Hello, students and welcome back to Henry Ford Elementary School!!\u00a0 It was a wonderful…and quick summer!!!\u00a0 I hope you had fun and kept physically active!\u00a0 I ran a lot-I even ran around Mackinac Island-that’s 8 miles! I ran a couple of races, traveled Up North and read a lot of books! I love to read!!!\u00a0 I also had a garden and I’m still bringing tomatoes in my lunch!<\/p>\n
We are off to a good start this year.\u00a0 I see lots of familiar faces and also, lots of new faces!\u00a0 Each grade has their own curriculum but one thing is common with all grades this 1st marking period is the instep kick<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Lower grades will work on locomotor skills, too: Kindergarten and 1st grade will be learning how to and get better at hopping and 2nd grade will be working on the gallop.\u00a0 Third grade will be reviewing all locomotor skills.\u00a0 4th and 5th grades will be working on their fitness.\u00a0 4th grade will be assessed on the 13 min. continuous run (without walking) and the 5th grade will be assessed on the 15 min.continuous run (without walking).\u00a0 All grades will be graded on sportsmanship.<\/p>\n In addition to the skills being learned in P.E. (Physical Education) Class, there will be other opportunities in which the 4th and 5th graders can participate.\u00a0 They will receive a letter to take home if they are interested.<\/p>\n The first is Running Club.\u00a0 This is a club that meets at 7:50 in the morning, one day a week, beginning at the end of September.\u00a0 We meet throughout the year and then run in a race called the Martian Marathon.\u00a0 This is a COMMITMENT!\u00a0 Runner must come every week or they will be dropped from the club.\u00a0 The other opportunity to Run will be the Robert Cipriano Run in October.\u00a0 There is a small fee of $3, but it is a fun run and parents will be able to watch their child participate.<\/p>\n I’m looking forward to a great year!!!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, students and welcome back to Henry Ford Elementary School!!\u00a0 It was a wonderful…and quick summer!!!\u00a0 I hope you had fun and kept physically active!\u00a0 I ran a lot-I even ran around Mackinac Island-that’s 8 miles!
