Our 4th and 5th grade volleyball tournaments will be completed by the end of the week.
Our 5th graders here at Grainwood will be going on an all-day field trip to Hyland Hills in Bloomington on Thursday, January 6, 2011. To prepare for the trip, a safety presentation will be given to the 5th graders on Monday, January 3, 2011. At that time they will be talking to the kids about expectations and etiquette while at the ski hill and on the slopes. The kids will be expected to complete the different skill stations before using the chair lift and going to the top of the hills. All of the 5th graders will be expected to attend the field trip for the day. No question about having enough snow this year for our trip! A permission letter and more information will be sent home soon and must be returned by January 3rd.
We are still trying to put Fall fitness scores on Family Access for parents to see. I will keep you informed of the progress.
In January we will be having basketball for all ages and doing some jump rope. Our annual service project for the American Heart Association is coming up in February, "Jump Rope for Heart." Also coming up in late January will be floor hockey. Dressing for the weather will be important in January and February. If Physical Education needs to move from the Gymnasium for some reason, sledding or snowshoeing outside will be the option.
