Message from Mr. B. in Gym
The gym has been filled with a lot of positive energy over the past few weeks as kids practice their basketball skills. I’ve observed a lot of growth and confidence relating to ball handling skills in a very short time! Beginners are working on Level 1 dribbling skills (bounce and catch with two hands) and more experienced players are working their way up to Level 5 (eyes closed). Ask your students about shooting games like, “Make It Take It” or “Team Knockout”.
Mark your calendars for Hiawatha’s ice skating field trips at Essex High School on February 11th & 18th. It can be a really fun way to get involved and volunteer! More information will be coming soon.
Stay Warm,
Mr. B.
Winter Clothing Reminder
During the winter months, please send your student to school with a hat, a pair of gloves or mittens, a coat, snow pants, and boots. Students go outside for recess unless the ‘feels like’ temperature is below zero degrees.
Also, please pack extra shoes for your student to wear inside the school building. Wearing wet snow boots is not only uncomfortable but makes for wet floors, which can lead to injury.
If you need assistance with obtaining winter gear, please contact me or Mrs. Grykien (kgrykien@ewsd.org).
Thank you,
