Phys. Ed. news!

So how about some dance and yoga to add into our PE curriculum this year?! Because of our unique facility situation, Miss Cevoli and Mr. Fantaroni have become even more creative with their physical activity ideas this year! We have added a Dance unit into our curriculum where students have learned or reviewed a variety of popular line dances and some original line dances choreographed by Miss Cevoli. The K-1 students have done some fun easy dances in their classrooms such as the hokey-pokey, YMCA, cha-cha slide, ‘seasons’ dance, and chicken dance! The 2nd through 3rd graders have also done the YMCA, chicken dance, cha-cha slide, and Cupid Shuffle. They have also learned some original choreographed steps from Miss Cevoli to a variety of music for warm-up and creative group work. By using a variety of music, it exposes the children to different types of rhythms, tempos, and genres! In February, we did some scooter activities that helped increase cardiovascular endurance and hand-eye coordination. Mr. Fantaroni introduced the students to his original “Scooter Handball” game as well as basic scooter soccer, and scooter relays. We take the students outside as well for some fresh air and fun in the snow whenever the temperatures can allow us to! When we return from February vacation, we will be starting some Yoga and core-type activities using the donated mats from Baker’s PTAC, parent donations, and various yoga studios throughout the Cape, thank you all for your help and support!
