Character Education word of the month: RESPONSIBILITY
To be responsible means that people can rely on you. We can demonstrate responsibilty by being on time, being someone that others can depend on, doing the right thing regardless of what others are doing and telling the truth.

During PE class we took 10 minutes to discuss the character education word of the month. The students watched a video that demonstrated character, responsilbilty and respect. After the video the students discussed how they can demonstrate respect and responsibilty during their daily living

Bike safety and pedestrian safety unit is in full swing. The students are enjoying riding the bikes and applying safety skills for riding. We will continue to ride bicycles in PE classes trough November 18th.

Bicycle and Traffic Safety

Did you know that nearly one-third of bicyclist killed in traffic crashes were between 5 and 15 years of age. Many of these collisions involved bicyclist error, such as failing to stop or yield at intersections, riding against traffic, riding into the street or diagonally across it without first yielding and scanning for traffic.
In Physical Education and with the help of Character Ed we are teaching the students safe bicycle riding habits that will prevent injuries by equipping the students with skills and knowledge they will use throughout their lives. Between November 1st -19th DCPS will provide us with a trailer full of bikes and helmets. The students will be able to demonstrate the skills learned in PE class.
