Big News!!!!!!

Just wanted to let all of you Gators know that Mrs. Helmann and I are expecting our first child on June 4th, 2015!!!!!! We are so blessed and excited for our new arrival. Don't forget to vote on whether it is going to be a boy or a girl.

Congrats Miss Palmieri's Class!!!!

Congrats to Miss Palmieri's class for having the fastest time in our Mission Impossible game with a time of 4:11. They used teamwork, communication, and problem solving skills to take the crown!!

What are we doing in November??

This month we will be playing various team-oriented games in which students will need to come together to reach one common goal.  All of our games will require many different fundamental movements and techniques to be successful, but most of all teamwork.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Remember to not eat any candy that appears opened or has not been checked by your parents. Another good tip is to not get more candy than you should eat for Halloween.

1st Grade Gymnastics!!!!

Forward Roll Video!!

Gymnastics!!!! YAY!!!!!

Next week and the following weeks we are so blessed to have the gymnastics equipment at Greenbrier. We will work on many gymnastics skills such as balance activities, tumbling, bars, vault, and the climbing wall. Students will be working on lower body strength and upper body strength each day in warm-ups.  We will conclude our unit by building an obstacle course in the gym.

Look Ma....No Hands!!!

It's soccer time! For the next few weeks we will be working on our dribbling, passing, and scoring. We will be focusing on the team aspect of soccer while playing modified games and culminate with a tournament for our 4th and 5th graders.  Our primary students will work on fundamental skills as they learn soccer basics through small games and activities.

Super Gators P.E.

This year we will be focusing on finding the superhero in all of us.  The first week we talked about how all of our gators have their own special super powers. We may not be able to travel faster than the speed of light or fly through the air, but we all have special qualities that can help a team reach a common goal.  This year in P.E. we will be focusing on sportsmanship and teamwork in order to gain the necessary qualities needed to build good character.  In the upcoming months we will be participating in some team building, soccer, gymnastics,  and the mile run. The mile is administered to assess our current levels of cardiovascular fitness, and gives us the ability to make goals for our spring mile times.  Primary students will run a half mile and focus more on fundamental, loco-motor, and manipulation skills. Let's have a great year super gators!!!!
