Getting ready for the track meet and Bocce!

This week student will be introduced to the game of Bocce Ball. Bocce is a relatively simple game that involves rolling a ball - the bocce - as close as possible to the target - the pallino. Through Bocce students are working on hand-eye coordination, judgement, sportsmanship, fair play, and score keeping. Another great benefit - its pretty easy to be good! Fun for all on the field this week!

This week we'll also be helping the 3rd and 4th graders choose the events in which they'll participate for the upcoming track meet. We are very excited to be hosting the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade meet on March 23rd!

Our final week together!

This week is the last week of the 1st trimester, and therefore my last week with Ms. Conroy's, Mrs. Densa's, Ms. O'Mullane's, and Ms. LaDuke's groups. It is also my final week with the Ms. Tucker's and Mr. Hughes' boys! While, I'll admit, I am a little sad to see you all moving on, I know that you'll have a great time with Coach D and Coach Every - AND I'm VERY excited to get to work with another new group of students! So many faces I feel like I haven't seen much this year!

For our last week together we'll be revisiting some of our previous units - Cone Ball, Rock Wall, and Burn Ball. We'll also have a chance to try out one more backyard game. Its sure to be a fun week for all!
