What: Please join us in engaging our younger elementary children in teaching them how to work as a team and develop perseverance, good sportsmanship and friendships through physical activity.  Our goal is to choose activities that will challenge the kids a bit, but something that they can be successful at.  Structured PE activities will be 30 minutes long and not more than 45 minutes. Afterwards we will have optional free play.

Parents will take turns organizing/planning/leading the activities and do a different activity every month. If you need equipment, reach out to the other parents or ACHEVmoms on Facebook to see if it can be obtained/borrowed for free, or come up with another idea that doesn’t require equipment you don’t have.  We are not expecting anyone to spend $$ on equipment.  Some examples: Relay races, duck duck goose/Simon Says/Red light-Green Light, trash can basketball, Capture the Flag, Freeze Tag/Blob tag, dodgeball, jump rope games, push up games, track and field games, etc.

Who: ACHEV members under 10 and parents.  ACHEV members over 10 are welcome to come and help the younger kids with the activities, sit and watch, or go play volleyball with the ACHEV volleyball group at Pitts Ranch.  Drop off is ok for ACHEV volleyball (please see calendar for details on volleyball).

Elementary PE is not a drop off event, and parents should be available and willing to help their children through the activities, giving assistance and encouragement as needed.

Elementary PE is a co-op, but will remain open for ACHEV members to join us any time. Please consider joining us regularly and helping plan activities.   We need to have a core group of people that intend to prioritize this activity on their calendar.  The dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar. All Fridays.  We will meet at Pitts Ranch Park with the exception of two dates that we anticipate will be at PV Fields (Camarillo).  Details will be kept up to date on the calendar.  Please email or text Bonnie Adair 805-504-6457 bonnieadair@verizon.net if you are interested in joining us.  We need to know how many children will be present in order to help with activity planning.
