It’s been a
couple of busy months in Physical Education.
Classes have been studying ball control skills, basketball, fitness
concepts, bowling and rolling skills.
Speaking of bowling the 5th grade class had the opportunity
to practice their game and scoring skills during a recess-bowling
tournament. Students where asked to
create three member teams, and then competed against each other. Students kept score manually and then where
able to check their score with the computer.
A total of eight teams had a great time bowling through the cold of
January.
Looking ahead
to February, we are starting to get ready for Jump Rope for Heart. Jump Rope
for Heart is sponsored by the American Heart Association and is their major
fundraiser for heart and blood vessel disease and stroke research. Blood vessel disease and stroke are our
nation’s number 1 and 3 killers. It
will also fund the development of educational materials that teach the
importance of heart health and staying fit.
Our school also earns gift certificates for physical education
equipment. In the next few days,
students will be coming home with some very import information about our
event. Please go over all of it with
them. Also, in that information will be
your chance to help out with the event.
Mark those calendars now for February 22nd. We’ll be holding our event in the gym
throughout the day. Visit the Physical
Education web site at for more information.
That’s it for
now. Take care, stay warm and stay
fit. Spring is coming.
