               Welcome to to Physical Education on line.

                                   Happy Summer!!

    The days are longer and the weather is warmer. 

                             Go outside and play! 


   Grades K-3 have completed working on our jump rope skills using  both long ropes in groups and individual ones on our own. We even tried Chinese jump rope. Try jumping togther as a family!

  We are now learning and practicing all the skills needed to play base games like kickball and baseball.  When the weather is nice we will be using the large oudoor field space so send your children with hats, sunglasses and sunscreen!

  We will also be getting ready for Field Day.  This year it will be on Thursday, June 11th!  Come out and volunteer for us!

  Children have completed their "Hopper" fitness calendars.  Come and see all the "Fitness Stars"  displayed in the gym!


    4th and 5th graders have completed the Personal Best Physical Fitness Test.  They will be bringing home their Fitnessgram with the results at the end of May.  Review the information with your child.

  Our last unit this year will be learning and practicitng  all the skills needed to play baseball/softball while using whiffle balls and bats.

  This years TV Turnoff Challenge was our most successful yet!  We had over 200 Waverly kids turn off their TV for an entire week!

Class winners were:  K-2 Mrs. La Polla's class               and 2-4 Mrs. Ryan's class.  Congratulations to both!


    Waverly's new walking/jogging path signs have been installed thanks to a grant from the Sachem Teacher Center! The children have been given permissison slips to join The Mileage Club to see how many miles they can walk/jog in the weeks ahead. This year children will earn plastic feet, mile markers, and a chain to showcase them on, along with their certificates to proudly display their distance walked.  Please feel free to walk the course any time after school with your family!

    I thank you for the privilege of sharing Physical Education with your child!  Please contact me at tdoon@sachem.edu with any questions or concerns you may have throughout the year.  See the district letter given to your child the first week of school for  information  on sneakers, medical excuses, and jewelry.
