Ginnings Gym

We have had such a great time this week with coaches from the United States Tennis Association (USTA). We learned about different strokes, tennis terminology and practiced controlling a ball with our rackets. Thank you so much Coach Luis, Coach Cody and Coach Mallory!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7-11!

Field Day is next Friday, May 4 from 8:30-11:30 am. You should receive a Field Day letter in your student’s Wednesday folder with reminders. Here is a picture of some of the things I have been talking to the kids about. Can’t wait! It will be a great day!

The Three Piggy Opera was super cute!

Enjoyed seeing lots of sweet friends at Ginnings’ 50th birthday celebration!

Met Carol Williams who taught PE at Ginnings from 1974-2005!

The Master Storyteller at work! We have been talking to our students about wisdom vs. foolishness. Ms. Castle shared a story involving the perfect example of foolishness. The look on our students faces was priceless! I think they will remember to practice wisdom after hearing the consequences suffered in Ms. Castle’s story!

Today was “Easy Tuesday” in Track practice, so our team only ran 100 laps, and was supposed to finish up with 20 push-ups and 50 curl ups. I had to smile watching them high-five each other as they ran up and down the court. After finishing what was required, they began to run again.....I asked why they were running and here are the answers I got:
“We don’t just want to be good, we want to be great!”
“In the long jump, I have to be able to run my best in order to jump my best.”
“I had to run again because I saw them running again, and I couldn’t let them run alone. “

Wow! What an impressive group. Going from class mates to team mates!
