PE NEWSLETTER-NOV/DEC 2019
November is here and the leaves are just about off the trees. This means that our days outside are drawing to an end. Everyday I am so thankful that we have a spacious gymnasium to use when it rains or gets cold out.
Second, third, and fourth grades have just finished up their Physical Fitness test for the Fall soon. The test will also be administered in the Spring, where we usually observe an improvement. The test consists of a ¼ mile run (1/2 mile run for the 4th grades), a shuttle run, sit-ups, pull-ups, and a sit and reach test that measures an individual’s flexibility. The results of your child’s test were recently sent home.
Also, the second, third & fourth grades the second, third and fourth grades just finished a unit on football. Let’s hope the weather stays warm, so we can use our outdoor facilities before “hibernating” for the winter. All grades learned the basic skills of running, throwing, catching and punting the football, while the 3rd and 4th grades learned the functions of some of the offensive players.
The first graders recently finished their Locomotor License test. This “test” represents their ten basic locomotor movements that they learned over the first few weeks of school. They also completed activities involving hula hoops and balance, and parachutes. In December, all of our students will start working on jump roping skills, using both short, long jump ropes, and Chinese jump ropes.
Even though the weather will be turning colder soon, let’s not forget to get the children outside for some daily activities.
