P.E. this week
Starting on Monday April 30th, I will be passing out the results of the girl's (4th, 5th, & 6th) FitnessGram Assessment. They got results last fall from their fall test and are receiving another one for their spring test. Please take time to look it over. It gives you important information about your child's physical health. If they do well on a specific item it tells them how to maintain that level. If they have trouble with a particular item it tells them what, & how much, to do to improve. These are our improvement percentages for each grade level.
Fourth grade's %'s are listed first, 5th grade's are second, & 6th grade's are third.
Aerobic Capacity 30% 26% 45%
Curl Up 81% 74% 70%
Trunk Lift 84% 63% 91%
Upper Body 76% 76% 79%
Flexibility 89% 84% 94%
Body Fat % 84% 82% 81%
Ms. Hiscox, our student teacher from Purdue is here with us. We are learning all sorts of new things. We are learning about our immune system and playing a tag game that helps reinforce what we've learned. She's had to learn to work around all the Spring Program equipment and practices so I'm sure that was a learning experience for her as well. She's handling it as if she's been doing it all her life.
Boys are working on all their swim skills and progressing every day. Remember that it can be a little chilly walking back after they've been in the pool so please remind them to take a jacket - even on warmer days.
Please remember that your child will need gym shoes with a sneaker bottom for P.E class, as well as their Gym For Fun day. They do not need to be new. Also, gym shoes with laces or straps help to protect your child's feet/ankles better than those without laces. If they do not have gym shoes they may walk for their exercise, but it's not as much fun as participating along with everyone else. They do lose points each day they forget the correct shoes which can affect their grade.
Also, Ms. Hiscox from Purdue Univeristy will be student teaching here starting March 26th.
