Time for the Fitness Gram!

Last week we introduced all the Fitness Gram fitness tests to the 1st – 5th graders. The kindergarten students got a peek at a few of them, but not the whole array of tests. This week- it is time to do them for real.

Each grade level 1st – 5th will be tested, however, only the 4th and 5th graders will have their scores recorded and tracked. The 1st-3rd graders will perform the tests only. We will discuss our scores, and talk about the importance of trying to improve our fitness.

As for the little guys and gals- kindergarten will be heading into the next phase of our basic skills review. We will be introducing the boys and girls to kicking. We will break down the skill into a few simple steps, and allow them to practice their kicking! Once they have gotten a day or two of practice we will play a kicking game to help reinforce their skills work!
