Dear Families,
Being back in school five days has been very refreshing for us. Seeing mask covered smiling faces and abiding by a bunch of COVID safe protocols is the new normal. We encourage everyone to remain active all year. Try finding fun activities for the whole family. Walking, hiking, riding bikes, and playing outside, improve fitness, and enjoy quality family time while maintaining a safe “social distance” from others.
~ Mr. Burrows and Mrs. Marino
We have susupended adding weekly activities and resources for PE since we are back in school in person at this time (2020- 2021). We still have a bunch of Jefferson Road Elementary students studying remotely so we will leave the other activities up for everyone to use anytime. Previously enjoyed activities for PE can still be seen on this page.
Our Mission:
At Jefferson Road Elementary School we strive to provide students with fun, meaningful, and age appropriate experiences. Our goal is to give students the tools necessary to develop and maintain a physically active and healthy lifestyle. To accomplish this we teach the basic skills and movement patterns necessary to participate in a wide variety of sport and recreational activities. Skills and movement patterns are reinforced through non-traditional, fun, and creative games. Games and activities are designed to let students practice the skills they are working on, develop communication and critical thinking skills, improve sportsmanship and maximize participation.
This Week's Featured SWAY:
5th Grade Lock Directions
-
SWAY Directions: These SWAY presentations are designed for students to work through on their own without adult help (for the most part). Students of all ages and ability can work their way through the SWAY presentation on any device that has wifi capability by following the links in "Grade Level Specific Content, "Featured SWAY," or "Recent SWAY's." Going through a SWAY is easy, simply advance the slides using the arrows and click on the audio/video "play" buttons to have directions and/or content read aloud - just like they are in class:-)
