I am writing to let you know that we will be starting a day hiking unit in our physical education class.  This unit will be approximately five days long and each day we will be covering a new topic.  We will discuss the planning of a day hike, packing for the hike, the actual hike, conditioning for the hike and finally clothing to wear and take along on the hike.  Your child will get hand outs on the information that was presented during class.  I will be assessing their understanding of the topics covered.  At the end of this unit, on Saturday, I will be leading a day hike up Manashtash Ridge.  Your child, as well as you, are welcome to join me.  I feel the outdoors can offer many great experiences and hope that I am able to open a door of new opportunities that they can enjoy.  If you have any questions about this upcoming unit please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Miss Beeman
