PE in January

Welcome back, everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas break. I was so excited to see everyone Monday. This month in PE we are going to focus on Jumping Rope, Basketball, and our Fitness Checks in grades 1-8. PreK will focus on jumping over a lightly swung rope swinging back and forth while Kindergarten learns how to jump over a turning rope. 1st - 6th grade will review their jump roping skills. 3rd - 8th will practice basketball skills: dribbling, passing, shooting, defending. And all of 1st - 8th will do their Fitness Checks. They will be tested on their: sit-ups, push-ups, shuttle run, flexibility, and time on their laps. Our goal is to improve. We will look at our scores from September and hopefully we will be able to see some improvement. This is a great tool to show the students their progress and how regular exercises can improve their health. Pictures below are some of our 3rd and 4th graders jumping rope.
