Gymnastics 
Permission Form:  Will be sent home on Thursday.  Please return, asap.  Please make cheques payable to McGowan Park Elementary.  Thank you.

In January and February, students will participate in gymnastics sessions as part of our healthy living and physical education programs.  The Gymnastics program is about Physical Literacy. Physically literate students understand their body in motion, be it for fun, for health, or for building higher level skills in sport.

Starting next week we ask all students to be prepared with PE strip (body suit / shorts and t-shirts).  To participate safely, students must wear active wear without zippers, buttons, or loose draw strings.  Long hair must be tied back without using headbands or barrets.  Students will be asked to have bare feet.   We appreciate your help in having students ready for each session.

Schedule:
1.  Wednesday, January, 15 - in-school
2.  Monday, January 20 -  TCC
3.  Wednesday, January 22 - in-school
4.  Monday, January 27 - TCC

Structures: We are beginning a unit on man-made and natural structures!  Ask your child to name some structures that we discussed as a class!  If you have any empty paper towel tubes, please send them to school for an upcoming experiment!  Thank you!

Have a great night!
