Greetings From Phys. Ed! 🏃♂️
We can hardly believe it, but we are rounding out the final quarter of the school year! The springtime energy in the gym is at an all-time high, and we love it! It has been such a joy working with our students this year.
🏀 What We’re Working On
Our main focus continues to be making movement fun while building strong fundamental movement skills. Whether we are bowling, playing Scooter Soccer, Parachute, Stations, or 4-Square Volleyball, we are constantly practicing teamwork, cooperation, good sportsmanship and having fun, while continuing to sharpen skills.
Recently, students have been practicing their paddle skills, thanks to an amazing grant from the Ordway PTO and the Biddle Foundation! We focused on hand-eye coordination, agility, and balance, amongst other skills. So much more fun to come in these last few weeks of school!
🎯 Our Goal
Our mission is simple: keep lessons engaging so every child feels included, challenged, supported, while having fun. We want every student to leave the gym with a smile and a growing appreciation for a healthy, active lifestyle.
🗓️ Coming Up: FIELD DAY!
Mark your calendars for June 16! To make this massive event a success, we need your help.
-
Sign-Ups: Keep an eye out for a SignUpGenius coming out soon.
-
Shifts: You can volunteer for one session or stay for both!
-
Support: We need 2-3 Volunteers per station.
We would love your help to make this a special day for our students!
🌟 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Supporters
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Ordway PTO and the Biddle Foundation for their generous enrichment grant awarded to our Physical Education Department.
Because of their support, we have purchased brand-new equipment that allows Ordway students to explore new activities and expand their skill sets in the gym. We are so excited to see our students in action!
Go Otters!
Sincerely,
Your Phys. Ed. Team
Amanda Bailey, Michele Shields, and Noel Strand
