Hi ROS students! First of all, I want to tell you how much we miss all of you! We didn't get to say good bye, but that's ok because I know that I will see you all again soon! It is technically our Spring Break and although we can't go about our daily lives like we used to, we can still have a lot of fun and be active while we are maintaining our social distance and staying home. I am going to post ideas on my blog with different activities that you can do with your family. You are going to love this first post! Our good friend Matt from Dance Pl3Y sent me a link to a YouTube playlist with 15 follow-along DANCEPL3Y songs for me to share with all of you! Check them out and have fun!!! And don't forget to yell out "I am AWESOME!" 15 follow-along Dance Pl3Y videos

ROS Students are currently participating in a ‘Circus’ unit in PE class. We are learning a variety of new tricks using various equipment such as juggling sticks, scarves, hula hoops, spinning plates, diablos, tossing rings and juggling clubs. Students are encouraged to check out the   Youtube  channel, the   National Circus Project . Below is a list of videos that students can watch to inspire them to try new tricks while in the gym. We are very excited about this unit!

Dear Parents and Guardians We have started our  gymnastics  unit in our regularly scheduled Physical Education classes. This unit will run until the end of January. Safety procedures are being carefully covered with each class. While students in elementary school are not expected to change their clothing for gym, I do talk to them about being dressed in preparation to participate. Please consider the following when sending your child to school: • Clothing that allows freedom of movement (no special uniforms or outfits are required – sweats and a t-shirt work best). • Loose fitting/baggy clothing may get caught on equipment when climbing. • Tucking shirts in may help to prevent an accident. • All jewelry that could get caught on equipment should be removed (left in classrooms or left at home). e.g. watches, rings, necklaces, etc... • Students with long hair should have their hair tied back. Tying hair back with elastics is recommended. • Students may wear shorts under clo
