-Engage in adventurous and challenging physical activities that support motivation.

What Did Students Do?

Students were introduced to new gymnastics stations involving various types of equipment.  We discussed safety in the gym during gymnastics as well as expectations.  Students were then shown what to do at each station and were put into small groups.  They were each assigned to a gymnastics station and were given time to explore and use their movement skills.  Students rotated through the various stations during our phys-ed classes.  Room 7 will continue with these stations in the coming week.

Ask your child:

-What are the safety rules for gymnastics?

Students are working towards creating burglar alarms by adding buzzers to their circuits.  They have been provided with many different materials and a problem.  They need to create an alarm that goes off when a door is opened.  Students have been working in groups to create their alarms.  This has been a tricky task for them as they all know how to create an alarm that goes off when a door is closed but being opened is a whole different thing.  We will complete this task in the coming week.  This is definitely building perseverance as we work throug...
