PE NEWS
Welcome back! The second semester is busy in the gym! We have many events coming up!
This month we are learning how to jump rope. Jump rope is excellent exercise that gets your heart beating fast to improve fitness! Consider getting one for the family to have. We are selling them before school for $2 if you want one. February 7th is our Jump Rope for Heart event. This has been a Chancellor tradition for over 25 years. You child will be bringing home info soon about collecting donations for the American Heart Association. Students who donate $50 or more will be able to pour slime on Coach Smith and Coach Dale. J Donations need to be turned in by February 7th. Please help if you can!
3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will begin taking the FitnessGram test. This is a required state test to see how healthy and fit students are. The test will consist of jogging as long as possible, doing push ups and sit ups with correct form and checking flexibility. The nurse will also check height and weight. We work hard on fitness starting in kindergarten. Please keep practicing at home each day.
Healthy Snack-Frozen Yogurt Sandwich
All students are hungry after a day of working hard at school. Instead of having a bag of chips or cookies waiting for them when they get home, have the ingredients for a healthy snack.
Ingredients: graham crackers, frozen yogurt, banana
Smear a scoop of frozen yogurt on a graham cracker. Add a few slices of banana. Top with another graham cracker. Enjoy a yummy sandwich.
PE HOMEWORK
Practice math facts while doing exercises. The type of equation will depend on your grade level. 1st-3rd will probably want to add and subtract. 4th-5th can add, subtract, multiply or divide.
Have someone give you a math problem and you show the answer with an exercise.
Example: 2+2=4 (Do 4 jumping jacks)
Exercise ideas: push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, knee bends, lunges, mountain climbers, toe touches, high kicks, jog in place for the amount of seconds that matches the answer, etc.
Keep Moving!
