Thankful for..........?

Hello and happy November.  I want to update  parents and friends on the Physical Education classes, and fitness activities.

 

 

 

 

All the grades have been working hard on fitness.  They are able to sustain  exercise at a moderately high intensity for five minutes.  They are working their time up each month so the re-take of the mile run/walk will be a breeze.

 

 

Ask about snack-n-go, face the run, or Mrs. Herman as the lead runner.  Fun stuff. 

 

All third, fourth, and fifth graders have taken the mile run, and curl-up test.  These are two of the five tests your student will be assessed on, and then hopefully earn a Hedke Fitness Award at the end of the year.  I have been thrilled with the positive comments coming from students after they realize they have improved from last year.  Great job Bulldogs!!

 

 

The next fitness test will be v-sit reach.  How flexible are you?

Skills and drills

The kindergarten, first, and second have completed leap, and have been playing games to perfect their horizontal jump.  Rabbits in the garden was a fun game, if you made it in the garden!

 

 

The upper elementary have been working on ball handling: rolled, bounced, or thrown.

 

 

Basketball is the next unit of emphasis.  I hope they enjoy learning this very difficult, but fun sport.

 

Finally

Thankful for.....  Contest.

 

Any student that turns in a written statement listing the things they are thankful for  that keeps them, and their family active, and healthy will be entered in a drawing for a sports prize.  Make it sound great!

Due November 27th

 

 

Have a great Thanksgiving! I'll be cheering for the Lions at Ford field.  Go Lions!!
