4th grade Capture the Flag to end PE for the year. This group is READY to be our @D59Rupley 5th graders! #physed




We spent some class time reviewing things we have learned this year like ways to move, equipment, & taking turns when we see our names! #physed

From the design stage to the finished products...feeling so lucky to have @MsRomanArtClass as a teammate to bring this awesome experience to our students & these amazing backboard murals to our gym! @CCSD59 #physed #art

Thank you @juliebotkin and @D59Rupley staff and families for an outstanding Field Day!!!! What a gorgeous day!!!!
Students at @D59Rupley worked so hard to follow CHAMPS expectations this year...what better way to celebrate than a field day where we played like champs...joy, perseverance, skill, strategy, & more! Bonus: sunshine 🌞 @CoachNowlan


This @D59Rupley class did so well with a challenging game of modified volleyball with 2 volleyballs going at the same time. Focus was on passing, positions, & placement. All players were involved. So much great strategy and teamwork 🙌 #physed @CoachNowlan
𝐜 is for 𝐜halk!! @D59Rupley students created & completed movement pathways to celebrate the letter 𝐜 in the alphabet countdown! #physed @CoachNowlan
4-Square is a hard game, which can lead to frustration and failure. This year we decided to allow for the rules to be bent and it has led to a much more successful unit. Less arguing and more action! #physed @juliebotkin
