November
P.E. Notes
Happy
Halloween.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable Halloween. We have many things coming up
in November that we want you to be aware of as well as the things we have
covered this past month.
We
watched a video on Bus Safety and Evacuations. This video is
shown district wide and then the Transportation Dept. of GISD sent over buses
for every student to practice these evacuations. Thanks GISD for helping us
with this.
There
has been a confirmed case of the Flu at the High School so we want to continue
to remind everyone of the importance of washing hands especially as winter is
approaching and germs are spread more this time of the year.
We still
have some Chick-Fil-A ice cream coupon and a Gattiland Buffet coupon for
students who bring a picture of themselves with their bicycle while wearing
their helmet. Send us those pictures and we will put them on our wall in
the gym and give the students who bring them the coupons.
America
Recycles Day November 15th. This is the official day but we
will be talking about it on the 13th and we hope everyone remembers
to do their part to help save our planets resources by recycling as much as
possible. Remember we recycle paper in the green and yellow bin in the parking
lot we recycle aluminum cans, cell phones and printer cartridges also. Thanks
We
are continuing to run during class to log miles trying to reach 26.2 mile for
each student. We are once again participating in The Marathon Kid’s
running program. If you signed up be sure and log your mileage your child is
running at home. We will keep track of what they run here at school. We
usually run enough here at school for them to be able to get a free T-Shirt.
Our website has more info and pictures. You can still sign up we hope your
child will join us.
Born
To Run – We are also participating in a district wide program that is
associated with Run Tex called Born to Run. Our district program
is called GT (Georgetown) Fit. We will begin the program December
1st and every student here at Carver will be receiving a T-Shirt to
begin the program. It will end with a 5K run sometime in the spring. We want
to thank Sunshine Webster, Jackie Holcomb and Michelle Tate for their hard work
in this effort.
Check
Our Website Out -
We put our current lessons we are covering in Health along with links to other
cool websites about those topics. We also have current events that are going on
and important dates to know about. Also on the home page there will be 3
questions. Have your child bring the answers to the questions to P.E. class and
your child will receive a prize. Our website address is:

Stranger
Safety – We watched a video put out by Julie Clark and John Walsh on
being safe around adults. In the video Safe Side Superchick talked about who
your Safe Side Adults are and Kinda Knows and Don’t Knows. Ask your child what
they remember about this presentation. It is an award winning video and had
great tips on keeping our kids safe. You are welcome to come and check it out
and watch it with your family at home.
Halloween Safety Tips
Just wanted to send
home to our parents some Halloween safety information we have been talking about
in class. If you type in “Halloween Safety” in the address bar of your computer
you can find many sites with great safety information. One of the best sites I
saw was
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/hallow.html. This was the US Consumer
Product Safety Commission. Here are a few tips about Halloween night activities
to help make it a safe and fun filled evening.
-
Don’t
let children eat their candy until the parents have checked it. Don’t eat
opened or candy that has a tear in it.
-
Don’t eat candy
that’s unwrapped.
-
Children under 12
should have adult supervision. Over 12 always stay in pairs.
-
Don’t wear dark
costumes unless you have reflective material or tape on it.
-
Don’t wear masks
that limit your vision.
-
Cross the street at
cross walks and don’t run between cars.
-
Have a flashlight
and be careful when going up to people’s houses, use sidewalks.
-
Find Fall Festival
type activities to go to. They have a lot of games, sometimes food and are a
lot of fun.
-
Parent’s when
driving BE CAREFUL! Many children are hit by cars on this
night.
Have A Fantastic, Fun, and Safe Halloween!!!
