It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but

This is
what we have been doing in P.E.:
Kindergarten-1st Grade
We
have been beginning each class with fitness activities such as jumping jacks,
jump rope and the Macarena. The students
have been playing simple tagging and throwing games. Ask your children about playing shark under
the parachute. They love it! Finally, we’ve played new games like
Spongebob tag and exerbug races. Many of
my classes have also earned game of choice days.
2nd Grade-5th
Grade
We have been beginning each class
with team building games like the human knot and survivor. We’ve also done dances like the Cha Cha Slide
and the Macarena. We learned new games like Battleship and Super
Crazy Ball, which were a hit! The Pacer
Test was given this week to get multi- level
endurance test. As the year progresses, students
can see how they performed and set goals before they run it again. Many of these classes have also earned game of choice days.
6th Grade-8th Grade
All Middle School students have been
rotating through four fitness stations per day.
We have begun a new unit in basketball.
Rules of the game, as well
as dribbling, passing and shooting skills are practiced throughout the
quarter. A basketball “Jeopardy” test
will be given as well. The Pacer Test was also given to all Middle School students.
Please remind your children to bring water
bottles and wear sneakers to P.E. class.
Some students are wearing boots and forgetting to bring sneakers on
snowy days. Please help them remember
their shoes so they may participate in PE.
Thank you for
your support.
