Grainwood PE classes recently finished up with Jump Rope for Heart. A big thank you to all students who helped raise money for the American Heart Association. It was an enjoyable day of jump roping and all worked hard at improving their skills.
The 4th and 5th grade floor hockey tournament finished up with champions from Room 263 in 4th grade and Room 265 in 5th grade. The games were fun and exciting with some going into overtime. The GW gym was rocking during the championship games, along with staff having the chance to face each champion in an additional game. Thanks everyone for your participation.
April will start with Dance, Dance, Revolution (DDR). Students at all levels will have their chance to show what they can do on the pads. When not on the game pads, students will be practicing on the practice pads.
As we look ahead to May, we will need to see how the field recovers from its surgery last summer (with the implementation of the bio-retention wall in SW corner of the school's property). This could affect participation on the field this spring. The 5th Grade will be having its All-District Track and Field Day at the High School track, with a tentative date set for May 28th. In general, we will try hard to be outside (weather permitting) as much as possible playing base games, doing fitness testing, frisbees and bocce ball up to year’s end.
Remember your tennis shoes on gym days and dress for the weather. Keep your eye on the Grainwood web site for additional PE pictures added periodically to the teacher’s web page.
Have a great spring!
