Gymnastics!!!

Happy FriYAY!!!

On January 11^th all grades will be starting our gymnastics unit. This will run for 3 weeks with the final week being Mission Impossible. As there is a higher risk for injury, this is a zero tolerance unit. Any students performing any activities in an unsafe manner or causing distraction to others will be removed from the gym and given an assignment to complete at a desk in the gym instead. We do perform some activities that involve heights, and tell the students to only climb as high as they feel comfortable. There is no penalty for not making it to the top. 

For this unit we ask that students are wearing appropriate clothing to allow for movement and safety:

o   No dangling earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches or rings

o   Long hair is tied back

o   No loose open clothing such as unbuttoned shirts or open hoodies

o   Don't wear pants that are too tight

o   Don't wear dresses, or skirts

o   No boots, heels, sandals or dress shoes

Any questions or concerns can be directed to Mr. Sadowsky.

Today the students did a couple of tests! We discussed that tests are not showing how good we are at something, but what we know. If we don’t know something, that is okay! The important thing is that we do not give up and try our best. This way Ms. Cokar knows what to teach. In case you are curious, the students independently wrote the numbers 1 – 100 in a hundreds chart, and also the letters of the alphabet (uppercase and lowercase).

I hope you have a fabulous and warm weekend!

Love, Ms. Cokar J
