PhyEd Day
From Mr. Ronnenberg's Blog:
Fall is upon us!!

Both the calendar and the weather are telling us its finally fall...  Just as a reminder please bring warm clothes because we do intend to go outside for P.E whenever possible.  Also remember it is nice to have a spare pair of socks, just in case they get wet outside.
Primary P.E (K-3rd grade)
Throwing and catching have taken up much of our time over the last week as we continue to develop hand-eye coordination.  Some groups have been using bean bags while others have used soft dodgeballs and even footballs.
Stay active:)

 
~The book order is due tomorrow.
 ~Tomorrow is our walking field trip to the fire station. Please make sure your child has shoes appropriate for walking.
