FINAL Specials Update - Apr/May

Each month, Specials teachers will be providing updates to give you a peek into the progress your child is making in Specials classes.  If you ever have questions about your child within a particular class please feel free to email that teacher directly.  They are always available and happy to help.

All too soon the Spanish classes have come to an end.  I want to thank all the students and parents for an exceptionally school year. I’m always impressed with how much can be learned by enthusiastic students in a short time, and this group was no exception.  Please congratulate your sons and daughters on the progress they have made!

In April, we learned Spanish vocabulary about “La ropa” (the clothes) and we have practiced the vocabulary every day with the question: What are you wearing today? Among other activities.  Also, the kids have enjoyed the song called: “Gorro, camisa, y pantalones”.  Also, this month, we just finished the Unit: “Places”. They learned about important places to visit for fun as Museums, parks, Zoo and they practice the vocabulary with songs, worksheets and memory games.

In May, I will do a review about the important topics that we learned during the year, to give them the opportunity of practicing the vocabulary and the pronunciation.  Thank you again for making Spanish part of your child’s education.  As always, if you have questions or comments, please feel free to get in touch.  Have a wonderful summer!


Phy Ed w/ Ms. Susan
Lacrosse Unit:  My philosophy is that Physical Education should promote the learning domains and provide a positive learning environment where the students feel comfortable regardless of their ability. Through making our program paced and fun I will be able to incorporate different teaching styles so that those students of all levels feel comfortable and increase their Lacrosse skills. I feel that Physical Education should encourage students to take their new abilities and love for physical activity outside of their school. Where they will be able to use the skills that they have learned in school to play either at a competitive or a recreational level and implement themselves into life long learners.

Program Goal:
The goal of physical education is to develop physically educated individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity.

Unit Objectives:
Psychomotor Objectives:  Students will apply basic skills (cradle, scoop, throw and catch) to small game situations. 
Cognitive Objectives:  Students will describe two basic cues for each of the four skills of lacrosse.
 Affective Objectives:
  1. Students will work cooperatively and collaboratively in small groups in practice and small games.
  2. Students will practice and recognize good sportsmanship and support each other.
  3. Students will gain confidence and self-esteem by focusing on the basic elements of the game.
