This week will start with a Jump Rope for Heart assembly for 1st-5th grades on Monday morning to kick off the program.  Their classroom teacher will give them their donation envelope to bring home with them that day.  Then the students will have until April 15th to turn in their donations.

I will have all of my classes kindergarten-5th grade jumping rope this week and for two weeks after spring break.  The 3rd and final week will be my event week, during these classes the students jump rope for the majority of the class time using a variety of ropes and techniques.

This week my Kindergarten-2nd grade classes will be finishing up their hockey unit.  Next week will then be the start of jump rope for heart for all of my classes kindergarten-5th grade.  The 3rd grade classes will be playing a variety of games this week, because we are between units.  The 4th and 5th grade classes will be reviewing the bones and muscles test during the first class of the week.  Then during the final class of the week they will be taking the test.  Once we finish the review and the test on both days, I will then let the students play a variety of games for the time that is remaining.

The 1st-5th grade students will be attending a jump rope for heart assembly on Monday, March 21st at 9 a.m.  The presenter from the American Heart Association will let the students know about the program and the donation process.  The students will also be taking home the donation envelope that same day.

My jump rope for heart stations/event week will be April 11th-15th and that will also be my deadline for turning in donations.

This week my classes will continue the units from last week.  The 3rd-5th graders will continue with my tennis/badminton unit.  They will mainly be using the birdies this week, as they will try to keep the birdie in the air for as many hits as they can.  The Kindergarten-2nd grade classes will learn how to pass and shoot this week.  They will also lean about the goalie position.
