The students in fifth grade are finally finished with the fall series of physical fitness tests. Students were tested in the Curl Up, Back Saver Sit and Reach, 90 degree push ups, Trunk Lift and P.A.C.E.R.
The confidential test results were then entered, into a program called FitnessGram. This program then allows us to easily send reports to the state of Illinois, as is required this 2016-2017 school year. This is in an effort to meet State Goal 20, where students meet and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.
Our fourth and fifth grade students have begun their “football” unit. We’ve focused on the basics, which include punting, receiving, passing, and returning. Students put these basics to good use by playing Punt- Return-Tag and Scramble.
Third graders have finished up their Personal and Social Responsibility Unit. Students participated in games like Robotic’s Lab, Reflection Perfection, Ice-Water-Steam, Foam Ball Frenzy, Cooperative Triathlon, Machine Shop, and Aerobic Pattern Perfection. The third graders will finish up the month of October playing “See-Ya” and “Trick-or-Treat.”
Please be sure to watch your child’s take home folder and backpack for information about our JDRF walk, which will be held in November!!
