Dear parent or guardian of _________________________________

      Enclosed is an outline we will be participating in during the next two weeks.  Sailingis a classic lifetime activity which students can participate in the rest of their lives.  Boating is an outdoor activity. This unit is a small part of the lifetime fitness unit we have been working with this past month.  Your student will be learning a variety of safety skills along with some navigation skills.

      Your student will be involved with sailing during this unit,   This  unit is not attended to make your student an expert sailer but to simply introduce this sport in hopes of further involvement.  Boating gives students the ability to be out on the water working first hand with nature. Although we can not afford to give every student a boat, but at the end of this unit we will be taking a boat out and applying the different aspects we have learned through out the quarter.  Sailing can open the students up to a whole new world in which they have not had the opportunity to be involved in.

     Sailing is a lifetime sport which can be put into place many times throughout the rest of there lives. The boating unit will last one week. If you would like to know how your student will be assessed, please refer to the assessment page .  Please feel free to contact me at anytime with any questions or concerns.
 

Sincerely
