Welcome to Mr. Valvo's Webpage!
September 6, 2017
Thank you to everyone for a strong start to the school year. It has made everything around Our Lady of Fatima run smoothly!
Starting the week of September 11th (unless noted by teachers) I will be enforcing dress code policies for Physical Education. Please check Our Lady of Fatima's guidelines for dress code
The middle school level PE classes are working on soccer skills, from passing and striking to positioning and goalkeeping. These skills help students with their hand-eye coordination along with focusing on the emphasis of teamwork.
The elementary levels of Physical Education are also working on various hand-eye coordination activities. We introduced a game called "Sinkerball" that requires students to not rush but to work together to get objects past the other part of the gym. In addition, I am looking forward to teaching my first Preschool PE class this Friday!
In Health, all classes are starting or finishing the lessons on decision-making skills. I am introducing the next topic in the coming weeks, which is demonstrating good character inside and outside the classroom.
Spanish class is all about the basics this month. 1st Grade students were introduced to simple greetings and to sound the first few letters of the Spanish alphabet. 4th Grade is working on the Spanish Alphabet and naming everyday items in Spanish. 6th and 7th Grade are working on a pre-assessment to focus on what they need to learn most importantly in order to demonstrate a better knowledge to the language.
Computer classes resume for 1st and 2nd Grade the week of September 11th. 2nd Grade will have class Monday at 8:45am and 1st Grade will have class next Wednesday at 12:45.
I will continue to provide some things that we will discuss or participate in throughout the website. If you have any questions, please reach me at MrVOLOF@gmail.com. Have a great last few days of summer.
God Bless,
Anthony J. Valvo
