Come Jump With Us!
Do you want to get better at jump rope? Do you want to meet other cool kids that like to jump rope? Penny will be offering an afterschool jump rope opportunity on Wednesdays from 3-4pm starting Wed, Jan 29th and running until Wed, Mar 5th. We will meet in the gym to practice our skills and learn some fun jumping games. This opportunity is open to ALL students 1st-8th grade. At the end of the session, there will be a group challenge opportunity where we can test our skills against other students in the nation. This challenge will be voluntary. Any parents that can volunteer are welcome. There is no cost to participate.
Please email Penny if you have any questions or would like to volunteer your time.

P.E. and the Open Classroom Philosophy
Whole Child Learning at the O.C. also involves trying many different sports and games to:
- learn how to work with others
- build strength & coordination
- practice emotional and physical self-regulation
Learning playground game basics makes it easy to go anywhere and play with anybody.
In addition to regular P.E. classes, we take frequent field trips to recreation centers and offer a variety of after school activities throughout the year.
Students are safer and more confident when wearing appropriate shoes and clothing to PE.
Archery practice in P.E. Also available as an after school course (2021).
