June 8nd, 2020 P.E. Website Updates: This week. Velouria and Estella share their fantastic home fitness courses on the Fitness Page and I share our Chalk Fest 2020 plans on the Physical Activity Page. Ms. Bastasch Update: HOME VISITS I had a few guests join me for my last home-visit walk! Ms. Tre Birkhauser, Mr. Roberts, and Principal Stowell were able to join me as we visited kids in Zone A. As you may know, I am trying to visit each student before summer break. I mapped out 10 zones where 30-40 kids live and I email each zone before my visit to share the day and time of my walk. This week, I plan on visiting four zones and then I'll have three left the last week of school. Fingers crossed. SPREAD JOY Ms. Page has been helping kids safely make sunflower seed packets! We can plant these in our yards and then spread joy and build community when we see them grow. They will be available at the Friday library book pick-up at school (while supplies last). MAKE CHALK Ms. Page and I will be hosting small, safe, chalk-making groups to prepare for CHALKFEST 2020! COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS We have reached 38 families since Ms. Tre sent out the email offering additional social and emotional support for kids. Ms. Alice and Ms. Page and I added small zoom groups and also matched up chalk-buddies and pen pals. It's not too late! Contact me if you would like a Greenwood chalk-buddy or pen pal for the summer. Chalk buddies are like pen-pals, but instead of mailing a letter they chalk a kind or fun message at one another's homes. I try and buddy kids up who live a good walking distance away too, so you get some family physical activity as a bonus!! P.E. in the Fall How do you feel about "distance education" P.E.? Has it been hard getting your children to get the 60 minutes of exercise they need each day OR are they betting way more than a typical school day? We don't know what school will look like in the Fall, but my hope is to be sure your children gets P.E. two or three days each week. I'd love your feedback about that and I know this Spring was not a success in that regard. [email protected] ART UPDATES: Ms. Wilburn is sending art classwork for you in emails or on Schoology. She is also creating an album on Schoology for sharing your artwork. Select "more+" at the top of this website to find more pages. |
