Hello Brassfield Families! I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season. I am very excited to spend this vacation time with my family. My parents will be visiting from upstate New York for the next two weeks and I couldn't be happier. They are obviously thrilled to escape the snow and frigid temperatures for a while. We are going to spend most of our time at my Sister and Brother-in-law's new home in Fuquay Varina. Rest, relax, and enjoy this time with your families! Oh, and don't forget to practice your dribbling skills. We will continue with Basketball in the new year :).

Currently in Physical Education (10/16/14)...
Good Morning Brassfield families and fellow staff members!
I thought I would give an update about what our students are currently learning in Physical Education.
In grades K-3, we are working on the fundamentals required to develop and improve their throwing and catching skills. Each class is set up sequentially, so that the students start with a focus on their basic technique, and then progress to different games or activities that allow them to practice throwing and catching. The kids really seem to love it so far! :)
Our 4th and 5th grade classes are now in the Fitness Unit. The classes begin with interval training, where the students will jog for a certain amount of time, then walk for a period of time. We place an emphasis on finding a good pace that they will be able to consistently maintain, without having to walk during the timed jog. The purpose of interval training is to prepare for the mile run, which they will perform in a few weeks. After the training is completed they participate in different activities that are designed to improve their overall physical fitness level. In the coming weeks, we will also work on developing flexibility, and muscular strength.
