Mrs. Suarez's P.E Blog

Hello, Hello!

We’ve been in school a few weeks now and we are getting into a groove.  The BIG thing going on in 4th and 5th Grades are the 13 (4th grade) and 15 (5th grade) minute runs!  Those runs will begin the week of September 28th!  Don’t forget to practice everyday from now until the day before your test.  Students may qualify for the Robert Cipriano Memorial Run (it’s a free run, but students must qualify in order to run) during their running test.  Another run that they can participate in is called the Unity Run.  This Run will be held on Sunday, October 11, 2015

Welcome back students!

This is going to be an exciting school year!  The new addition looks great!  You will be surprised as you walk throughout the school at how many things have changed!

Big news for 4th and 5th graders – – – – we will be swimming in P.E. Class this year so don’t put your bathing suits away!  It looks like late October will be our first time to swim.  If you have long hair, I encourage you to get a rubber/silicone swim cap to help keep your hair dry.  I have a limited supply for sale.  Also, if you want to wear swim goggles, that’s no problem, but only the kind for swimming, not the snorkling kind.

We have an additional P.E Teacher this year.  His name is Mr. Tapp.

We are looking forward to a great year!

Keep smiling…….and have a sunny day!

Well, the school year has come to an end!  I would like to wish the 5th Graders Good Bye and Good Luck!  Come back to visit and let me know how you’re doing!

Remember, the summer is not the time to relax too much.  Keep moving, get plenty of sleep, eat the right things and

drink lots of water!

I hope you all have an active and healthy summer!

Have fun and come back in September raring to go!!!!

Keep Smiling!

Hello, all!

What happened to the warm weather?  Just last Friday we were sweating in the gym and now we are wearing jackets!  I hope it warms up and stays warm very soon.

We are going outside and jogging and playing kick ball when the weather lets us.  It’s much more fun out there in the sun and breeze  and warmth.  We don’t have to worry about kicking the ball and hitting the ceiling and the ball has no walls to stop it from going and going and going…  Mrs. Haviland’s class had a real treat last week.  We saw a rainbow cloud!!  It’s very hard to explain, but the cloud had all the colors of the rainbow and it was horizontal and not in a rainbow arch shape.  It was nothing we had ever seen before!!!  Cool…………………..

COMING UP – JUST FOR YOU – ANOTHER RAFFLE!!!  STAY TUNED TO THIS BLOG!  THE RAFFLE QUESTIONS WILL APPEAR NEXT WEEK!

There are some cool raffle prizes, so read  and then follow the directions exactly!  See you then!!!

Last Saturday was the Kids Martian Marathon at Ford Field Park in Dearborn.  37 Henry Ford 4th and 5th Graders participated in the run.  A BIG” THANK YOU” to Ms. McCormick and Mrs. Spencer who helped the students get ready for the race by handing out t-shirts, race bibs, pins and bandanas.  They answered parent questions, pointed out where the bathroom was located and directed the students to the Blue Cross/Blue Shield tent so they could claim their Martian Log prize. They also made sure the students got to the start line and off they went!  What a great run – up the hill, down the hill,  through the grass, into and out of the woods and then, there is was THE FINISH LINE!  After the students finished, they were given a very cool martian medal and a backpack filled with snacks and water. A fun day was had by all!  Some pictures were taken and will be downloaded here, very soon.  Hopefully, we’ll have more 4th and 5th graders next year in Running Club so they can participate in the Kids Martian Marathon, too!!!

It’s time for a Raffle!!!

It’s simple:

1 – Follow the rules

2 – Turn in your entry

3 – If your name is drawn, claim your prize!!

Here are the rules:

Write a poem about a specific sport, such as basketball, bowling, soccer, tennis, or about a specific piece of equipment, such as a basketball or gym shoe.  The poem must be neat, the paper you write on must not be ripped.  Use either lined paper or printer paper.  The poem could be an acrostic poem or a Haiku or any other poem that you have learned, here, at school.

This Saturday, April 18th, at Ford Field in Dearborn, at 12:00 noon, 39 Henry Ford 4th and 5th graders will participate in the Kids Martian Marathon!!!  They have been running since September every week in Running Club.  They have run 25 miles and the race is 1.2 miles long which  means they will have run a full marathon (26.2 miles) after they complete the race!  I look forward to posting some pictures from the race.

GOOD LUCK RUNNERS!!!

Hello, and welcome back from spring break.  I hope you had a chance to sleep in, read and get active.  We had a few good weather days.  Those days should have been spent outside being active.

Now that we are back in school, we need to practice our skills!!

Have a sunny day!!!
