I hope everyone had a great holiday season! We are starting our equipment
unit. The activities we are planning are listed below. Students continue
to ask me about Mr. Daniello; he is back in Connecticut currently searching
for a job. He spoke with me a week or two ago and he said he misses being at
Anderson teaching our students.
January / February Activities:
Jan. 12th—16th Paddle Activities (K-5)
Jan. 20th—23rd Badminton Activities (K-5)
Jan. 27th—30th Tennis Activities (K-5)
Feb. 2nd—6th Disc Throwing [Frisbee] (K-5)
Feb. 9th— 13th Parachute Activities (K-5)
Feb. 16th—20th Earthball Activities [cage ball] (K-5)
Feb. 23rd—27th Short Rope [jump rope] (K-5)
Before the holiday break the 1st-5th grade students should have brought home
their results of the pretest of the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. That
sheet explained what each student needs to improve upon if there was any need
to do so. The software that those results were generated from was
accidentally deleted from my computer and I failed to back up the
information. We will be performing the PPFT again in the spring, those
results will count towards the fitness test awards. I will not be imputing
the results on the software this time. We will be changing our fitness
testing for next year anyway, we will be changing to an assessment tool
called fitnessgram. It is similar to the PPFT, but the school system is
changing over because of a grant received through ISPOD (In School Prevention
of Obesity and Disease). That is also where all of the SPARK information and
curriculum came from!
