Wrapping up fitness testing

We have been finishing up our fitness testing over these last few days. We were able to test all the 2nd -5th graders on the following fitness tests:

Sit and Reach
Pacer
Curl-ups (abdominal crunches)
Pull-ups (or if they weren’t able to perform a pull up they could do a flexed arm hang)
Trunk lift

For a complete explanation of these tests you can visit the fitness gram web site by clicking HERE.

Since the students have been working so hard on their fitness tests we have decided to let them have a little fun for a few days. Over the next few days in PE we will be playing some large group games. Now, these large group games are a blast for the students, but while they are playing they are reinforcing many different PE concepts through their play.

As for the K & 1 students- they have been steadily working on our basic skills of throwing, catching, and kicking. Up next is striking! That should be a ton of fun. We will be working with everything from hockey sticks to tennis racquets!

Thanks for the support for PE!!
