Our next fitness test will be the "Standing Broad Jump" ( an indicator of leg strength for all grade levels). Get ready for Kid's Choice Activities for the next 2 cycles. All good sports will exercise the voting process for their favorite choices . All students are getting ht.and wt. measurements by our Nursing Dept. during these cycles and some are having an Energy Program in the gym. We will continue to rattle our "Mr. Bones" ( Skeletal System Activity) and I'm hoping we'll exercise our "funny bone" with a good joke or riddle! Let's have fun with me during our Fitness Friday Activity and always do your personal best in P.E. Class and everywhere . We're proud of all of our N.S. Good Sports!!

10/18/10 to 10/21/10, Inclusive

It's time for our Obstacle Course in P.E. Class. I invited all Good Sports to take my fitness challenge this cycle and avoid the "spiders" hanging around the gym! We enjoyed good music to dance to while waiting for our turn and which also kept us motivated to get through the course. We'll continue our "Mr. Bones" activity for fun while reinforcing learning of the skeletal system.. We'll also remember our Firefighters who help keep us safe. All students received a certificate for doing their best and escaping from the spiders in our fun obstacle course! See you soon in P.E. Class, Good Sports! Please exercise with me on Fitness Friday ,too!

10/8/10 to 10/15/10, Inclusive

We're "on a roll" in P.E. Class with some great Cageball fun promoting team efforts and cooperation , throwing skills and demonstrating our ability to follow game rules and safety rules. Our youngest students did a "spiders" movement activity with music CD incorporating the crab walk when they were to "travel" along a special pathway. As always, adaptations are in place as needed for everyone. Some classes were able to participate in a game incorporating a "buddy" system promoting collaborative efforts and helpfulness. We will rattle "Mr Bones", a fun activity which helps us to learn about our skeletal system and reinforce that knowledge. Everyone, please exercise with me on Fitness Friday! See you soon, Good Sports! P.S. Go NS!! Keep going Phillies!!

9/28/10 to 10/7/10, Inclusive
