- Loose leaf paper (standard 3 hole, lined).
- Blue or black ink pen.
- Weird colored pens (i.e. red) or jell pens may only be used when we correct papers in class.

Physical Education - 6th Grade

What We Are Studying in Physical Education:
Our 4th Quarter activity is One Wall Handball. For the next few weeks we will participate in activities designed to help students with balance, agility and hand-eye coordination.

Dress for Gym Class - Suggested dress for class:
For gym activities the suggested dress is: T-shirt with your first initial [dot] last name clearly printed across the chest: i.e. R. SMITH
- Shorts or sweat pants. We expect that NO UNDERWEAR WILL BE EXPOSED.
- Socks and sport Shoes (i.e. Crosstrainers, Basketball shoes etc.)
*Students should dress neatly and modestly which mean no ripped or cut off clothes. No cargo pockets or excessively baggy clothes which could become caught on equipment. Please do not wear clothes which expose armpits or abdominal areas.
These guidelines for appropriate dress are also included in your P.E. Folder.

Do Not Wear Jewelry In Gym Class ! - For your safety and the safety of others, please do not wear jewelry during gym Class. Your gym locker is the appropriate place to lock up your valuables.
