DEAR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES,
HAPPY FITNESS TO ALL.
IN 3RD AND 4TH GRADES WE ARE WORKING ON THE PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS CHALLENGE
AND JUST FINISHED THE HALF MILE RUN/WALK. I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THOSE
STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED WERE ABLE TO FINISH THE COURSE. THOSE STUDENTS WHO
WERE ABSENT OR WERE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE THAT DAY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO DO A MAKE UP. THERE WERE SOME STUDENTS WHO ALSO NEED TO MAKE UP SOME OF
THE OTHER EVENTS. WE WILL BE FINISHING THE CHIN-UP EVENT AND THE V-SIT IN THE
COMING WEEKS.
FIRST AND SECOND GRADERS WILL WORK ON THE FITNESS CHALLENGE DURING THE 2ND
TRIMESTER.
WE ARE STILL USING PEDOMETERS IN 1ST THRU 4TH GRADE. SOME OF THE STUDENTS ARE
GETTING VERY HIGH NUMBERS AT THE END OF GYM CLASSES. A PEDOMETER COUNT OF
2000 OR MORE IS A GOAL FOR THE 3RD AND 4TH GRADE. I AM LOOKING AT A GOAL OF
1000 OR MORE IN 1ST AND 2ND GRADES. KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS WILL BE LEARNING TO
USE THEM DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE 2ND TRIMESTER.
WE ARE WORKING ON LISTENING TO AND FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS THIS YEAR. THIS CAN
BE CALLENGE FOR SOME STUDENTS IN THE LOWER GRADES.
THE PRIMARY STUDENTS ARE WORKING ON EYE/HAND CO-ORDINATION, THROWING AND
CATCHING DIFFERENT OBJECTS TO EACH OTHER AND AT A TARGET.
STUDENTS IN 3RD AND 4TH ARE LEARNING TO THROW AND CATCH A FOOTBALL. WE ARE
ALSO USING THE GAME FLICKER FOOTBALL TO REINFORCE THAT SKILL.
ALL STUDENTS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.
THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
MRS. LINDERMAN
