This week, I will continue my hula hoop unit with my kindergarten-2nd grade classes. They will all be practicing my hula hoop relay races during each of their classes this week. The 3rd-5th grade classes will start my football unit this week. This unit will last for 4-5 classes. The main skills I will focus on during the unit will be the throwing and catching. I will also teach them some of the basics of football throughout the unit.

My kindergarten-2nd grade classes will all start or continue to work on hula hoop skills this week. I have a variety of hula hoop skills that I will have my students practice that will be developmentally appropriate for their age/grade level. My 3rd-5th grade classes will finish up their final soccer games during their first class this week. During their second class, they will play one of my between unit games. The 4th-5th grade classes will also complete a soccer unit review in their journals, before they start the game.

This week, I will continue to have my 3rd-5th grade classes play sideline soccer games during both of their classes. The Kindergarten classes, will play tagging games during their first class of the week and then they will start my hula hoop unit during the second class of the week. The 1st and 2nd grade classes will continue to finish up their second 1/2 mile run outside and then they will come inside and play a soccer bowling game. If they are done with the second run, I will have them warm-up and then finish up my soccer unit with a soccer bowling game.

I would like to start by congratulating all of our students for doing an outstanding job at the event.  I was very proud of their attitude, effort, and performance.  I also thought they all did a great job representing themselves and Howard Elementary!   I’m pleased to announce the 2018 Cipriano Memorial Run placers for Howard Elementary!

I wanted to remind everyone that the 8th Annual Robert Cipriano Run is this Friday after our half day of school. Every 4th and 5th grade students at Howard had the opportunity to sign-up the last few weeks. If your child decided to sign-up, I have attached a reminder letter to this post that has all of the important information you will need to know about the upcoming run. If you have time on Friday, please come out and support our runners! The first run will start at 2 p.m.
