PE Agenda April 28-May 2

Parents,

As a reminder, we will have our second round of I-STEP this week for Grades 3-8 and Friday is May Day (Mass will be on Friday this week instead of Wednesday).  We will continue President's Testing with Grades 3-8 (no mile this week due to I-STEP). 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.

Second grade will continue a Kickball Unit. We will continue to work on terminology. In addition, we have been working on different scenarios and situations, and will continue to do so.  If we are at a point to start playing games, we will start playing kickball games.

Kindergarten and first grade will start to work with the parachute this week.  We will talk about safety and work on some different movements with the parachute.

Have a great week!
