate in this program.
