PE Agenda May 5-9

Parents,

Some groups have not finished I-STEP yet and will continue this week.  We will continue President's Testing with Grades 3-8.  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. The idea is all students will show improvement from their first quarter testing.  We will be starting the mile this week or next week for many of our classes (dependent upon the completion of I-STEP, Annual Fund Dinner set-up, and of course the weather).  Students that have an inhaler, please make sure it is with them this week and plan on having them dress accordingly--we will be out of the gym Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday because of the Annual Fund Dinner (Thursday night).

Second grade will continue a Kickball Unit. We will continue to work on terminology.  We will be playing kickball games and stopping when we need to explain certain situations that we have been working on within class.

Kindergarten and first grade will continue to work with the parachute this week.  We will play "Popcorn" among other things with the parachute.

Have a great week!
