Congratulations to all our Crozet students on a fantastic first quarter from the Physical Education department!  We are excited for all the successes from the first nine weeks of school, and are eagerly awaiting the many more to come.  We have some amazing things coming up in the second quarter!  As reminder to all students that it is super important that you remember to wear you tennis shoes to Physical Education class every time!  Proper footwear allows you to move around safely, and allows you to move and exercise to your full ability.  Water bottles are also nice to have as a sure fire way to stay hydrated without missing any class time!

Ms. Laine was recognized for receiving the Shannon Foundation Grant to paint the United States map on our black top for P.E. activities!  We have finished the map and we have starting using it to get students moving while learning about Social Studies, Geography, directions, and colors.  Thank you Ms. Laine for putting in the hard work to apply for the grant and for all of the painting!

What a great time we have had thus far in P.E.  Kindergarten and 1^st graders continue to work on their personal and spatial awareness.  Locomotor skills (walk, run, skip, gallop, jump, hop, leap, and slide) are practiced on a regular basis.   We move in various pathways each day and always try to include brain gym activities and integrating the core subjects.  Also, we have been focusing on soccer dribbling and kicking.  The 4^th and 5^th graders are completing their wellness testing!
