Opening and Somewhat Random PE Thoughts!

It's that time of the year again, time for fitness testing. Over the next week or two we will be taking all students, 1st - 5th grade, through the Fitness Gram testing.

We will only be keeping scores on the 3rd-5th graders. 1st and 2nd will be participating in the tests, but it's treated more like a "practice." This is done to familiarize them with the different tests so when they get to 3rd grade they'll be good to go.

The Kindergarten classes are being introduced to the gym routines and procedures. We have just wrapped up learning our warm-ups, and most of them are pros at knowing their squad and where to go!

Throughout the 2010-2011 school year Fridays will become "Fitness Fridays." Each activity we do on FF's will be centered around fitness. Our first official FF was today! Our activity today was 4 corner fitness. It went great!! There were a lot of hot and sweaty students leaving the gym!!

It's been a good start to the school year so far!
