PACER:  Wall of Fame

 

Mitchell has a Wall of Fame.  All students who beat their previous PACER score by at least one lap had their picture taken for the Wall of Fame.  Stop by and see it. 

 



 

If you don't know what the PACER is, ask your child, they should know :)



Fitnessgram

Both Longfellow and Mitchell are in the middle of our final round of Fitnessgram testing.  Results will be sent home with report cards on June 12th.  If you have questions about the Fitnessgram Assessment, please see the tab on the front page of the blog, or feel free to give me a call at either school.  

Jump Rope for Heart

 

Both Longfellow and Mitchell did a fantastic job in helping the American Heart Association during Jump Rope for Heart.  Longfellow raised just over $500.00 and Mitchell raised just over $1900.00.  The top earner at Longfellow was Jackie Baskerville in Team Unity and at Mitchell it was Connor Dortbudak in Mrs. Ceel's class.  Congratulations to both schools in their efforts!!!

Sight words and Physical Education

My Longfellow students pose for a picture with a few of their grade level sight words following a fun activity. This activity demonstrates one way that Physical Education strives to make connections to the classroom curriculum.

 Mrs. Moglowsky's kindergarten class.

Mr. Bombien's kindergarten class.

 

 Mr. Bissen's kindergarten/first grade combination class.

Miss Poehler's first grade class.

 

Miss Mejac's first/second grade combination class.

 

Mrs. Wandsneider's second grade class.







Rock Wall
This week the students in grades kindergarten through third grade started rock climbing.  The rock wall and activities work on the students fitness level, particularly muscular strength, balance and agility.  Check out the pictures of Longfellow students climbing the wall.

 The students are playing a game called "Shark Attack".

The students can also traverse the wall with obstacles.  We use hula hoops and the students can climb over, through or under the hoops. 

PACER--Wall of Fame
Check out Longfellow's PACER Wall of Fame!  What is the PACER Wall of Fame?  It is a wall dedicated to the students that were able to score at least one more lap this time on the PACER.  Over 100 students were up for the challenge!  Take a look during parent-teacher conferences this Tuesday.
