January 17, 2020
This week students built balloon rockets with
string, balloons and straws. The students took
turns setting off their rockets and had a great
time! I am so proud of how independent they have
become with building. We completed our vocabulary
challenge and worked on STEM bins for team
building creative thinking time.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

This Week
Here at the South Campus of DAS we have continued our Hockey unit. This week we fo-
cused on passing and continued practicing our stick handling. Stick handling is how hockey
players move the ball/puck around the playing surface. We also introduced friendly hockey
shooting. Students really enjoyed being able to play goalie and have friendly competition
with each other. Popular hockey activities this week included “Stick handling challenge”,
“Passing with a Partner”, and “Shooting on the Goalie Challenge”
Next Week
*Please remember to always have sneakers for PE. If your son/daughter wears
dress shoes or boots, please pack their sneakers to change into! Thank you

Next week we will continue our Hockey unit. We will work on all the skills we have been
practicing and also watch a video/complete a worksheet on hockey.
