Read 2 Ride
We are excited to be participating in the 2023 Read 2 Ride Program! You should have received a parent letter explaining how the program works. If you have any question please feel free to contact your child's teacher or our school coordinator Mrs. Roman. Please remember our reading logs are due March 22, 2023.
Valentine's Day Reminders
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and with that come some innocent looking hazards. Flowers usually arrive in a glass vase. Glass is specifically identified as a hazardous item on the bus, and balloons create a problem with visibility. Please remember, if you plan to have flowers and/or balloons delivered to school, your student will not be allowed to take them home on the bus. All-in-all, we would encourage you to save your surprises for home, instead of making a delivery to school.
Physical Education with Mrs. Lacelle
Hi Longview families,
January P.E. Recap
January was a busy month in PE. We started the month working on our striking skills, and played a fun game called SLAM ball. We welcomed a guest teacher, Mr. Healy from Steel Wolf Karate. The rest of the month we played pickleball and floor hockey.
Guest Teacher
Mr. Healy from Steel Wolf Karate came and shared basic karate skills with the students at Longview. He also shared the importance of being respectful. If your child is interested in karate classes visit www.STEELWOLFKARATE.com
February P.E.
Our February focus will be on Jump roping. This PE unit is a fan favorite with the kids at Longview. Jump roping is a great form of physical activity.
You can take it anywhere,
You don’t need a lot of space,
It is in-expensive, and a great workout.
If you know lots of different tricks you can jump for a long time without getting bored.
MAX YOUR DAY PHOTO WALL
Here at Longview we like to spotlight students that make the choice to be active outside of the school day. In our gym we have a photo wall of students that are being active outside of school. If your child is making the choice to get up and be active, we want to celebrate that! Take a picture and send it to me at jlacelle@mlsd161.org and I will place their picture on the wall.
Being Active
In PE students learn all about the importance of staying active and making healthy choices. During these cold months it can sometimes be difficult to keep kids active. Try to keep your students active and limit screen time. Students who are physically active tend to have better grades, school attendance, cognitive performance, and classroom behavior
