We will begin "sit-ups", our next physical fitness test, which will determine our abdominal strength and endurance. Practice some sit-ups at home on a safe, comfortable surface so you are ready for your test. First through 6th grade students are timed for a minute and Kindergarten for half a minute. Modifications to this test will be made, as needed. Wear your sneakers and get ready for "Kid's Choice" Activities in gym class this week! Let's choose to do our best in all activities and be happy with our choices. I'll look for you in Walking Clubs and encourage your great participation in our Fitness Friday activity! Way to go, Good Sports!
