Cup stacking world record

On November 8,  Crozet had 295 students take part in setting a new Guinness world record for number of people cup stacking in one day. We were one of 2,833 schools in 25 countries who set the new record at 624,390 people cup stacking in one day. Congratulations!

Star Wars

On May 4th we celebrated Star Wars Day.  We had light saber practice and then played Death Star Capture.

Cinco de Mayo

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo by doing the Mexican Hat Dance using the parachute as our sombrero.  We also played taco tag and had to do burrito rolls.

Water balloon toss

The final event for Jump Rope for Heart was our water balloon toss at the teachers.  For every $25 raised by a student during Jump Rope for Heart they earned a water balloon to toss at the teachers.  This year there were 336 water balloons flying at the wall above the teachers and getting them soaked.

Scrabble day

On April 13, we celebrated Scrabble day.  3rd, 4th, and 5th graders developed their own word lists from the letters they collected.  Knd, 1st, and 2nd grade were given word lists and then had to hunt for their specific letters from an assortment of letters.

Shannon Grant bricks

We have been using the bricks we were able to purchase with our Shannon Grant to build towers. We then tried to roll balls at the towers for either a "strike" (all bricks down in one roll) or a "spare" (all bricks down in two rolls).

Community Night

PE and Music celebrated Community Night by getting our visitors to move and do folk dances from Mexico, Russia, and the United States.

St. Patrick's Day

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day by playing Go for the Gold where we tried to get the gold away from the leprechauns and then we played Leprechaun Tag.

PE Buddy Day

We had our second PE Buddy Day of the school year.  We had talk time with our buddies so we could find out more about them.  Then we worked on the underhand roll at four different stations...some of the stations we even got to design ourselves.

Jump Rope for Heart

After a delay due to snow, we finally were able to have our Jump Rope for Heart event.  Our school donated over $9,300 to the American Heart Association.

Chinese New Year

We celebrated Chinese New Year with a lantern parade and a visit to the food buffet.

Valentine's Day

We celebrated Valentine's Day by rescuing candy from the candy guards.

100 days celebration

We celebrated our 100th day in school by dropping 100 tennis balls from the balcony and timing how quickly they were picked up.

Groundhog day

Groundhog day found us throwing rays of sunshine into the large groundhog hole in our gym and the groundhogs trying to throw them back out just as fast.

Popcorn day

All PE classes celebrated national popcorn day by popping popcorn the PE way!  We used scoops to pop up and catch our whiffleball popcorn and we used the parachute to pop our foam ball popcorn.

Winter activities

We have been adapting winter activities for PE.  We have used our scooters to act as snowmobiles and skeleton sleds.  We pretended to crawl through snow tunnels. We made snow angels and we worked on the underhand toss by catching oranges and bags of M & M's (balls and beanbags) in our stockings (buckets).
