Hawthorn Elementary North

WELCOME BACK TO ALL!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful and creative summer! We look forward at Hawthorn to a new and exciting year of learning
and growing. We will begin the year getting to know each other and expectations of all in class this year. I would like
everyone to feel comfortable, relaxed, and focused for all the new experiences that await you coming to class each day.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION NEEDS:

1) Wear gym shoes to gym class each and every day.
2) Wear clean socks with their gym shoes. Students are not allowed to participate barefoot.
3) Wear their name shirt to class each day and have it cleaned on a regular basis.
4) Avoid wearing any jewelry that could pose a health problem to either themselves or other.
(examples are long necklaces, bracelets, bulky rings, etc.) In addition, these items could get lost.

We would like to see your child come in focused and ready to learn. I will be announcing forthcoming schedule of activities.
We will start the year with a lot of low-organized activities and physical fitness testing.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me (847-990-4573) or e-mail me at thoursont@hawthorn73.org

THE YEAR IS MOVING ALONG VERY NICELY. MY STUDENTS ARE GROWING AND MATURING EACH AND EVERY DAY.
WE RECENTLY FINISHED UNITS IN STEP AEROBICS, FLOOR HOCKEY, LUMMI STICKS, AND ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT ACTIVITIES.

IN HEALTH, WE FINISHED UNITS IN PROPER BODY HYGIENE, GERM PREVENTION, AND GOOD DAILY HABITS TO
THAT ENSURE THESE AREAS BECOME COMMON PRACTICE.
WE ALSO RECENTLY FINISHED A UNIT ON CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. ISSUES DISCUSSED INCLUDED, WHAT IS
CHARACTER AND WHY DO WE NEED TO VALUE IT IN OUR LIVES. HOW DO WE MAKE AND MAINTAIN FREINDSHIPS
THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. HOW DO WE HANDLE ANGER, AND HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE OUR VARIOUS MOODS
THAT RESULT FROM BEING A SOCIAL HUMAN BEING AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS SO WE CAN MAINTAIN A SENSE OF
BALANCE IN OUR LIVES. THIS WAS A VERY GOOD UNIT AND THE STUDENTS LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THEMSELVES
AND FORMING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS IN THEIR LIVES.

OUR NEXT UNITS COMING BACK WILL INCLUDE, VOLLEYBALL, TUMBLING, CLIMBING, BASKETBALL, AND
OF COURSE OUR HEALTH UNITS. WE WILL COVER OUR BODY SYSTEMS AND PROPER NUTRITION.

I EXTEND TO ALL MY STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON AND HOPE ALL OF YOU GET A
CHANCE TO ENRICH YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIPS AND GROW CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER.

Welcome back

We are off to a fast start to a new and exciting school year. We completed units in Soccer, Football, and Fitness Testing. We are currently beginning new indoor units consisting of games, health, volleyball, & step aerobics.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION;

1. All students are required to wear their name shirts to class. Shirts should be cleaned weekly.

2. Students should wear or bring clean gym shoes to class every day.

3. Students should wear a pair of clean socks. This is for health and safety of the students.

We encourage parents to play an active role in their child's education. Ask your child what he did in class and how was that beneficial to him or her. Try and be active with your child by going for walks, participating in fun sports and recreational activities. Discuss good food choices and nutritional concerns that will lead to life long healthy habits. Parents you do make a difference in your child's life in creating the foundation for growth and learning.
