PE Agenda October 21-25
Parents,
October is Eye Injury Prevention Month, National Bullying Prevention Month, National Health Education Week (14-18), World Food Day (16), Respiratory Care Week (20-26), and Red Ribbon Week (23-31).
We are nearly done with President's testing in grades 3-8 for the first quarter. The testing consists of a series of Physical Education tests that gauge muscular strength, muscular endurance, speed and quickness, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance. The tests include pull-ups, curl-ups, flex arm hang, shuttle run, pushups, sit and reach, mile run (jog) and I have added an additional test and that is the pole climb on the playground. Returning students will be told their results of last year and the idea is they show improvement from their fourth quarter results as they perform the tests in the first quarter this year (middle school has a journal that previous year's results are a part of, so they can physically see their results before testing). We will test again in the fourth quarter to gauge improvement over the course of the year. Students that are new in grades 4-7 plus our 3rd grade students will be creating a baseline result with their first quarter testing. They will need to improve on that result in quarter 4 when we test again. President's testing satisfies our Indiana State Standards in Physical Education for self assessment and formal fitness assessments. We have either started the mile or will be working on it this week in most classes.
Students in kindergarten will continue to work on the balance beam--going backwards. First and second grades have completed their work on the balance beam. We have begun work on movement games that involve balance, running, teamwork, and awareness.
Good Luck Ram Sports Teams!
HAVE A GREAT FALL BREAK!

PE Uniforms For Sale*****
Parents,
If your child has misplaced his or her PE uniform or simply wants to purchase an additional pair of PE shorts or t-shirt, I have them available in my office.
We do have a few gold shorts left over from last year. We are phasing the gold shorts out, but we have a sale going on for $5 a pair (a very limited supply of adult and youth sizes). The gold shorts can be worn for the entire 2013-2014 school year.
We have two kinds of green shorts--both kinds are $14 a pair. We have a dry mesh that is true to size and a dazzle short (shiny) that runs bigger in the waist and longer down the leg, both in adult and youth sizes.
We also have our green PE shirts, running $8 a piece. We have both adult and youth sizes.
Checks can be made out to: Holy Spirit PTO and can either be given to me or to the office.
Please specify what size(s) is needed.
Or you can send me an email at: kbranigan@holyspirit-indy.org
I do not have sweatpants or sweatshirts for sale. Students can start wearing a solid colored pair of sweatpants (navy blue, gray, black, or hunter green) in addition to Holy Spirit sweatpants, if they have ordered them already. Sweatpants should be worn over the top of their PE shorts. Sweatshirts should have the Holy Spirit logo.
Thank you!

Parents,
October is Eye Injury Prevention Month, National Bullying Prevention Month, National Health Education Week (14-18), World Food Day (16), Respiratory Care Week (20-26), and Red Ribbon Week (23-31).
Our schedule in our brief week is a full day Monday, half days Tuesday and Wednesday.
We are nearly done with President's testing in grades 3-8 for the first quarter. The testing consists of a series of Physical Education tests that gauge muscular strength, muscular endurance, speed and quickness, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance.

President's testing satisfies our Indiana State Standards in Physical Education for self assessment and formal fitness assessments. We will be doing the mile very soon in each class.

I have been talking to the students about planning for it. Third grade will do a half mile, while students in grades 4-8 will do a full mile.
Students in kindergarten and first grade will continue to work on the balance beam--going backwards. Second grade has completed their work on the balance beam. We will begin to work on movement games that involve balance.
