GYM DANDIES- November 2007

Mr. Hauck

Mrs. Robbins

You child’s safety and comfort depends upon what they wear!

 As we approach the winter months, please keep the following in mind when dressing your child on physical education days:

1.    Sneakers are required to insure proper traction.  Slip-ons (those with no heel), leather soled shoes and snow boots are not appropriate for physical education class.

2.    A t-shirt should be worn under a sweatshirt or sweater to allow your child to take the outer garment off to prevent overheating.

3.    Layering clothes is also helpful if the gymnasiums become uncomfortably cold; especially the lower gym in the deep of the winter.

When thinking about Christmas, here are a few ideas for your list:

·                    hula hoops

·                    jump ropes

·                    playground balls

·                    pedometers

·                    inexpensive stopwatches (they love to “time” things)

·                    sidewalk chalk (for playing hopscotch, Jump the Brook, etc.)

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call Mr. Hauck or Mrs. Robbins at extension 3640.
